Does he just have to fight through the rest of a contract or something?

He fights at 145 and the UFC doesn't have that weight class. He is a HUGE fish in a little pond in the WEC, I'm not sure he wants to step up to the UFC right now. He will have to eventually but the 155lb class in the UFC is LOADED with great talent. Dana white has talked about adding a 145lb class and that would be his cue to step up his level of competition. As always a lot of this is JMO.
