I was just looking at the UFC website, and on their lightweight roster the only lightweights that folded over were pettis, henderson, shalorus, downes, zhang and cerrone. Did everyone else get cut? Thats like 15 fighters from the WEC not folding over and not one MMA website has reported this????
Not many of the WW/MW/LH's got signed when they got folded in.
Most of the LW's would lose their jobs, that's only logical because the rest of the weights are what they are. The reality was that the LW division just kept rematching the top 3-4 fighters, so obviously ZUFFA wasn't all that interested in the lower fighters.
I can't imagine a whole lot more than the list you had will move over, and even from that list i see few lasting beyond June '11. I'd imagine Shane Roller will get a shot.
Shane Roller was left off the list which was surprising, so was Horedecki, Paleszewski, Roop (even though he fights Hominck), Castillo, Micklewright, Njokuani, and Varner ( though not surprising as hes 0-3-1 is his last 4)

yeah i was on the website a bit ago and there are only 6 bantam weights that are listed. If the UFC doesn't merge them all in i will be very disappointed. Their's no reason they should have merged if they simply could have bought out a few of there fighters to start new weight classes. I hope this is just a website fluke.
Give it a little more time. I've been following the website roster ever since the did the makeover and they've stayed on top of things for the most part. I'm sure once all of them start fighting under the UFC banner their profiles will be up.

Roop is a featherweight...

I wouldn't read too much into it. The UFC website roster has always been notoriously inaccurate.

This. John Gunderson is still listed and he got cut in September. Hell, at one point Justin Eilers was still listed and he'd been dead for over a year.
