|  WEC octagon
So I was watching the event tonight, and I thought the octagon in WEC looked very small compared to the UFC. Are the sizes of the octagons different or is it my eyes?

Nice, i'm not the only one that thinks that it is smaller.
I think it is smaller as well. I don't know because the fighters are smaller, the camera angles, etc, but I think they are the same size, although I wouldn't be suprised if they were different sizes.

Yeah same goes for me. I definitely thought that the WEC octagon was slightly smaller.

WEC's cage use to be smaller until the Zuffa bought them out... now they use the same size cage as the UFC

I mean, I think most people assume since Zuffa bought them that they use the same cage, but I think they still use the smaller cage.

DD: Would the WEC fighters lose something if you moved them from the smaller WEC cage to the bigger UFC Octagon?
DW: Actually, we’ve been talking about making the Octagon smaller. We’re considering making it smaller. [UFC matchmaker] Joe Silva wants it. I think he wants to turn the thing into a [expletive] bathtub. Have them fight in a little tollbooth.

I was about to bring up that article, good find schizer.
But yes, the WEC cage is smaller than the Octagon. Plus, if it was the same size, wouldn't they refer to it as the octagon during broadcasts?
