From Graciemag:
After teammate Jose Aldo conquered the WEC featherweight title, Wagnney Fabiano decided to drop to bantamweight (135lbs, 61kg), as he aspires to the organization’s title and would never consider facing Aldo.
And the Nova Uniao black belt already has a likely date and opponent for his debut in his new weight division. The bout should take place January 10, against Frank Gomez.
Fabiano is coming off a surprising submission loss to Mackens Semerzier in his last match up at featherweight. In Gomez, he'll be facing a Greg Jackson fighter that's pretty well rounded. It'll be interesting to see how Fabiano performs after making the cut to 135lbs.

Good Move
Faber and Rafeal should take notes. Both are really small for the weight. Wagney should be a beast at 135.
This was confirmed by the team in Vegas at 106.

Good man!
Don’t wanna fight the champ? Find a new division! Thank god he had the stones to make the move, rather than tie up a division, good man!
