It’s no secret that the UFC is the king of MMA. Like any of the other major sports leagues, the UFC is the ultimate goal for any aspiring athlete in MMA.
It’s also a fact that the best fighters in the world compete under the UFC banner and inside the Octagon. But that’s not to say there aren’t plenty of good fighters who don’t call the UFC home.
There’s a handful of guys competing in Bellator, Strikeforce, and DREAM among others that have talent but simply haven’t found their way to the bright lights of the UFC.
Signing these guys isn’t necessarily a top priority for Dana White but these guys should definitely have the UFC’s scouting crew paying attention.
