What percent of fighters making their UFC debut are last minute replacement guys?

[Meathead Jock]

Excluding TUF roster fighters it just seems like prospects have to be willing to take a fight short notice in order to get signed. Puts these guys in a position where its hard to make a great first impression.

 

[maxi diablo]

I'm guessing 25%

 

[James Baller]

I'll go with 30%.

 

[boss429]

36.45%
Approximately

 

[D'z]
