UFC LHW division is completely dead. Where are the rising contenders?

For Satan's folly.

You can't expect to promoted by a company who has a mainstay within Las Vegas, without being able to fight in the USA.

Well I'm talking about non-US events. He's an EU citizen, can literally fight in any card in Europe. We've seen fighters with smaller followings get better slots. And some mediocre fighters growing their followings because of getting favorable push.

But let's forget about better slots. Why can't he even get a fight on a card outside the US more than a year? How does being a US mainstay have anything to do with him getting a dark match in an overseas card? Neither help the US audience either way. Whether its Taisimov or some other bum nobody knows or cares about.


P.S. They really scheduled a guy for NYC and you're saying they don't care for him? Then why schedule him for NYC. None of you guys are consistent in your argument.

If a fighter pulls out of FS1 prelims it is no different from FP prelims, because he's not the headliner. If he makes it to fight night, they get an exciting FS1 fight. If he doesn't make it out, then its the same as if he pulled out from Fight Pass. Because neither affect the promotion or maincard or headline.

Not really, if he pulls out of FS1 then they have to relocate some fight from FP to FS1, changing the card and UFC/FS1 certainly don't like extra work.

Reality is, every Russian fighter that's not a Heavyweight or Khabib fights almost exclusively on Fight Pass.

Oh you're right like we don't have a russian fighter headlining this weekend

PS: It's not Khabib.
