Yeah don't get me wrong, they have TONS of tough Legacy FC/prelim Bellator type fighters that do well in Tier 2 promotions but they have barely any consistent guys in Tier 1 promotions (UFC, main card Bellator, PFL). Trust me, I live and train in Texas, i know what they have (tons of "tough" B promotion guys but hardly any elite/high level fighters).
In the entire time i've trained/lived in Texas, i've seen maybe 3 guys that I've said "damn thats a high level fighter" (those guys where Vick, Guy Mezger, and Hendricks).
2nd highest population in the USA and you can't even get a handful of elite fighters in the last two decades (that's why I said for it's population, its one of the weakest states).
