Why doesnt UFC target other HW athletes from other combat sports?

Yes. They would both probably spark him. Try throwing that sloppy ass rear uppercut with no setup against either of those two guys and see what happens. Keep fighting bums in bellator.

did you not notice that was volkov in that gif? he didn't KO a bum with that uppercut.

I don't think they need or should do that man, but i have no idea to why UFC doesn't invest more at heavyweight, it should be their focus, it's the division most people love and care about the most..
Can you stop talking out of your ass? That's not true at all.
That's a terrible idea. The top heavyweights outside UFC will never accept a fucking TUF contract, that's stupidity, they are making good cash at Russia, no way they come to US to be part of a fucking reality show.

Sure they would fight in tuf. Just make it for a title shot and pay em a reasonable salary too even for house fights.

Most of them dont even speak english, this TUF would be terrible. There's no reason whatsoever to make that shit, just get the good heavyweights at UFC, period.

They have- James Toney, Gokhan Saki, and Semmy Schilt all crossed over....Even Brock Lesnar can technically be counted as a crossover, he was in the UFC within a year of his pro debut.

MMA is not something you can just jump into at the highest level, it takes at least a few years to build yourself to that level even if you are a World Champion in one discipline.
