Coming early and coming later to the UFC

Shahbazyan lost again but Chandler lost as well.

There is a 21 year old currently fighting grown men in Shooto. Tatsuro Taira is 21 years old and is 8-0. He is fighting for the Shooto championship belt in 17 days.
Not sure how tough Shooto contracts are but if he keeps winning he should have a decision to wait or come to UFC.

I suspect he has his eye on the UFC, I was surprised when he wasn't in the Rizin tournament as it seemed like that was a step he was ready for.

They also have the Asian contender series coming up and they really need a couple of Japanese dudes on the roster.

I think an 8-12 wins should be required for every fighter signing with the UFC

So the Ufc just loses dozens of top prospects to the Bellator?
