@europe1 shared this interesting news today which I thought others might find interesting.

Despite being scolded by Dana White, every winner on the "Be like Joe Pyfer" episode ended up in the UFC.

None of their records turned out very good.
- Anton Turkalj went 0-4
- Dennis Buzukja went 1-3
- Alessandro Costa went 2-2

But to be fair, all were only brought in as injury replacements, and in some cases as absolute last resorts.

Here is how things unfolded in order for Dennis Buzukja to get a contract.
- Sean Woodson vs. Steve Garcia (Garcia injured).
- Sean Woodson vs. Jesse Butler (Butler removed by Athletic Commision on fight week).
- Sean Woodson vs. Mairon Santos (Santos couldn't make it because of Visa issues).
- Sean Woodson vs. Dennis Buzukja.

On top of everything, the opponent that Joe Pyfer beat that episode, Ozzy Diaz, also ended up in the UFC.
 
Tbf there is a chance that in the end Dana saw enough Joe Pyfer in these fools to sign them
 
UFC is now going to be making upwards of a billion dollars a year just from Paramount +, not to mention live gates which are always a million to several million, all that PowerSlap cheddar


How about using some of that cash to seek out the best guys from other orgs and signing them instead of filling cards who are basically warm bodies that fight cheap?

Every champ that defends a belt in KSW, OneFC, PFL, Glory (if they want to crossover to mma), should be getting a pay increase at the end of their contract when they become free agents to come and improve the depth of talent in the UFC.

They really need to let Dana go and move on from his absurdly dated antiquated way of doing things.



The roster is so OLD and bloated.

Bring in the Killers to put these old dogs down and start building NEW STARS

Close to a third of the entire roster is coming from DWCS so it doesn't surprise me that they are taking anyone.

I wonder if there's any data on that. Percentage of new talent signed since the Contender Series began.

UFC bragged about it in a promo during an event recently, that's where I got it from. But yeah there should be stats on that shit one would think. Everything is public so maybe someone can spin up some AI shit to keep track of it.
