Steven Ray

 

Sting.

 

Gina Carano
Rachel Cummins
Lucy Payne
Nikki Sahota

 

ken shamrock

 

You basically just listed every top non-UFC fighter and the majority of them are fairly unrealistic to be signed.

 

Thread is called" fighters i would like to see in ufc" and who wouldnt like to see top fighters outside ufc get a chanse to fight top 10 ufc fighters.
Why would i like to see some local guys with no notable wins in ufc?
Im not saying prospects shouldnt be signed but these are all top level fighters
Of course i want them in ufc

 

To make it interesting, I'll go with people that (I believe) don't have WSOF, M-1, One FC, Invicta FC, and Bellator contracts.

Heavyweight: Tough. I guess Cody East (legal trouble notwithstanding) and Chris Barnett (if he cuts down with the weight).

Light Heavyweight: Mikhail Mokhnatkin, Attila Vegh, Iain Martell, Maxim Grishin

Middleweight: Honestly can't think of anyone not signed with M-1 or Bellator.

Welterweight: Kamarudeen Usman, Nicolas Dalby, Magomed Mustafaev, Lyman Good

Lightweight: Gregor Gillespie (after a few more fights), Mansour Barnaoui, Musa Khamanaev

Featherweight: Tom Duquesnoy, Levan Makashvili, Alexandre Bezerra

Bantamweight: Jimmie Rivera, Luke Sanders, Soo-Chul Kim, Julio Arce, Irshaad Sayed

Flyweight: Yuki Motoya, Pedro Nobre (he's better than the Alcantara fight), Damacio Page, Pantoja, Nildo Nascimento, Soldado, Daico

WBW: Pannie Kianzad, Agnieszka Niedzwiedz, Valentina Shevchenko

WSW: Ericka Almeida, Livia Renata Souza

 

Hoping he lands on the upcoming Newark card. Kinda ridiculous that he hasn't been signed yet.

 

I remember thinking he was going to get signed after beating Papazian and Cullum in KOTC. They had just signed Pace, so I figured Rivera was next. 5 years and almost 10 wins later, it still hasn't happened. That's just crazy.

 

He fought on TUF after that and lost to Bermudez but acquitted himself well enough to warrant another shot imo. They signed Tateki Matsuda for fuck's sake.
