Heavyweights outside the UFC they should sign

I couldn't even name 10 UFC heavyweights let alone tell you guys who aren't even there yet. Sign them all, it can't possibly be worse than what they have.
 
They could probably convince some of these wrestling guys lol
 
Gomi was a post-prime alcoholic. Patchy Boy was supposedly a prime top 5 type of guy.
100% in regards to expectations, Patchy is the bigger disappointment. I rated him highly, but everything from his stance, to his movement, to his activity completely changed from his old fights to his UFC run.
Comparing him vs Bautista/Wiklacz and his run smoking Gooch/Magomedov/Pettis/Stots and it's two different fighters.

I don't even hold his second loss against him too much, they gave him a very competent fighter with no name to build that guy up a bit off Patchy since they were already planning on scrapping him for not eliminating their Bautista problem, but Patchy is definitely the wettest fart of recent memory performance wise.

And to add, at least we got one last vintage Gomi KO in the UFC during his run
 
I could name some names, but the problem is that all the best ones are obviously on gear, and probably won't look the same in the UFC.

King Polo, a few years down the line. He doesn't look like he's on anything, just a huge, athletic motherfucker, but is really young and raw and doesn't have the skills yet

This.

I'd also add in Pouya Rahmani from PFL who's excellent, but I'm not sure could pass a piss test given his history.

Evgeniy Goncharov who's one of the most exciting fighters in the division to watch.

Muslim Magomedov who's undefeated and the current ACA HW champion.

Daniil Matsola is also undefeated and has looked good, but still moving up the ACA HW ranks.
Magomedov seems to be a LHW, which possibly needs new blood even more than HW does. Good idea.
 
What about bringing back Arjan Bhullar? He proved he was championship material after voluntarily parting ways with the UFC.
