"Minor leagues" better talent than UFC?

[PrideOG]

These guys are untested on the international scene, Topuria isn't.

These guys are way more tested than Topuria was when he got signed. Also they are very tested, you just don't follow MMA outside of UFC

DDP came from KSW where he got KTFO by Soldic. Two fights after that he signs with UFC and goes 8-0 in the UFC (with 6 finishes) and becomes champ. Meanwhile outside of UFC he got finished twice and wasn't relevant.

Khamzat and Topuria are from Brave and no UFC fighter can beat them

So many fighters from Pride, Strikeforce, WEC, Rizin, KSW etc became champ in the UFC.



So my question is why the fans mock other orgs when every time UFC signs fighters from there and put them against their best fighters, the UFC fighters are rarely competitive in those fights. Can someone explain to me?

There are at least 3 fighters outside of UFC who would beat Belal at the moment. Other champs too

It’s almost like the UFC is where the best talent winds up after being accomplished in other organisations(usually there’s notable exceptions).

Nobody starts their career in the UFC, everyone has to come from somewhere.

Who are those few top dogs? Topuria? I doubt Topuria can beat these 3 in a row: Islam Omarov, Timur Khizriev and Rajabali Shaidullaev

UFC is filled with mediocre fighters that's why guys like Bisping, Strickland, Glover etc were champs.

Omarov would be interesting because he's such a good grappler, Timur I don't think is going to do well trying to poke away on the outside against Ilia. Razhabali is a bantamweight really, he's too small for ilia but I do expect him to get signed in the next year or so anyway.

 

[Hellowhosthat]

Okay, if you say so.

Would Belal beat Umalatov, Musaev, Amosov, Kuramagomedov and Rasulov with his eyes closed too?

Musaev would give him issues I think. I think he beats everyone else you mentioned with Yaroslav being the closest assuming he doesn't perform like he did against Jackson.

Rasulov is a weird one to throw in there lol

 

[TeenageMutantLesnarTurtle]

The UFC obviously has the highest concentration of talent, by far. But yeah, of course there are plenty of fighters in other orgs who could be top 10-15 level in the UFC.

Belal is the exception, the guys you listed probably beat him. But Belal is just a place holder champ at the moment.

If you have a look on ACA, you can find that place is a full of monsters league. When I see them fighting, almost look like fighting not between humans, but between beasts

Best white belt poste I've ever read in my life.

The answer is that the UFC marketing machine dominance has created a generation of the most low iq fans out of any sport. They don't love MMA, they love U FIGHT CHEAP. They've been groomed to think that fighters who fight in the UFC are automatically the best fighters in the world.

obviously almost no fighters start their career in the UFC of course they're from another org at some point, and the UFC will try (not always granted) to sign those top guys from those orgs
and also it's quite dishonest to consider them from ather org when they win but they're UFC fighter when they lose...why khamzat is a braveFC fighter but Whitaker is a UFC fighter? and not a ???(random org he started in) fighter? and when he knockout Aliskerov in a minute it's not UFC vs Brave FC anymore huh?

Khamzat has been in the UFC for 4 years at this point and has 8 UFC fights as opposed to the 4 he had in BRAVE.

He's a good sign that BRAVE is a good place to look for prospects who could be UFC ready, but it's silly for people to call him a BRAVE fighter.
