Great thread. It's just missing that something to make it perfect.....


Wait, I got it! It's missing something sexy:

Now, the thread is complete.

Soo Chul Kim is stuck in contracts with both ONE and ROAD and I'm not sure if he has fulfilled his military obligations yet. Yoon Jun Lee gets paid a lot more as ROAD's champ than he would even as a top 10 fighter in the UFC. I doubt either of them are in the UFC any time soon.

Dae Hwan Kim idk really, he hasn't been active lately and idk how many more fights or years he has left on his ONE contract.

Kwak I expect to be in the UFC for the next South Korea event, both PXC and TOP FC are big on sending guys to the UFC and Kwak has proven himself more than ready to make the jump.

I think Soo Chul Kim, Kwak, and Lee would all be top 20 BWs in the UFC immediately if signed though (assuming Lee's recent move to FW isn't permanent). I don't think any of them go to Bellator, just doesn't make sense for any of their careers.

Hope they don't go to Bellator either. Their bantamweight division is barely promoted and is on life support as it is
