HW champ is former SF contender. LHW champ is former SF HW champ. MW champ is former SF champ. WW champ is former SF champ. LW champ is a UFC man. FW champ is a guy who took the world by shorm but took the belt from WEC champ. BW champ was the WEC champ. FlyW champ is a WEC fighter. The woman of course come from the other orgs before UFC brought them in. Don't get me wrong, UFC is the shit but when they absorb another org, they do just fine. Tonight Koreshkov dominated Bendo. I think he could be a threat at WW in the UFC. Thoughts?
 
Yus, it's quite clear now that the ufc is the best because people think it's the best. Isn't necessarily the case, of course it's the deepest talent pool, but they don't have all the best.
 
It's not fair to include the 145 and below or the women to prove your point since the UFC didn't have those divisions (pre UFC female/WEC days)

But Koreshkov looked like a motherfucker tonight, same with Page
 
The three letters UFC is worth the billion(S) not the fighters or fights. I remember reading an interview and Mr. Lorenzo was all "im paying 30 million for those three letters" when some colleague thought he was nuts. Mind share/image is everything.
 
" UFC has the best fighters of the world"

This comment wasn't right in the distant past ( Pride had better HW , LHW & LW division), in the recent past ( Stikerforce, WEC etc). Is not at the present ( Bellator, KSW, M-1 Global, One FC) or will be in the near future.

Just like Ivy league universities, MIT, Berkley California or Caltech don't have all the best minds of the world, the same is applicable for UFC.
 
Yeah, you pretty much covered it. I don't think it makes sense to include WEC guys or women in your argument, but the sentiment holds true regardless. There are top tier guys outside of the UFC, but the UFC maintains the highest concentration of top tier fighters.
 
I hope Bellator just keeps getting bigger and bigger. Better for us fans and definitely better for the fighters to be able to have some leverage
