UFC unveils partial list of Strikeforce fighters moving over

[Dickson Gracie]

Right because deep and stacked are total opposites...thx for clarifying that

When you have 6 good fighters in a division, and you add 3 more it's certainly deeper. Even with the new fighters, MW isn't as deep as LW or WW.

Hope they sign estavan payan and quinn mulhern

 

[used2wrestle]

I was hoping kyle would get in

He said he was retiring after the Mousasi fight.

 

[Quilled Mind]

Testing positive in the past or not, the fact that they might not sign Barnett or Feijao instantly speaks poorly for the UFC. Thank goodness they are considering Gegard finally.

Obviously I don't know this for sure, but I expect they're waiting for Feijao to get off his suspension before making a move. I really don't know about Barnett, if he fights in the UFC he's taking a pay cut - that might be the hold up. Both of those seem exceedingly reasonable.

Here is what I think it will happen to the remaining Strikeforce guys.

UFC will later take:

Rafael Cavalcante
Ovince St. Preux
Tyron Woodley

Bellator will take guys that don't ask for a big paycheck:

Adlan Amagov
Scott Smith
Quinn Mulhern
Tyler Stinson
Justin Wilcox
Estevan Payan
Jorge Masvidal
Isaac Vallie-Flagg

Guys that are at the end of their career might go to Japan or OneFC for one or two fights:

Josh Barnett
Mike Kyle
Keith Jardine
Robbie Lawler
Danillo Villefort
Jorge Gurgel
Bobby Green
Billy Evangelista

Woodley, Bobby Green, Robbie Lawler, and Vallie-Flagg are already scheduled for UFC fights.

Also, Anthony Smith has signed a UFC contract. It's just an incomplete list.

 

[CarloSpcyWeiner]

We need Mike Kyle

 

[jonvoight's car]

Do you see any future champions on this list?

 

[justblaze717]

How so?
Jacare and Rockhold all of the sudden make the division stacked?
Larkin has a chance to improve his stock but Gracie and Kennedy aren't going anywhere imo.
So 3 guys all of the sudden makes the mw division stacked? I don't think so

Did I say it was stacked?

 

[MarloStanfield]

Manhoef?

 

[dumykount]

Monhoef is not with strikforce. His last strikeforce bout was in March 2011, he has since fought 4 times in the year 2012 for two different companies in japan and canceled a fight for ksw in poland.

glad to see all those guys making the leap
