Which current fighter that is fighting outside the UFC do you want Dana to acquire?

[Takes Two To Tango]

For me it's Usman Nurmagomedov.

 

[CobraCobretti]

Patchy Mix and Dakota Ditcheva

 

[Croton]

Oumar Reug Reug Kane

 

[The Big Babou]

Hughes

... I'm all for a new Irish star

 

[swarrrm]

Ngannou

 

[TempleoftheDog]

Dakota..

It’s a no-brainer, imo.

 

[Shaolin Alan]

He won't, because he's Team Fedor; but this should have happened years ago!!‍

[dogsdonutsdragons]

to be honest anyone that is considered a champion in another org. i am following other orgs and they have legitimate talent that either rarely fights or fights a bunch of easy matches every few fights. i want it all under one roof. one premier league and thats all that matters. where the best fight the best. none of this bellator pfl strikeforce crap that in the end had no meaning except i wonder how so and so would have done in the ufc.

 

[TankAbbott4Eva]

Love to see Nemkov in the UFC

 

[Eric Silva 2.0]

For me it's Usman Nurmagomedov.

I think there is more than 1.

Usman
Hughes
Eblen
Nemkov
Dakota

Usman and Hughes are top 5 guys in the UFC right now and the rest beat the current champions IMO.

Great choices.

 

[Hellowhosthat]

No doubt in my mind he'd tool Usman or Hughes.

 

[Hellowhosthat]

If I was being a nerd (which I'm going to be) and doing a ranking and only going with people who've never fought in the UFC before I'll go.

1. Eduard Vartanyan
2. Salahdine Parnasse
3. Dakota Ditcheva
4. Razhabali Shaydullaev
5. Vladimir Mineev (if he’d be active)
6. Losene Keita
7. Shamil Musaev
8. Vadim Nemkov
9. Islam Omarov
10. Chihiro Suzuki

 

[Koala]

I will bring:
125 - The deaf Dagestani who beat Pantoja in the past
135 - Patchy Mix
145 - Parnasse
170 - Musaev
205 - Nemkov
Women - Ditcheva

 

[Striker Fox]

Ngannou vs Aspinall needs to happen

LHW needs Nemkov if he's still willing to make weight

LW needs Usman for when Islam leaves

 

[Takes Two To Tango]

No doubt in my mind he'd tool Usman or Hughes.

Call me a casual (Which I'll admit I am), but who is that?

Eduard Vartanyan, imo the lightweight with the best style to give Islam a run for his money.

 

[Striker Fox]

No doubt in my mind he'd tool Usman or Hughes.

He's almost 34 tho, 7 years older than Usman

 

[Lawrence]

Dakota..

It’s a no-brainer, imo.

She seems to have a ton of media momentum right now.

It's hard to understand why the UFC has not scooped her up or bought out her current contract.

Seems like she would move the needle in the UFC right now...

But maybe I'm a little too much on the hype-train.

That chick is violent and her highlight reel has me sold.

She’s locked in with PFL for one more season. That’s my understanding (but don’t quote me on that).

And PFL just cut the $Million prize down to $500K.

I figure the UFC gets her sooner rather than later.

In early 2026, at the latest.
