At least Chandler has a track record of beating solid folks I love them both, though Counter-question: Better bantam not in the UFC, Moraes, Bibi or Dudu?

I could see them throwing money at Michael Chandler the moment he has a sniff of free agency. Toss him into the mix with McGregor, Khabib, and Ferguson.

Has the UFC ever let someone go to see them go become a big money-making star for another organization, AND have that other organization not go bankrupt as a result of overpayment? Phil Davis might be the closest thing, or perhaps Nick Diaz.

The WEC proved that the top tier fighters in lower weight classes weren't purely all in the UFC, along with others in Strikeforce's middleweight and heavyweight divisions. But Bellator just isn't there for the most part. It's not a knock, just the reality of the situation. There's a handful. But it's not the same.

It's right, but if you're someone who the UFC see the value in, they're going to do enough to keep you on their books. Them allowing you to leave isn't that much different from them cutting you.

Bellator and, previously, Strikeforce, were competing with the UFC for fighters, so the better fighters went to the company that was willing and able to pay more, which was usually the UFC. So you got the situation we had and have, where the top three guys in Bellator and Strikeforce would be somewhere in the top 10 in the UFC but rarely the top 3, and the rest of the Bellator/Strikeforce guys are nowhere close. WEC was different because it was Zuffa owned and therefore not competing for fighters - if you were a lightweight who got signed by Zuffa, whether you wound up in WEC or UFC was largely down to which one had openings at the time, and you got paid about the same either way. So the top guys in the WEC 155 and UFC 155 were largely interchangeable.

Josuke Higashikata posted:Them allowing you to leave isn't that much different from them cutting you. That is just not correct though. Cut is cut, it means "we aren't even interested in paying you 10/10 to fight on fightpass, go away" The UFC would have been happy to keep Henderson, he is still a draw, but they were not willing to overpay as much as Bellator.

the best thing about early zuffa wec was that 205 had been consolidated in the ufc for years so they had to find guys to challenge doug marshall so you'd get some anonymous cuban guy turn up, get armbarred, test positive for steroids, and disappear off the face of the earth. and guys had cool names like rich crunkilton
