You Mean There Are Talented Fighters Outside the UFC?
Last night's Ultimate Fighter Finale included reference to Shinya Aoki, Bas Rutten and Kevin Randleman from Joe Rogan, while Dana White admitted to targeting Vitor Belfort as a challenger for Anderson Silva.
After years of pretending no one else existed in the world of Mixed Martial Arts, is the UFC finally starting to recognize the talent operating outside of their own walls?

I like Joe, but...
..calling Nick Diaz Top 10 p4p= Insanity
And for the most part all the best fighters are in the UFC.
I Did Forget the Nick Diaz References...
You’re totally right Dave – Rogan was on his dick for the whole first round… and NO, he’s isn’t Top 10 P4P…
Lewish: I don’t know that I can agree with you about all the best fighters being in the UFC for the most part. The top 2 heavyweights (Fedor, Barnett) certainly are not, same for some outstanding lightweights (Aoki, Alvarez, Hansen, JZ) and some quality guys in between (Kawajiri, Jake Shields, Nick Diaz, Mousasi, Belfort).
Stacked up against other organizations, the UFC has the best all-around rosters, but there are a lot of high quality fighters operating outside of the UFC umbrella…
