A while ago you could have looked at the rankings an other organisations combined might have matched the UFC, I just thought Id do a list of who isnt currently in the UFC now that SF is closed (Im guessing all the top SF guys are UFC bound)
Heavyweight: 0 top 10 figthers missing from the roster, a few top 20is guys in Alexander Volkov, Damian Grabowski, Andrei Arlovski, Kenny Garner, Sergei
Lightheavyweight: 0 top 10 fighters missing from the roster, top 20 we have King Mo, Rumble, Attila Vegh, Babalu and Jan Blachowicz at a stretch
Middleweight: 0 top 10 fighters missing from the roster, Mamed Khalidov just about outside the top 10, Thales Leites and Alexander Shlemenko are the only top 20 id say are missing.
Welterweight: 0 top 10 fighters missing from the roster, Askren is the only top 20 guys missing though Andrey Koreshkov will no probabally be top 20 this year.
Lightweight: 8/10 top 155ers, Michael Chandler and Eddie Alvarez are the 2 missing though Eddie is likely on his way. Rick Hawn and Aoki probabally the only 2 top 20 missing though Fightmatrix has 37 year old 8-2 Jadamba Narantungalag as top 20... never understood this.
Featherweight: 8/10 top 145ers, Crusher being the main one Daniel Straus is probabally fringer top 10 too. In the top 20 there are Rad Martinez, Marlon Sandro missing though Hiroyuki Takaya isnt far off.
Bantamweight: 6/10 top 135ers, Bibiano, Galvao, Nam, Dantas are missing. Infact they have only 9 out of the top 20 so far from a monoploy on 135lbs, saying that Vila is moving to Flyweight and Warren is back to 145 isnt he?
Flyweight: 7/10 top 125ers, Joshua Sampo, Antonio Banuelos, Atsushi Yamamoto missing, 13 of the top 20... supprisingly for the new weight class its a stronger devision that Bantamweight.
If these Strikefoce guys all move over as expected UFC are far closer than ever to having a monoploy on the sport. Only 11 of the top 80 fighters across the weight classes are currently outside the UFC, Just about 1 per weight class... scary though.
