Was thinking about these weights and wondering who were the best guys out there that used to fight in the UFC and don't any more or haven't got their shot yet. Any ideas?
205: Babalu
185: Santiago
Mousasi is also a strong candidate for either class depending on where he decides to fight in the future.
185 - Jorge Santiago, Ronaldo Jacare, Robbie Lawler, Kazuo Misaki, Jason Mayhem Miller
205 - Gegard Mousasi, Renato Babalu, Rafael Feijao, King Mo Lawal, Antonio Rogerio Nogueira, Vladdy Matyushenko
Let's not forget Vitor!!
Also Trigg and Scott Smith at MW.
I know Smith has lost a bunch, but I think back-to-back KOs of Martin and Radach are enough to put him in the conversation.
Vitor, Tito
I don't think Santiago or Smith would make it in the UFC. They had their shot and couldn't cut it. All their wins outside the UFC show is that the competition is easier. At 205, I think Lil Nog, Feijao and Babulu are tough to beat. At 185, I think Mousasi would take the nod.
185- Mayhem, Lawler, Lindland Vitor205-Arona, Lil Nog, Babalu, Tito
Joe Doerksen always brings it!
Trevor Prangley
2 best i'd say are vitor - 185 and feijao - 205... with lawler and santiago close behind at 185.
