Ok, I know the crap Dana said about Kang....my question HOW THE HELL ARE THESE FIGHTERS NOT BEING SOUGHT AFTER BY THE UFC?

Kang - A dominating Fighter, who i think would destroy alot of UFC MW's and eventually would be champion, good ground game, good TD defense and Can throw some dam hands.

Lil Nog - Still a top LHW ran into apparently a mean tough guy in Sok, really good boxing skills, good ground skills, would make UFC LHW that much harder (yea i know they have alot of guys, why not 1 more???)

Aoki - what needs to be said, the guy falls to the gound on bottom just to choke guys out. His BJJ and ground skills are 1 of the top in the game!!! WHY THE HELL IS DANA NOT PURSUING HIM? (if he is somewhere else sorry i didnt know)

Sokoudjou - WOW, I know maybe some say he is lucky, this is what I saw:
vs. Lil Nog - Lightning quick kicks and punches, also very powerful those kicks were loud.
vs. Arona - Lightning fast kicks again, good TD defense hopping away and once again quick powerful hands.
-He could come into the LHW and make serious serious waves, this is a fighter guys in the LHW need to watch out for I believe and has great camp with Hendo and Lindland.

also:
Barnett - Dana that was crap he said, the guy is a tough bastard with heart and really good ground skills and can stand and throw fists.

Hunt - If he still wants to fight....Guy is tough and can strike with the best (may be the best, including his hands, kicks and CONCRETE BLOCK HEAD)

What the hell is going on, I really feel the UFC could use: Barnett, Huny, Sok, Aoki and Kang the most....what you guys think?

Well I'm pretty sure Barnett won't sign because of his burned bridges with the UFC. And I heard that he doesn't want Kang for some reason.

Other than that I'm really not sure why he wouldn't sign the others.

Kang wants to fight in Korea with Spirit MC, which is in direct conflict with Dana's exclusive contract policy. But they've stated an interest.

Sokoudjou is another guy they've talked to. From what I understand he was going to EliteXC, but that fell through.

Lil Nog has been training for boxing, and that's taken up a lot of his time, so I'm not sure on that one.

They've got Hunt under contract, but his weight is a problem.

Barnett could still potentially sign with them, though his mouth isn't doing him any favors.

Aoki, like the rest of the Pride LW's are still in limbo. Rogan loves Aoki, so hopefully he puts in a good word. Outside of that trivial connection, no clue.

You are right on with this one!

Bringing more and better competition will make it better

Personally, I would take Anderson over Kang

[_ThRoWDoWn_]

i just hope they get aoki and lil nog

[smitty25er]

[smitty25er]

Wait, hunt is under contract? When did this happen?

[deathgrind]

lets hope Cuban picks them all up

[KingRick]

agreed.

I would love to see lil nog in the ufc, even arona, i dont see why we have fighters like bisping and hamill, but they dont want nog or arona?
