    Who's the best MMA fighter not in the UFC?

    A couple of years ago I would have said Fedor as he is my favorite fighter of all time. Right now I think I would say Hector Lombard. How is this guy not in the UFC?? He's won 23 fights in a row and he fights at 185. I don't see how Dana isn't begging this guy to come to the UFC. Am I missing something here?

    I would say Ian Mccall.

    I agree about Lombard, though. Definately should be in the big league.

    I'd go with Gilbert Melendez or Josh Barnett. Both would be roughly a top 5 in their divisions.

    Kimbo Slice and maybe bring back James Toney also he had some real potential.

    I'm surprised everyone is sleeping on Uncle Creepy. I think that he will be in the top p4p discussion within two or three years time.

    I'm actually a fan of Kimbo. His striking is above average and his grappling might not be the worst in the UFC. His fights are usually fairly exciting.

    I wish they would bring back James Toney too... I think every Heavyweight should have to beat James Toney before they are OFFICIALLY allowed in the UFC.

    I also agree with what some other guys said about Melendez and Alvarez. Those guys are top notch. I'd be surprised if they're not in the UFC within the next year or two.

    Is it just me or do Strikeforce fighters lose a lot in the UFC?

    Maybe Gilbert Melendez and Cung Le can prove this wrong.

    I think I made an unfair conclusion I thought there was two fighters that were from Strikeforce. I doubled checked and it was just Jake Shields that I was talking about.

    Jake Shields losing to GSP and Jake Ellenberger.


    Also, good fighters that are not in the UFC are Gegard Mousasi and Eddie Alvarez.

    Lombard is good, but he is still unproven. He does have an impressive record but thats about where it ends, he hasn't really fought anyone worth mentioning. Would like to see where he ranks among the UFC fighters
