Where would the fighters be w/o Zuffa
Since MMA didn't really exist in the main stream until Zuffa bought the UFC, where do you guys think your most hated and or popular fighters in America would be right now if Zuffa hadn't purchased the UFC. Keep in mind that many of the latest crop of fighters had never seen or heard of Pride or Pancrase.
I'll start:
Kenny Florian may be a Boston pizza delivery driver or a copy machine repairman.
Brian Stann would still be a Marine.
Houston Alexander would be fighting in prison somewhere and still getting KTFO.
Gina Carano would be in porn... and we'd all be happy for that

Houston wouldn't be in prison, he's a good guy, as much as he sucks as a fighter
GSP would be teaching people the nipple tweaking technique at conventions around the world

Royce and his family would still be regarded in the US as the best "fighters" in the world and you could only train with them if you were uber rich or the Hollywood elite because they would be charging $1,000/hr.... No disrespect to the Gracie's...
