My best friend has been incarcerated for too long but is ready to be released, long story short he is brutal. So basically he is a HW and a little older than Couture thus the conventional part of this is non existant but I believe he could easily take out anyone UFC has to offer, so is UFC open to an exihibition fight with anyone of their choosing or do they go the structured way? -------------------- Team Bass Coat MTX MAXXSONICS Pioneer Bruce Dressel In loving memory of my sister Kerry Ann Johnson 1970 - 2008 The only true constant in the universe is change

UFC is very iffy when it comes to criminal backgrounds... (mine was the reason for being disqualified from TUF2 recruitment). They can take anyone in that they want but they tend to recruit ppl with real skills and accomplishments not backyard brawling. Most ppl have to pay their dues in smaller orgs before they get "called up" to the big show. what makes you think your friend can take out anyone ufc has to offer? -------------------- Team Devastation MMA Machado Brazilian Jiujitsu Once I lock it on theres no escape I dont train to make you tap, I train to tear your arm, leg, or head off.

Believe me he has unreal skills unfortunantly he made some bad decisions in the past so he doesn't fit well into "normal society" All bs aside he is an extremly dangerous person who would not fit the stereotypical UFC big dog role I'm not too sure if this is what UFC wants as he wouldn't fit their "tv image" cuz he's very crude but very effective. -------------------- Team Bass Coat MTX MAXXSONICS Pioneer Bruce Dressel In loving memory of my sister Kerry Ann Johnson 1970 - 2008 The only true constant in the universe is change

You need to establish yourself as a fighter first you cant just be in the UFC with no fight experience. He should start w amatuer shows or try and get some footage doing something impressive and try and get into a smaller show. --------------------So tell me is there any tread left on the tires at all? Or at this point is it like throwing a hotdog down a hallway? - Stewie

A backyard brawler stands little chance against a trained MMA fighter. Kimbo < Gannon < Hinkle... The UFC does checkup on standout fighters from smaller orgs though, but you gotta be pretty good. UFC 57's fight between Aldana and Buentello was a good example.
