Okay, so I've been getting many of the old UFC events on DVD from Netflix and something has come to my attention and I was wondering if anybody here knew the answer. How do people get into the UFC? Are there agents that the UFC sends to different MMA competitions? Do fighters that come out of certain camps, such as Militech, get almost a guarentee to be in the UFC?
I ask this, because I've noticed that in the lighter divisions (mainly lightweight) the fighters will be making their UFC debut but they will have 40+ MMA fights under their belt, whereas in that same event Chuck Liddell was in a fight and he only had about 15 fights under his belt.
So how do they determine who is going to be in the UFC? Is it similar to pro-wrestling in the sense that they are looking for charismatic fighters? Please help me understand!
