The UFC’s Purchase Of The WFA Is Great News For MMA Fight Fans
I recently read that the Ultimate Fighting Championship has purchases the World Fighting Alliance. I think the (Ultimate Fighting Championship) is about to get a most welcomed shot in the arm, courtesy of the recent purchase. Let’s hope that the UFC decides to keep some of the top tier fighters in the WFA stable.
The World Fighting Alliance is a relatively new operation which has gained some noteriety by signing some big name fighters. These fighters include Ricco Rodriguez, Quintin Jackson and Bas Rutten. What’s worth noting about these fighters is that they’ve all had past success in the UFC or against UFC fighters.
Ricco Rodriguez is a former UFC heavyweight champion. Quintin Rampage Jackson fought and defeated Chuck Liddell in the Pride organization and not by submission as you might imagine. Rampage knocked Chuck (considered by many to be the best light heavyweight fighter in the world) out. Bas Rutten was an amazing fighter in his day and has recently had a comeback fight in which he looked exceedingly sharp.
The welterweight division of the UFC is in fairly good shape, by that I mean it’s deep with talent. There is a great champion in George St Pierre, probably the best welterweight in the world and a long list of good contenders, starting with former welterweight champion, Matt Hughes all the way down to contenders Diego Sanchez, Matt Serra, Josh Koscheck and several others.
The light heavyweight division also isn’t in bad shape with superstars, Chuck Liddell and Tito Ortiz who fight on December 30, 2006 as well as Forrest Griffin, Keith Jardine and Rashad Evans rounding out the top of the division. However, the WFA’s Quintin Rampage Jackson would for sure be a welcome addition to the mix.
A Rampage Jackson, Chuck Liddell rematch sometime in 2007 would likely be a grand draw due to the fact that Rampage TKO’d Chuck in their first meeting in the Japanese Pride organization. Even if a Rampage, Liddell rematch isn’t in the cards, Rampage’s style would make an outstanding match up with Tito Ortiz or Forrest Griffin.
