There are 619 active fighters on the UFC roster at the time of writing, although as we know this frequently changes due to signings and releases. On average, UFC fighters compete at least twice a year, sometimes more and sometimes less (depending on injuries, pandemic’s etc). What’s interesting is how many well-known names, former top 10 fighters and well-established names we haven’t seen in many years. We take a look at the top five fighters we haven’t seen who need to make a return and hint at who they could face on their comeback.
1- Gunnar Nelson
Gunnar Nelson broke onto the scene at welterweight in 2012.
