A new middleweight signing and a new lightweight signing as two of the world's premiere UFC feeder leagues provide another pair of fighters for the big show. And, Wilson Reis gets another last minute opponent for UFC 201.
If you're looking for the next generation of UFC talent, there are a couple of key promotions to pay attention to. Legacy FC and RFA are notable, not just as strong regional hotbeds for MMA, but for being surefire gateways to the big leagues. The latest couple of fighters to make the jump are J.C. Cottrell and Joe Gigliotti. Cottrell is stepping up to the plate on extremely short notice to fight Michel Prazeres this weekend at UFC on Fox 20.
