Might as well have everyone back from Bellator and SF who isn't under a champion claus(Cormier atm)
UFC can't buy all their talent anymore. Bellator is too big, WSOF is too...well i wont go there. But they bought a lot of fighters from SF & WEC. Their talent pool won't run dry, but they'll need to scout and discover more fighters to keep the hype train chugging along

The UFC's biggest problem is Viacom funding Bellator. The UFC has had their way with buying up promotions that threatened them. Good luck buying Bellator. The UFC is going to have to actually compete now...something they've never had to do in the past.

And under new management who are doing their best Titanic impression with running the fight business

Bellator has a good brand because like all other professional sports, it is available on tv, not ppv (I know they have had 2 ppvs). With this advantage they can grow faster if marketed correctly since more random eyes have the opportunity to see their top tier talent.
