It just goes to show you how shallow the talent pool still is in mma. Dana is desperate to find contenders. Pride was out of HW contenders too. The only guy left was Barnett.

I don't see why that makes the talent pool low in MMA. Boxing is the same Wlad is fighting Rahman?!?
Vitali comes out of retirement to fight and win champ.
Who was Pavlik gonna fight if not Bhop?

The talent pool ebbs and flows in different weight classes. Both boxing and MMA. Lighter weights have tons of good matchups. It's not sport specific.
