Re: Roger Huerta Likely Signing With Strikeforce
I think probably the guys who benefit most are the mid-Tier guys. Scott Smith obviously would not make $55K in the UFC. Neither would Shamrock, but he is just riding his name.
However, it's hard to say what Mousasi is making and what he would be making. (Wasn't his official pay $2,000 for his last fight?) I think the UFC would be willing to pay for him and would probably pay him more than SF.
As for Cung Le, before he got KOd by Smith and was still undefeated, I could see the UFC paying $100K+ for him.
I wouldn't say 99%. Fedor, Mousasi, Melendez, Thomson, Shields, Overeem, Rogers, Werdum, King Mo, Diaz, Hendo, Lawler, Manhoef (now officially on the Strikeforce roster), Miller, Jacare, Zaromskis (now officially on the Strikeforce roster), and potentially T-Wood, Ishida, and Luke Rockhold would all fit in very well in the UFC and are much better fighters than a lot of the guys the UFC already has signed.
