Hi all, quick disclaimer: I'm aware that we already have a roster thread and have even included the following post in that thread. That being said, I'd like to feature this updated version, while also keeping it somewhat realistic of the
full roster that I'd kill to see for UFC 3.
Since there's no word on this game yet, I guess it doesnt hurt to fantasize so it's a large list (maybe 420-ish, including multiple-weight fighters). Some of them are quite recent as well, but I feel that they would still be crucial to include (an example I like to use is Borrachinha, for one). I did include some recently retired fighters who I couldn't bring myself to exclude, and even some bellator fighters who are still UFC legends.
Another reason I posted was to see who I may have forgotten, so if anyone would like to add I would gladly update it further, keeping a fairly up to date list. So, here it is:

full roster that I'd kill to see for UFC 3.

Some of them are quite recent as well, but I feel that they would still be crucial to include (an example I like to use is Borrachinha, for one). I did include some recently retired fighters who I couldn't bring myself to exclude, and even some bellator fighters who are still UFC legends.
