Question

Are better fighters in ufc? or mma? why?

Answer 1

They're the same thing. UFC is an MMA league.(Mixed Martial Arts)

Answer 2

As many have pointed out the UFC is an organization of MMA. Much like the NFL is football. UFC is MMA. The question as to are there better fighters in the UFC... which is what I think your really asking. Yes and No. The UFC has a high level of talent that are elite with there particular weight class. As of right now, Affliction (another organization in MMA) has the majority of elite Heavyweight fighters. There are always elite fighters that are not under the UFC or Affliction Orgs but the majority of elite fighters are with these two Orgs.

Answer 3

I was going to say whats the difference but people already said it =p

Answer 4

UFC is one of many (and is the most prominent) mma organizations.

they are all under the banner of "mma" however.

like for example you have the overall banner of "karate"

then you have ...goju ryu karate, uechi ryu karate, shotokan karate, kyokushinkai karate, wado ryu karate, shudo kan karate, shorin ryu karate...etc etc.

Answer 5

Please rephrase your question as UFC is mma.  Use the edit  option to specify your meaning.

In general, the UFC does have better fighters than the other mma organizations.

Answer 6

Work on your grammar my friend.

Your question is similar to something like this:

Which has better players, basketball or the NBA?

UFC is an MMA organization, and MMA is the sport.

Answer 7

UFC

Elite XC

DREAM

CAGE RAGE

AFFLICTION

STRIKEFORCE

WORLD VICTORY ROAD/SENGOKU

ADRENALINE

ICON SPORT

These are all Mixed Martial Art (MMA) Organizations that each have a roster of fighters.  Overall the UFC has the deepest talent pool and the largest total pool with right about 250 fighters under contract (that # is starting to get closer to 200)  There is top talent outside of the UFC especially in the Heavy Weight and Featherweight  divisions WEC is another org owned by Zuffa or the UFC owners if you will and has a feather weight division but there are no FW in UFC.

The UFC has the best Light Heavy weight, Welter Weight, and Lightweight divisions around, the Middle Weight is probably the top as well (definetly has the best middleweight in Andeson Silva) but is a little bit thin right now.  The UFC HW is thin but there are some great talents being developed in Cain Velazquez, Brock Lesnar, Shane Carwin and ther is also Antonio Rodrigo Nogueria who is probably the #2 HW on the Planet behind Fedor Emelianenko who fights in Affliction and M-1 Global.

So yes the UFC has the deepest pool of talent out of all the Organizations at this time, but the other orgs are beginning to work together and fighters are leaving UFC to have control of their careers, so in the future we may see things even out between the Orgs.

Hope this helps.
