A lot of these guys they're signing are too green to the be in the UFC. I feel like the standard has really lowered as of late.

Not sure if trolling. Every single person who got a contract last night belongs in the UFC.

Bilder: 7-0 CFFC champ
Dudakova: 6-0 OFC champ (plus 6-0 as amateur)
Rebecki: 16-1 FEN champ
Dumas: 7-0
Kinoshita: 7-1 (lone loss a DQ where he KO'ed his opponent with legal strikes, plus 5-0 as amateur)

In what universe are any of these fighters not UFC ready?

Compare those fighters to some of the fighters making their UFC debuts this Saturday that didn't go through the contender series:

https://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Abusupiyan-Magomedov-60755

Are you seriously suggesting the DWCS fighters are obviously lower level than these fighters?

I don't think Bilder is going to be that special. I could see him going 1-3 all as a prelim curtain jerker and being released. I think Rebecki is going to do well with the lower tier UFC fighters because of his strength and grappling ability, but he'll struggle as he rises up the ranks a bit because of how small he is and how wild, hittable and inefficient he is on the feet. Dudakova is big and strong with some good wrestling and grappling, she should do well if she's brought on slowly. Dumas and Kinoshida are both future top 10 minimum fighters unless something goes horribly wrong, they're both already very skilled and have a ton of upside.

Just watched the episode. Everyone deserved the contract except for the girl. The Japanese guy was a maybe in my books

I get where your coming from for sure. That 3rd rd finish was nice but he's not the most well rounded and will be at a size/reach disadvantage for a lot of fights plus he dosnt exactly have a ton of experience. Will be rooting for him though, I like his aggressive style and at his age he could have a relatively bright future in the sport.

Let's face it, him being Japanese helped him get the contract

UFC is definitely in want of young Japanese talent but he didn't need any favoritism Tuesday night, still a solid 3rd rd finish and was a good sign.
