MMA DIVE's video: Which Year Had The BIGGEST UFC Debuts

Which single year in the UFC’s history saw the most iconic fighters join the roster? For this video we’re going to take a dive into every single year since the promotion’s beginnings and mention a few roster additions that stood out, either for their accomplishments in the octagon or just because they were pretty memorable. I want to know which year, between 1993 and the present has produced the most memorable signings - so be sure to let me know your outright pick or even a top-5 in the comment section below. Anyway, let’s get into it! Zuffa Ultimate Fighting Championship for The Ultimate Fighter History of Chuck Liddell and Brazillian Jiu Jitsu.
