If the UFC had dual meets based on Nationality, which country would win?

I made the same post a few years back https://www.reddit.com/r/MMA/s/lxf6YOMKDk and was interested in seeing how opinions would change. I think if all MMA promotions were included, Russia would win handily. Just within the UFC though, as much as I think they’d still win given how good their best fighters are, it’d be a lot closer. I also left out Women from the lineups. I’d say if you add them in, it would definitely favor USA and Brazil. Assuming everyone has to stick to their current weight classes, I think the top 3 countries would go with a lineup of: Russia 125- Tagir Ulanbekov 135- Petr Yan/Umar 145- Movsar Evloev 155- Islam Makhachev 170- Rinat? 185- Khamzat 205- Magomed Ankalaev 265- Volkov/Pavlovich Brazil 125- Alexandre Pantoja 135- Deiveson Figueiredo 145- Diego Lopes/Jean Silva 155- Charles Oliveira 170- Carlos Prates/Gilbert Burns 185- Caio Borralho 205- Alex Pereira 265- Jailton Almeida USA 125- Brandon Royval 135- Sean O’Malley 145- Max Holloway 155- Gaethje/Poirier 170- Belal Muhammad 185- Sean Strickland 205- Hill/Rountree/Reyes 265- Jon Jones If Australia and New Zealand teamed up, they could also put up a really good fight and would arguably beat all those countries. They match up really well with the other three countries are really well rounded: Australia/New Zealand 125- Steve Erceg/Kai Kara France 135- Cody Haddon? 145- Alex Volkanovski 155- Dan Hooker 170- Jack Della Maddalena 185- Robert Whittaker 205- Carlos Ulberg 265- Tai Tuivasa It would also be interesting to see the lineup that Mexico and England could put together. They are top heavy and have top contenders/champs/former champs in multiple weight classes, but I don’t think they’d have the overall depth to keep up with some of these other countries. Who do you guys think would win? Would you change any of the lineups? Thought this was pretty fun to write up/think about submitted by /u/Loyoung [link] [comments]
