Danzig says Japan's best not as good as UFC's

Mac Danzig always speaks his mind regardless of what the issue is and when asked about Japan’s best Lightweights against the UFC’s. He also said that there is no way their fighters should be ranked above the UFC’s. Danzig also said the reason many of the fighters choose to stay in Japan is because they can not pass Athletic commission’s performance enhancing policies.

Yahoo!Sports Steve Cofield spoke to Danzig about his Japanese counterparts and fighting in the US and here is what he said.

“There’s no athletic commission regulations, there’s no drug testing. Those guys, if they want to stop what they’re doing and test clean for the athletic commission, then they can fight (here)”

Danzig also said he finds it ridiculous that some of Dream’s top Lightweights are ranked above the UFC’s best.

“Things have changed now. UFC’s lightweight division is completely stacked. Going in and saying (Tatsuya) Kawajiri or Eddie Alvarez or any of these guys should be ranked higher than Gray Maynard, (Sean) Sherk and Tyson Griffin, and Kenny Florian, I don’t think that’s correct at all.”

FQ: Who has the better Lightweight division the UFC or Dream?
