Rampage jumped. He signed before the UFC bought Pride.
But, that's my point. Fighters don't jump orgs for comp they do it for money. Penn left the UFC over money, same with every other fighter you mentioned as MMA in Japan was much bigger than the US at the time. So the constant shuffling of fighters from org to org doesn't really help big fights get made.
The only fighter I've seen jump to make a big fight is Rampage for Liddell, and Arlovski for Fedor. Randy tried but couldn't get out.
i think we're not on the same page.
i didn't say they jump to fight better comp only that fighters eventually meet up with guys in the other orgs because they jump.
