08:36 AM ET 03.09 | UFC's loss is World Series of Fighting's gain. At least that's how Ray Sefo sees it. With the UFC cutting fighters en masse, WSOF has no problem scooping up the best ones and signing them to contracts, the neophyte organization's president told The Post on Thursday. "There's so much talent out there that needs a spot like this," Sefo said. "Now all these fighters are gonna have a home. It seems like this was all meant to be." WSOF's most high-profile signing will be Jon Fitch. Sefo said Thursday that the deal was close and MMAFighting.com reported Friday that it is done. Fitch is one of the best welterweights in the world and boasted a 14-3-1 record with the UFC. He was cut for financial reasons and because the UFC is purging fighters to make room for Strikeforce holdovers and females for the new women's division.

It's always a good thing for fighters to have options, and the WSOF is giving a lot of these fighters a great home. Good for them, Ray Sefo deserves all the success in the world.
