Rodriguez should be the frontrunner to get signed.

I'd like to see Arce get signed. He's a standout for Ring of Combat and i think he can hang with the the top 15-20 in the UFC FW Division.

Rodriguez and Perez were the no-brainer signings they destroyed their opponents in style. Arce was impressive in showing his resolve, adjusting in rd 2 and getting a great KO. Simon showed persistence but lacked diversity and confidence in his striking. Though I think a split wasn't justified and I gave him every round. I got bored watching the Graves fight. His unwillingness to put power on his punches in the second locked him out of the contract hunt. I gut frustrated watching Sims wrap the head instead of widening his stance and digging an underhook. Terrible performance from him he still has much to learn.

If someone does not get signed, do they get a second chance later on?

From what I have heard, the UFC does have a 30 day period where they can sign the fighter if they don't initially on the show.  Also they have brought back two fighters now to fight on the show again. Byrd and Joby Sanchez who I believe was just announced yesterday.
