I wouldn't trust the UFC's list. They have a tendency to "pump up" the number of fighters in their stable who aren't actually under contract with them. For example, they'll list guys like Drew Fickett or Yves Edwards, who are no longer with the UFC. Some, like Edwards, haven't fought in the UFC for nearly two years, yet
have fought four times for other orgs over that time.
Also, the UFC has many fighters that they "use" (pun intended) for just one-fight deals. These are "filler" type fighters who come in as late replacements. The UFC may or may not post them on their site, but technically they're not UFC fighters. Similarly most new fighters have 3-fight deals that the UFC can cancel-out at their discretion, if the fighter doesn't win -- usually the UFC will give these fighters a second fight, but rarely a third if they're 0-2.
I put together a list of the more notable UFC fighters in each weight class here:
It's Time to Vote! FIGHT FORUM'S Official UFC Rankings Thread - February
While this list is far from comprehensive, it's hard to keep tabs on all of the UFC's fighters because the UFC signs and releases fighters all the time without the mma media catching wind of all of them.
EDIT: I just went to the UFC's site and here's another funny example of one of their fighters. They list Wander Braga even though he's never fought in the UFC and isn't currently scheduled to fight. He was suppose to fight one year ago, but was scratched due to visa problems, I believe.
