I wouldn't be shocked if Igor did get coaxed back into fighting. I don't think he ever wanted to leave, he just got beat badly by Shamrock (and got injured pretty badly) and decided not to anymore.

He's competed in Sambo since then, but he hasn't been the same. That said, I'd like to see him fight Carlos Newton or Ken Yasuda, or one of the less famous coaches as a co-main event before we start seeing him fight big names.

I'd love to see Ken Shamrock vs. Don Frye, but, unfortunately, I don't think that will happen. I don't think Frye will, or ever should, fight again.

I'd also love to see Ian Freeman and Mario Sperry fight, since their the two new coaches, though they won't fight each other.

My suggestion for the big coach superfight to start 'o8 is that they should do a big double main event (partially because this will help them get some attention, too):

Maurice Smith vs. Ian Freeman
Mario Sperry vs. Marco Ruas

I'd watch this event, and I think alot of long time hardcore fight fans would watch it too. Any thoughts?
