Barnett may have the skills to be considered top 10, but I bet you he wants in the UFC like a fat kid wants cake. It would certainly be a comeback for his career.

And no I do not think it is likely they could get Fedor, but the question in the thread is "who would you want in it?". This is who I would want in it.






I'm sure no one would complain if they got Fedor on the show. You really think they would decide against doing a show with Fedor just because he was never in the UFC?



I like it.

It's called "comeback" for a reason. If we are jut going to ignore the entire point of the show and what it means then why not just throw names out like Aoki, Mousasi, Crusher, Chandler, Curran, Shlemenko, Askren ect...

Fedor wouldn't sign a huge contract and fight for the belt. Why would you think he would be all excited to sign up for a reality series show? You really think Fedor would do reality TV? Not in a million years.

The other guys are a little more likely. But again they make decent money fighting main events on small shows. They aren't going to subject themselves to living in a house for months and doing reality TV.

The thought of the mystique of Fedor being on an FX reality series on a Friday night makes me chuckle. Fedor and reality TV doesn't seem to go hand in hand.
