Awesome to see Ivan Salaverry mentioned in this topic, he'd be my first pick too. Not only is he from Toronto, but he's an exciting fighter and he's finished Riggs and Fryklund in awesome fasion.

Ivan Salavery was entertaing. He'll never be back though. Wasn't being paid enough and signed with the IFL i believe. He went on record in an interview once saying how the UFC pays it's fighters shitty money, and he's making more now than he was with the UFC. So i don't think Dana White and Co. will ever offer him anything. Robbie was the shit! They should sign him back on so we can see Lawler/Diaz 2. Their fight is still one of my favorites

Gary Goodridge is getting his kicked in the K1. He won the Hawaï GP last year (can material, fun to watch though) but after that I believe he lost every fight, even in hero's. The guy refuses to learn how to block.

FRANK SHAMROCK
If Dana White kissed his ass half as much as he kisses tito "the *****" Ortiz's ass I have no doubt he would be back to make things a hell of a lot more interesting. Frank had one of the most awesome slam knockouts I have ever seen. not to mention what he did to tito........

Yea, that'll never happen. Sadly, Frank & Dana are 2 guys whose ego's are so large, that they'll never come to terms. People bring up Ortiz & Penn being brought back, but Frank is a different kind of beast. The kind of beast who wants way too much money and status, and Dana just doesn't see what's so great about him.
That said, I'd like to see Frank come back and have a few fun fights with Franklin or whoever, but I don't ever see it happening.

1. Frank Shamrock ( A great fighter who deserves all the spotlight and attention that others are getting.)
2. Paul Bontello ( Releasing him was stupid, and just made their HW division even weaker.)
3. Tank (Fights are entertaining, brings the slugfest factor.)
4. Wes Sims ( He's not that bad, and again, an addition to the weak HW division.)
5. Vitor Belfort (My favourite fighter. When the Phenom has his mind right he is incredible.)

Tank's ugly as shit, whoever wants tank back should just go to a bar because thats all tank is. He just got his ass kicked by buntello, and by ass kicked i mean ass raped. Tank's like royce gracie, hes super washed up and the only reason he won in the past was because people weren't well rounded.
Ivan's in seattle now he just opened up or is opening up his own fighting studio downtown. I've looked into joining it but since i live now 2 hours away in central washington i can't. Plus i heard he's got a bit of a temper issue and has had a few legal issues (just rumors).

Yeah I Liked & Like Lawler too. He could Throw em & Hit. I thought he was gonna take Diaz in their fight but Diaz got won that one. IMHO Lawler is always just a mistake away from winning more matches. I hope he resigns, BTW I Think?? he lost his first pride fight??
