Hopefully Vitor Belfort will be making his way back into the UFC. That guy is an absoloute monster, Dana wants to bring him back to face Anderson Silva for the title.
I would love to see Andrei Arlovski back in the UFC as he is my favourite fighter, although he has had Freddie Roach as his striking coach while he been in Affliction. Andrei wants to try his hand at boxing, and with his having arguably the best boxing coach in the world working with him I think he could do well. He has the Speed and power to be a good boxer, with his only let down is that his chin is a little suspect. Imo that's his only downfall in MMA and could well be the same in boxing.
Arlovski has a glass chin. He is not going to last very long in pro boxing ranks.

[quote="KiAiSiAiSuId"]Arlovski was awesome when he was on top of his game..... I really hope UFC 100 is on Live over here.
Dana said that they are working on getting it shown in the UK however this could mean back on Bravo (who cut it and show it a day late), or Virgin1.
I hope this isn't the case....
Lesnar was at 285 the other day, that man is a monster.[/quote

I submit to you that if a man hasn't discovered something that he will die for, he isn't fit to live.

He is pretty scary. Those ham-hocks he has for fists are ridiculously large. Catch one of them clean and you're in big trouble. Surely he will have trained alot of BJJ for the fight with Mir, so shouldn't get tapped so easily. That said, Mir is a genius on the ground. Really looking forward to this next event.

Mir is one of the best ground fighters in the UFC, second only really to Damian Maia.

And Thales Leites. And Noguiera. And Gonzaga. And Ricardo Almeida. And BJ Penn.
Mir isn't really an elite black belt. He's a black belt, but that's about it. He's only just top 3 jiu jitsu in the HW division and that's because Werdum has left.
He's pretty well rounded but certainly not the wizard on the ground that he's being hyped up to be. I don't think he will submit Brock again, given that he's supposed to be a purple belt now. That said, if Mir strikes like he did against Nog, it will be a very interesting fight.

In the HW division, I'd say Noguiera us a better submission specialist than Mir. The UFC need to bring back top HW's seeing as they have lost some top talent. HW division is argably the weakest division in the UFC roster. LHW is the best I would imagine.
