Just got home from work and I'm glad to see this thread still going. . . .Of course I'd love to see all the retired fighters come back for another. What do you guys think about Mark Kerr?Coleman? Tank Abbott? Paul Buentello? Maurice Smith? Kimo?
We need more Arlovski aswell. . . .

Not sure if the rumors are still in the works or not but supposedly Tank is going to fight Kimbo. Kimbo called him out after he won his first MMA event and Tank was more than happy to oblige, as you can imagine. I think that'll be a slugfest. Not exactly one of skill, but the two will duke it out. Kimbo doesn't really get tired that easily, though.. and of course Tank gasses quick.

Not gonna argue whether or not Kimbo is quality in this thread, but I think Tank (Although to alot of old school MMA fans, he is a god) Don't stand a chance. But I always did love the classification of his Martial arts. . . . .Pitfighter. LMFAO used to love that game on Sega I believe.

Haha, yeah I used to go play that one at the 1.50 movie theater all the time! Tank was a beast in the early days.

Got to agree with Igor. He was rumored to be slated for the last ADCC but he never came.
I'm going to throw one out there that will likely get me flamed, but here goes: RICKSON
The confidence in his face, his calmness during the fight, his technique (granted it was before people learned sub defense) It too bad more of his legendary NHB fights in Brazil back in the day weren't caught on film, or better quality. (not all 400, of course
)
We'll probably never know why he didn't fight Saku. Greed, fear, arrogance, the death of his son, who knows. All have been debated and argued to exhaustion.
For me, it was the greatest fight that never happened, even if Wandy/Chuck never happens.

I gotta go with Vitor. The first time I saw him fight was when he destroyed Tank Abbott and then I watched more of his fights. He was probably the reason I got really into MMA.

Ken Shamrock in his prime he kicked ass he could handle himself standing up than you would get him to the ground and he would roll with you till he got his signature ankle lock on you he had some major wins in his day

I know this thread has been dead a few days but I just looked back ver it and Kicked myself for forgetting Murilo Bustamante. I remember Watching all of his fight and being not only Entertained and Excited, but absolutely mesmerized by Murilo's skill. It's like Watching Sakuraba or Rumina Sato, win or lose you're always on the edge of your seat paying full attention and waiting to see what they'll do next to make your jaw hit the floor.
