Bring back fighters to their prime

[Rust Cohle]

If you were able to bring a fighter in his prime per weight division, which fighters would you bring? My list is:

Flyweight: None
Bantamweight: Cruz
Featherweight: Aldo
Lightweight: Pettis
Welterweight: Nick Diaz
Middleweight: Silva
Light Heavyweight: Machida
Heavyweight: Fedor

 

[Pequeño Corey]

Mostly the same. But I offer the following as an alternative. I know some of them are still good, but imagine if we could reset their chins?

FW: Frankie
LW: Alvarez
WW: GSP or Hughes
MW: Marquardt
LHW: Chuck, Shogun, Wand
HW: Timmy, JDS, Reem

Welterweight just Gimmi alves
Spider silva Duhh
Iceman Liddell at 205

I take it when you say in their "prime" you mean USADA would disappear.

 

[JayJayFrench]

 

[Rampage_Jackson]

I'd settle for Prime Fedor, Slampage and TRTor at HW, LHW and MW

HW - Fedor , Cain , JDS , Hunt , Arlovski , Lesnar.
LHW - Liddell , Ortiz , Frank Shamrock
MW - Anderson Silva , Rich Franklin

LW-bj penn to see if prime motivated BJ could actually hang with the top guys now

WW-nick diaz

MW-Anderson Silva ^see BJ reason

LHW-rampage

HW-fedor ^ see Silva and BJ. Also only if fedor stopped ducking the UFC. Otherwise I’d bring back prime Mir.

Wandy, Fedor, Saku, Shogun, Rampage... basically the whole Pride roster.

Would give anything for Nick Diaz to hit the gym instead of the bong. The fact that he is essentially retired at what 32-33 is frustrating beyond measure. Still, can't fault him for living whatever he deems the good life.
