Lets cut the shit and hear it. What fighter have they not signed,that you see as the best choice they can possibly make (besides Fedor,of course!)

MM but they signed him already. Other than that, Id probably go with Pitbull, Nemkov or McKee.
 
In my probably a bit Russian biased opinion (leaving out fighters that have already been there)

1. Rustam Kerimov
2. Vitaly Minakov
3. Vladimir Mineev
4. Patricio Pitbull
5. Vadim Nemkov
6. Roberto Soldic
7. Douglas Lima
8. AJ McKee
9. Salahdine Parnasse
10. Yaroslav Amosov

Honourable mentions to Kai Asakura, Jack Cartwright, Magomed Ismailov (might have put him on if I didn't think he was so juicy.

I also made this list in like 5 minutes so I probably forget someone.

Pitbull (Patricio) imho.

Also, it's nvr gonna happen but I wouldn't mindif the UFC brought DJ back at some point now that 125 is starting to gain some traction.

I actually don't think MM re-signing is that much of a stretch. I think it's all on MM but 125 is more competitive now than it was when he left, I think it's probably more appealing for him in terms of new challengers that he can fight. He's still only 34 so who knows although MM doesn't strike me as someone who will be fighting at 40 either.

Whenever I've seen interviews with him he's been pretty clear that he has no plans to compete in the US again. I don't think it would happen unless ONE went under.

Interesting, did he give specific reasons why he wouldn't wanna compete in the US?

He said he was a weeb.






He actually said that he felt mistreated by the UFC and didn't like their business practices, which is fair enough.

I honestly think MM can make a lot more money outside of the UFC than as part of it, and I also don't think they parted in the best of terms.
 
Fighters who were in the UFC but not anymore:

1. Demetrious Johnson
2. Romero
3. Mousasi

And who weren't:

1. Vadim Nemkov
2. Patricio Pitbull
3. Roberto Soldic
