Banned individuals who will return to the UFC after the sale

[Not A Real Fan]

And assuming Dana is no longer involved.

It would be nice to see Randy Couture and Frank Shamrock on-air during broadcasts (obviously not as fighters). They deserve respect for being pioneers as opposed to the non-persons they are currently under the Zuffa regime.

Josh Gross and Loretta Hunt. Not because they were the greatest journalists or reporters but because the punishment was extreme. It's a wrong that needs to be righted. Maybe they could have been better but the ban stunted their career development.

Paul Daley? Wand?

Anybody else?

 

[GusLost]

Stitch?

 

[TheRuthlessOne]

Wand lol

Plz no

You're completely delusional if you think the new ownership would have any kind of respect for banned fighters, especially those who spoke out against the previous management. If the Chinese care about anything, it's the respect for authority. A Chinese who dares get out of line like Couture, Wanderlei and Gross did would have been arrested, tried and executed in China. Censorship is so hardcore these days that any discussion of the government is banned virtually everywhere, netizens basically have to resorting to typing "GM" in reference to "government", or risk getting censored and banned. This is nothing but pure fanboy fantasies.

Paul Daley is signed to Bellator and Wanderlei is with Rizin and going to be in their openweight GP.

They need to bring back the best in the business "Stitch" Duran. That was the dumbest banning ever, the guy is a legend and loved by all the fighters.

 

[Not A Real Fan]

Stitch?

And Burt.

 

[Coolidge]

Daley should've been back in the UFC years ago (when he was available, obviously).

 

[Not A Real Fan]

Wand lol

Plz no

Not as a fighter. Just on-air in the crowd during events.

 

[Davey Crockett]

Pat Barry will get that call back from Brock

 

[Not A Real Fan]

Well, obviously after they are no longer contractually bound elsewhere. Wand in the cage not so much.

 

[rurouni]

hopefully not the "lets bang bro" duo

 

[Polish Machine]

MMA will always live. If ufc disappeared today then all fighters would fight somewhere else, most likely bellator, making it the new #1 promotion. The show will go on.

I personally want a change. I've been watching this sport a long time and am sick of UFC's presentation and repetitive commentary.... "and the beautiful Arianny"

We love the fighters. They're not going anywhere. New owners will just shake things up a bit. We could see overseas tournaments. We could see fun freakshow fights. Pride style presentation. Crazy Pride screaming lady. Mix up the cage and ring depending on the event.

No more Bruce Buffer please.

 

[Caicara]

Toquinho!

 

[Wizzlebiz]

Toquinho!

Noquinho

 

[Andy Anderson]

 

[Clam]

Hell yeah I forgot about all the undesirables. Bring back Jake Shields!

 

[Pacemaker Joe]

Maybe Daley, Jason High, Fitch and Shields, can't think of anyone else. Most of the others screwed up repeatedly, or so badly, or they've faded due to age and milage that they won't be wanted back.
I don't think there's any way Fitch comes back without the Ali Act or something similar being in place though, too much bad blood.

Hunt and Gross should get credentialed.

Burt Watson and Stitch should never have been let go in the first place.

Chael as an analyst.

right.... cause the chinese always hold american values about certain individuals dear to their hearts...

if people who were dropped before could make them money, i highly doubt they would overlook their monetary potential because they slighted their american counterparts.

I want to see ken shamrock return. For one last fight at least. He deserves it.
