Sick. You gonna go? Im gonna wait for UFC Den Haag, and I'll pop by.

Edit: and okay, well thats one of the hurdles for Felder. Now all he has to do is generate a massive following in Ireland in advance of this event and he's good to go!
He's the Irish Dragon bro. They gonna go balls out crazy for him.
 
Says a lot about how much these guys fight ‘hurt.’ They start feeling good, then they are ready to fight again. Same with the NFL off-season…’never again..’. 4 months later..’Ready to rock!’
 
Voted no because I don’t think there’s anything good waiting for him if he returns. Likely just damage and more losses. I get he probably has a competitive itch that needs scratching. But can’t see it going as well as he would want it too
 
he's never going to get the ovation that zombie did. this almost never happens to american fighters. even when fighting at home

sexyama went 4-6 in the UFC, is japanese, and was a star on a korean television show recently. just to put things into perspective.

felder also doesn't have a badass walkout song.
 
With the right matchup, sure.

Felder is obv in great shape, given his post-MMA endeavours...and it's not like he was getting completely outclassed or KTFO to close out his career. If he wants to taste that feeling one more time, then just make it an appropriate matchup with a fellow vet, IMHO.
 
He lost a few close fights, I don't see the big deal if he wants to return. Maybe it would give Jim Miller someone for UFC 300.
 
Maybe against a striker … hooker maybe

seems unnecessary though
He got taken down by Edson Barboza. And he went to full guard.
And the rare fighter who lost to Mike Perry.

And yet I voted yes. He's the meat and potatoes all heart guy. A little bit of a throw back (Forest Griffin/Rich Franklin)?
 
If he wants to do it, he should. Time ain't gonna wait.
 
Do it. This is how MMA goes. They need to create a division like the master's division. Must be boring af, commentating on 90% worthless feeder matches, at the Apex, with Jon Anik, listening to Bisping/Cruz constantly bicker or try to get the one up, thinking about Laura Sanko. As long as they give him the right match ups, do it. It only helps the UFC.
 
Doesn't seem like a great idea at this juncture in his career. He's already got that signature win over Oliveira before he leveled up in a huge way (i.e. Struve over Stipe, Martins over Islam, Pickett over DJ.) If he insists on trying to go out on a win, give him someone like Jesse Butler.
 
I missed his wars in the octagon

but no, let’s keep that brain and speech intact
