Oh man, I forgot about Razor McCullough. I have waited so long to see him fight in the UFC. You have to love this move by Zuffa and White to bring in these fighters. The PPV buy rates for a Jackson/Liddell re-match with or without the belt will be off the charts, not to mention an insanely good fight. Herring is going to strengthen the heavyweight division too. Just imagine if Aleks and Mirko are brought in like rumored as well.
I'm kind of bummed that Mayhem hasn't been confirmed yet. I suspect his ICON contract has something to do with this. I would love to see him back in the UFC, as with Lindland, but he has already said he didn't have any fights remaining on his WFA contract. I wonder how they'll use Ivan Salaverry? He is a former UFC reject, interesting that they will bring him back. I have nothing but respect for Dana White. He is doing nothing but good for the UFC and MMA in general. Hopefully all the hate towards him dies down to a minimum from now on.
