Default Which fighter would you like to see make a come back?

I would like to see Bas come back. Even tho he has alot of injurys I still think he could hang in there with anyone in HW or LHW.

vitor belfort, frank shamrock, yves edwards, melvin guillard, and evan tanner. all of them were great in their days. it would be nice to see them tested against today's top level competition.

Tanner is coming back soon, he mentioned on his website. He's being rumoured for 76 I think, that guy is one of my favourite fighters.

I'd like to see Taktarov a few more times and Goodridge.

I'm excited for Tanner's comeback, does anyone know who he's training with?

i was aware bas left competition cause of some injury but i never knew what... could u elaborate on his injuries? do u think it really is possible he could come back or are u just a die hard fan. cause i love that guy too he comes by my muay thai gym sometimes but iv never asked him about injuries// that can be a touchy subject sometimes

Bas has a nasty knee injury. He has arphritis in his knee and also has a banged up ligament (Not sure whether it's MCL, ACL or PCL or a combination of all) and if he had surgery to fix it his arphritis is likely to get worse. He's mentioned that if he got it all fixed up he'd love to fight again.

For the Tanner guys, looks like they scrapped the potential Eastman Vs Mcfedries and have thrown him against Tanner. Should be a great fight, Eastman gets some real tough fights.
