10 MMA Fighters We Want Back in the UFC

When Lyoto Machida came off of a long suspension and suspected retirement only to get knocked out by Derek Brunson, it seemed as though the living legend and former champion would finally be calling it quits. However, after winning a controversial main event decision against Eryk Anders and knocking Vitor Belfort out in his retirement fight, everyone knew “The Dragon” was back. And then he ruined it all by signing with Bellator.

Don’t get me wrong, I love the idea of Lyoto getting rematches with Gegard Mousasi and Ryan Bader, but should he have left the UFC while he was on a win streak? I think that Machida could easily beat top 15 opponents, such as Elias Theodorou and Uriah Hall, and I would love to see him come back to the UFC and continue to test himself against the best in the world.
