I hope Frank Mir reads this Sherdog article. Mir is a shadow of his former self, and should not be competing at the top levels of the sport. If he wants to hang around at King of the Cage or other B level shows, fine, but Frank, you're never going to be champ again, and you're gonna get hurt. Even in victory against Dan Christenson, the-man-who-ate-Frank-Mir looked terribly fat and out of shape, though his gas tank, which has always been very bad, didn't look much worse than before.
I agree with most of the others on Sherdog's list, but some of them could simply step down their competition levels. Coleman is never going to be a champ like Couture, but there's no reason it wouldn't be fun to see him fight Japanese pro-wrestlers, or serve as a gate keeper, provided he's willing to fill that role.
And I will always have a soft spot in my heart for Tank, but he is no longer fit for top competition. I would always love to see him in a slug-fest with some local talent though. Tank is a big enough draw though that he's probably not willing to settle for that amount of money. Please Tank, don't start thinking Abbott-Arlovski would be a good matchup.
One notable name missing from the list is Ken Shamrock. Again, Ken in King of the Cage would be fine, but he is simply not capable of beating Tito Ortiz or pretty much any other light heavy in the UFC. Please Dana, don't subject us to Ortiz Shamrock 4.

Agree with all above. Not really a comment on this post, but a request: you GOTTA post something about Nick Diaz's marijuana test, right? Maybe we can start sending letters to editors or whatever, 'cause there's no f'n way he should be penalized for this...
Good call. A post on that very soon.
