Endless possibilities: Barnett, Monson, Fedor, Hunt, Sergei, AA, Bigfoot Silva, Ricco, maybe even Randelman.

Yeah there's a ton of free agents that could be brought it but i doubt that happens so hopefully some of the young talent pans out. (Shane Carwin, Cain Velasquez, Brock Lesnar,etc.)

That ship has sailed. It will have to be an infusion of young up and coming guys. Unless the other orgs fail they won't be getting any of the top guys back. A hands on Lorenzo may be more of a positive influence, but it's not likely.

All fine choices but let's be realistic.
Monson was in UFC and at this point I don't think he has a chance of winning the belt.
Fedor was in negotiation and as much as it saddens me I don't see this happening.
Barnett is not on the best terms with Dana but maybe with Lorenzo working full time this might change.
I don't know if Hunt can make 265 weight but if he could that would be awesome.
That leaves us with Sergei, AA, Bigfoot and Ricco who can make nice impact on the division.
Again with Lorenzo in the picture there might be a chance of AA returning back as well as starting chat with rest of them ( especially Fedor and Barnett ) |

Barnett is the most the obvious one. Who cares about Sylvia unless you bring back Timmer too. Then you could have an akward giant fight but that doesnt appeal too much to me. Rather see Hong than him if we want a freakshow. To the guy who mentioned Randleman....I agree....he is always in shape and ready to go. I think there are matches for him. Would love to see Randleman back inthe UFC but I imagine he would come at LHW not HW and I doubt he would do too much there.

Well it just got even worst imo, Vera is going to fight at LHW.
On the bright side Jake O'Brien is back in the ufc fighting Cain Velsquez. |

Randleman looked very subpar in his WVR fight recently and is more of a LHW anyways. It would be a waste of money to sign him at this point of his career because I just don't see him having that much left to being a contender.
