it'll be a great pick up for whoever gets him.

He could be a force in the heavyweight division of the UFC. If he fights how he's been fighting, he could be unstoppable in the UFC.

Comeback fighter of the year IMO. I'd love to see him in the octagon or even Affliction. Some good matchups in both orgs.

I'd like to see Alistair in the UFC or Affliction, more depth is always good in any division. He's been on a tear since he moved up to heavyweight; I do suspect however, that he might appear a bit smaller at his fights if he did sign with the UFC.
He was always a big LHW (MW, whatever), and I'm not alleging any abuses on Alistair's behalf; he may in fact have the best nutritionist and training regimes ever...

UFC really needs a guy like him. He has proven worthy to be in the UFC, now it's time for them to discuss.
