I'd like to see Kevin Randleman come back for a couple more fights. At 35 and free of his lung disease I think he can have a big 2007, if not in Pride then in some other organizations.

Yeah he's lost 7 of his past 9 fights, but he was fighting guys like Sakuraba, Fedor, CroCop, Rua (the last two he had wins over before the rematches). Pride has always recognized effort in the ring. Unlike other organizations such as the UFC, who will basically throw a fighter under the bridge and say they suck if they lose one or two fights, Pride will bring a fighter back after a loss or two as long as they put on a strong exciting fight.

It is about wins in the end though and Randleman may need to get a win or two in lesser mma orgs before getting an offer from Pride again; who knows. I always felt Randleman was too hesitant to let his hands go in punching exchanges when he had such great punching power, but wrestling was his background and strength.

Another guy who lost his last fight, Mark Coleman, I'd like to see come back for 1 more fight at least, to see him go out a winner. He has inspired many fighters in the sport (including Fedor) and I'd just like to see him get that one more chance to go out a winner. If he doesn't get a win again, well hey he gave his very best in every fight and will still go out a winner.

Hidehiko Yoshida lost his last fight against a guy he should never have been in the ring with (although he has fought even bigger guys in the past), and at 37 he should plan for a busy 2007 to make the most of his opportunities while he can. It's an unfortunate part of the sport that while a guy can be a heavyweight at 220 pounds, he'll end up fighting the Mark Hunt's, Gardner, Thompson's and Tank Abbott's of the sport.

Mark Hunt, as he continues to improve on the ground he will be a serious force to be reckoned with in the heavyweight division.

Vitor Belfort is one of those frustrating fighters that you feel should almost be undefeated right now. When he's on he can be unstoppable and then there are times he comes out kind of flat and loses. Unused potential I guess.

Lastly, I suppose we will be forced to endure another return by Tito Ortiz. Maybe he can fight Tank Abbott for the rights to the "Huntington Beach Badboy" nickname.
