No warmaster.

He was the one I was most excited about. I think Cormier is a can.

Between Cormier at 205, Gegard and maybe Hendo; 2013 might be the end of Jones' reign.

Larkin is going to be fun to watch grow, I think Rockhold could get exposed, Souza is still getting better.

Tarec could make some noise.

Healy will be a good gate keeper, Bendo should trainwreck Melendez, and Noons + Thompson + Couture will fade very very quickly in the DEEEEEP UFC LW division. Also glad they signed the Holobaugh kid, he put up an awesomely great effort vs. Healy.

josh barnett has signed with the ufc the word on the street is

Barnett wouldn't be on the list anyways because his contract is up.

I disagree about a couple of things. I think Rockhold is a BEAST. He could do very well in the UFC especially with his style. Don't sleep on Melendez, he's an animal although I do agree the UFC LW's are a step up in competition. I'm excited to see Josh Thompson. Always an exciting fighter.
