Josh seems to be a love 'em or hate 'me type of character, most people have strong feelings regarding him.
Two questions:
-Should he be back in the UFC?
-Will he be back in the UFC?
I believe he should be back but am not sure if he will be. DW had some harsh things to say about him recently that didn't bode well for his return.
How do you think this plays out once Strikeforce is officially shut down?

Should he? Definitely.
Will he? Probably.
He's a top HW, and the HW division could also do with top fighters.
Also, PRIDE never die!

You can never have enough talented Heavyweights, so yes.

He should be and probably will be back in the UFC heavyweight division. There is no shame in losing to Daniel Cormier and he is still a top 10 heavyweight and exciting fighter / personality. I doubt he could make a run at the belt with buzz-saws like Overeem, Dos Santos, and Velasquez in the way. But he could definitely have some fun fights with Nelson, Barry, Mir, Kongo, etc.

He'll be back...DW had way more problems and more to say about Tito but he brought him back no problem.
Josh is still a top HW with an ok fan base..I can't see no other reason why he wouldn't be brought back other than Danas overinflated ego, if he still has problems with Josh.
Him fighting Mir sounds good to me.

Dream match. But I think Josh cardio and chin is much better.

Never was a fan of his, but would like to see him back in the mix.

Barnett vs Mir would be awesome. Or a rubber match with Big Nog.

Yes. Other cheaters are welcomed back so I see no reason not to get him in the UFC.

Agreed, plenty of good fights for him. The fact that he's extremely difficult to finish, even fights with the Top 5 guys are interesting.
I think the actual numbers of his deal will be interesting, Josh is used to getting paid pretty well. Zuffa might lowball him on spite and see how he reacts.

Depends if he wins next weekend. If he does, and he still has fights left on his current contract, then he will definitely be in the UFC, they couldn't deny him. If he loses, then I doubt the UFC will bring him in on a two fight losing streak. If he wins and that was the last fight on his contract, then I could see it going either way.

He'll get in.. He's still a top HW with a excellent grappling game and good gas tank for a big man
