I've said it a bazillion times, but i'd like to see what Cormier, Barnett, Big Foot , and Kharitnov would do in the UFC. even Werdum...he lost to Overeem where neither guy fought.
I think those guys wold quickly push the like of Cro Cop those type fighters out(although a Sergei/Mirko fight would be nice.
I'm not a huge bigfoot fan, but he's fought he's fought 2 very smart fights recently, he used his size so perfectly, and showed that any HW with him on top could be in quick trouble. He doesn't have any crazy losses, i think he gives every HW a good fight.
Adding 4-5 HW's would be sweet regardless.

I've always viewed the UFC's HW division as very top-heavy (Lesnar, Carwin, JDS, Cain), yet very shallow at the same time.
The Hws fighting tonight, and Werdum would add some much needed depth to the UFC.

Those would be tough fights to call, except Werdum/Mir. Mir would finish him standing.

Ya so it prolly wouldnt happen unless it were for the title.
I would love to see Big Nog vs Barnett III....Let Lesnar fight SIlva then
