Title says it all. Pick a retired fighter and tell us how you think a comeback would go. For example...

Rich “Ace” Franklin - hasn’t fought in over seven years. Despite going 4-4 in his last 8, he has some tread left on those tires. Coming back against today’s middleweights, I think a committed & healthy Franklin would easily be top ten, maybe even top five, but couldn’t put a run together to win the title.

Tank Abbott - couldn’t get over the 3ft gate when he wanted to confront Bader after the Kongo fight in September. I believe Tank would lose to every single heavyweight on the UFC roster.

Name a fighter, tell us how it goes...

Bisping. Comes back and beats everyone not on the juice up. One eyed champion again

Michael "Mayday" McDonald un--retires to make money to support his new family and goes on a 3-fight winning streak only to retire and eat pizza and ice cream and no alcohol of course...

Bonus: Cole Conrad un-retires and retires in the same day...

Matt Hughes coming back would be a train wreck.
I would never give you a “WTF” rating, but What The Fuck?!?!? LOL! Jk. It’s cool because apparently Matt is a piece of shit...(not fighter bashing, as this is according to his own autobiography).

GSP: Comes back and wins whichever title he decides to. Then retires back to his cave for another 4 years before coming back to win another title.

Would come back, look decent, but lose to everyone and probably get finished.

He needs another title for the infinity gauntlet he's making.
I don't know how LW would work out for him but I'd never doubt that man, he will be well prepared and will have an opponent he knows he can beat when and if he does make a move.

I'm also usually against guys coming out of retirement straight into title shots but GSP is the UFCs greatest, he's earned it.
