5 guys the UFC should get

We all know that the UFC pretty much has a monopoly when it comes to MMA, but there is still some great talent out there that many fans would love for the UFC to pick up. I thought it would be a great for everyone to talk about who their 5 personal picks would be, so I will start it out.

1. Fedor - Fedor is a great fighter, and i have hated on him in the past, but this weekend he has proved that he is the top dog once again. Honestly, if he ends up fighting Barnett (who will never be in the UFC), there will be no one left for him to fight. With the UFC, there are so many great matchups. Velasquez, Carwin, and De Santos are all great up-and-comers that could be Championship level by the time Fedor could get to the UFC. Randy vs Fedor is still a dream fight. Brock vs Fedor might sell more PPV's than any fight ever, and as far as matchup wise could be Fedor's toughest test. Fighters like Gonzaga and Kongo could pull a Thiago Alves and just go on a tear and become legitimate threats again. Lets not forget Frank Mir, one guy that matches up very well with his new found standup. The possibilities are endless.

2. Allistar Overeem - This guy, Evans, and  Alves were the most improved fighters last year and he seems to only be getting better. He is coming off a brutal beatdown of a K-1 champ in a K-1 match! He is a super exciting fighter and is a great talker. Plus, this would bring a legitimate European star for the UFC to use in its shows over there. He comes in right as a contender to the title. Heavyweights are where the big money is at and he has the total package: he is a top fighter and he is insanely huge/ripped, and he loves to add drama to a fight.

3. Gegard Mousai - Right now Anderson Silva looks unbeatable, but i think this guy could give him the biggest challenge to date. Only 23, yet he is a vetern of the sport with 27 fights against top talent such as Jacre, Kang, Manhoef, and Hector Lombard. He has great striking which he showed in his recent knockout over a K-1 champ and great submissions as well. This is what is needed to beat Silva,being  great in every aspect, not just the ground. I still don't believe that Maia can come in with Silva and eat some punches to be able to take him to the ground, but Mousai could.

4. Little Nog - After his dominating win over Matyushenko this weekend, he has propelled his self in the top 10 LHWs again. Even though this is the deepest division in the UFC as far as contenders, he would be great to throw in the mix. With the loss of Sokoju, the win one-loose-one streaks of Chuck, Wandy, Vera, and Jardine, little Nog would be a breath of fresh air and he would provide many new interesting matchups. Also, the angle of having twin brothers fight in 2 divisions would be great. 

5. Shinya Aoki - with BJ moving up, the lightweight division is kind of in a weird state. The division is great and exciting, but lacks many true contenders. Lets look: Sherk is the doing what Rich Franklin has done the last few years, beat every contender, but show that he can not beat the champ. Even though he maybe the second best LW fighter, people don't want to see him lose to BJ 5 times. KFlo has reinvented himself and became a force, but lets look at who he is beat: Huerta, who was fed scrubs coming up, Lauzon, good but very green, Joe Stevenson, which after BJ has fallen apart, etc... Diego Sanchez is the only other top contender right now, but that is based on his performance at WW, having never fought at LW. Now that is over, lol, Aoki provides many great new matchups and a style no one else in the UFC has: he works only to take it to the ground and confuse you with crazy submissions. While the other fighter is trying to get out of all of these, he opens his opponent up for something easy and he takes advantage. Even though BJ loves to stand, i would love to see these guys grapple. Dustin Hazlett's growth in popularity shows that great submissions artists are becoming more appreciated in the UFC.

Honorable Mentions: 

Vitor Belfort - if he is back to his old self, he could be one of the biggest stars in the UFC right now

King Mo -  he = young, middleweight Rampage
