My Christmas Wishlist - The MMA Edition

Since today is my wife's birthday (Happy Birthday Sarah!), it means we have just ten days left until Christmas.

While I've circulated my list of desired presents to the people who need it, I'm sharing my MMA Wishlist with everyone at heavy.com. Instead of asking for a bunch of things that benefit me directly, I've gone with a more universal list this year, getting an early jump on my New Year's Resolution to be less selfish.

For instance:

1.    A Healthy Return for Georges St-Pierre, Anderson Silva and Brock Lesnar

Three of the five UFC champions are currently dealing with varying degrees of illness and injury, and a healthy return for this trio of talents is vital for the organization and the sport.

There really is a silver lining to every cloud.

While we’ve been faced with somewhat lacklustre cards and uninspiring main events lately and in the next couple of months, we’ve forged ahead since August without any of these three champions. Eventually, they will return and those star-studded cards with championship main events we’ve grown accustomed to will come back with them.

Get well soon – these and all the injured fighters out there.

In addition to checking out the rest of my wishlist, we want to know what you're wishing for from the world of Mixed Martial Arts this holiday season.

Better judging?

An Alistair Overeem title defense?

UFC on Network TV?

Let us know... and happy holidays!

Wandy to go on a nice winning streak in 2010, starting with Bisping. =)

I think that regardless of whether Bisping wins or not

Wand still brings the thunder, and i’m betting that he drops Mike at least once throughout the course of the fight.

Still holding out in my bunker of pointless hope.

A Healthy Return for Georges St-Pierre,

GSP isn’t currently injured, at least not according to the update he gave a few weeks back where he said he had completely recovered from the groin injury and was training at (close to) 100%

by Scott Haber on Dec 15, 2009 2:51 PM EST reply actions  

Agreed, but until he gets into the cage and shows us that the GSP of old is back, I’m still waiting.

by E. Spencer Kyte on Dec 15, 2009 4:21 PM EST up reply actions  

And by “the GSP of old” you mean the GSP of… 5 months ago?

by JRN on Dec 15, 2009 7:51 PM EST up reply actions  

Or maye, a GSP that dosen’t have a lingering/tender groin that effects his fighting.

So not-potential-future GSP.

Keep firing Assholes!

Cyborg GSP? How is that any different than old GSP?

by Neil Manich on Dec 15, 2009 11:21 PM EST up reply actions  

In other words, the GSP that could have taken on the entire UFC WW top10 at once – and beaten them.

This will never happen but...

Reintroduce foot stomps to the head of a grounded opponent.

for all intents and purposes, just consider all my posts as works of satire.

Overeem fight in the United States

Forrest Griffin to build a nice win streak and improve enough to stand a chance against the champ at 205, be it Lyoto, Shogun, or even Anderson

Silva has “PPV-itis”. The doctors are unsure if he’ll be able to make his next fight unless it’s a co-main event featuring Ortiz vs. Liddell.
