Maia and the spider will beat him as they are the top 2, not to mention Wanderlei is dropping to 185, Hendo is there as well, Cote when he comes back from his knee injury, he is a tough match for anyone. It is a good division... finally. The Spider had been dominating for a long time.

Com'on just because you don't get the entertainment value doesn't mean that some people don't find it rather entertaing.. Akiyama, is famous and is a rather good fighter, does this mean that he is spearheading another trip to Japan for UFC I personally hope so.. Can he be a contender for the MW title given time and a few high profile wins ofcourse he can be, does he have the talent to do so YES, imo. I'm rather pleased by this signing and I truly wonder who his first oppenent will be.. Time ofcourse will tell. What some of Gono’s entrances over the years..

I don't think any of them would be that marketable. Did anyone see the last TUF when the guy came out in a dress and had a choreographed dance?? His cornermen were all dressed as women! What the hell was that??!! They can sign all the japanese guys they want but I don’t see any of these guys becoming champs soon. I don’t think any of them would be that marketable.
