Chuck I believe can still regain the title, he will always have that punchers chance, he was the first in over 100 fights to put Horn down, the first to KO Randy Couture, and a lot of high light reel knockouts. He hasn't done well lately, but I think it's due to bad luck.

Randy is one of those weird ones, he jumps weight classes. He may be a bit older, but he still looks strong enough, quick enough, and determined enough to hang, he's like the fox against the hound, his intelligence helps him. His last fight it didn't work, but he can still give a fight.

Hughes is past his prime, and the competition is so stacked i don't see him having a chance.

Ortiz. He has shown he is capable of beating Rashad who is the champ. I think Rampage would destroy him, but I could picture him beating T. Silva, Jardine, Vera, he could very well be in title contention.

Shamrock is done, I don't see him being able to much against many great 185ers, Leben, Bisping, Silva, Maia, Hendo, Belfort, Lindland, Le would all destroy him. I really don't see him in title contention.

Wandy is great, he could be in title contention, but he needs to evolve his game. He is still young and able to learn new stuff. He has power as we have seen, but get away from brawling and go to boxing, and focus on bjj he could be right back in there.

Shogun. I don't understand why this guy is so questioned right now, his first fight in a new organization, injured, his wedding is 2 weeks before the fight, he starts strong, then gasses, and doesn't do so well. Gomi lost 2 fights in a row years back then dominated Pride's LW division for years, Shogun lost 1 fight, and the guy that beat him went on to be champ. Give the guy a break, he had a bad fight, he can return and be the champ.
