Monson deserves to come back to the UFC. I don't think we'll see it happen, because 1) the HW division is packed right now and 2) he's a controversial figure, and not the kind of controversial figure DW wants in his show.

I'd say bring him back to. He has been on a winning streak and has done battle with some legit dudes.

I like watching Monson fight, but outside of the ring, the guy is just a complete whack job.

he won against tough opponents (nelson/sergei), he doesn't need more wins, he already proved himself. who do you think he should defeat before he gets in the ufc? if thats in fact the case...

The main problem with Monson is the fact that he's 5'9, which is about as tall as most LW's. Sometimes it works (pulled a north/south sub, which negate the size difference vs. Sergei), but its too much of an handicap on the long run (watch his fight with Big Tim for a good example).
