Well, I always go to MMAWeekly to check out the rumors section for upcoming events. Today I saw Phil Baroni's name on there for UFC 57 on SuperBowl weekend.

What does everyone think about him returning to the UFC? He hasn't exactly had a great year in the MMA world. He lost to Pete Sell early in the year and then lost in the quarterfinals of the Bushido tourney.

Does he still have anything to offer? I personally think his style fits the UFC a little better than Pride, and it would be good if he had a little more success. The UFC can always use a big name like Baroni.

I'm just wondering if he is really worth the hype. I haven't seen him win too many fights in my short time of watching the UFC. And the past records show he hasn't won many either.

Edit: I meant to post this in the regular UFC forum, but I accidentally posted in the UFC Fighters section instead. If it's ok here, then leave it. But if not, just move it to the regular UFC forum. Sorry about that.
