I hear he will be fighting at 170.He was at UFC 156.Would be awesome,But he's more of a "Pride" kind of fighter.You know more about being entertaining than being the best.I hope they give him some guys who will stand up with him.

If they could give him some fun fights then he would be a welcome addition to the UFC imo. 

I've been a fan of Manhoef for a long time, and do I think he could be champion .. no. But the entertainment the guy can bring is unreal. If they give him some fights with stand up guys then I would love to see Manhoef in the UFC..

I'd prefer him at 185, just because he is comfortable there and still has power without draining his body.

Manhoef vs. Cung Le, vs. Belfort, vs. Lombard, vs. Leben, vs. Larkin, vs. Sakara, vs. Carmont, vs. Belcher, vs. Costa and maybe vs. Silva.

If he makes 170 comfortably and still has all of his power he'll easily be a top contender because nobody would be able to strike with him. Manhoef vs. Alves, vs.Siyar, vs. Brown, vs. Silva, vs. Cote, vs. Tarec, and Lawler 2 would be great fights.

That's right, he said they're trying to get Manhoef at 170. He would be so ripped.
