Paul Harris has been suspended for two years dating from his fight against Shields, so he's out for at least that long.
Also I doubt GEFC will let Goltsov risk his status in a non-title fight, more likely he's aiming at the UFC. But who knows.
The younger Nemkov and Sidelnikov (who surprisingly hasn't retired after all) have already been all but confirmed according to the Russians.
"If the enemy rejects the ground, I would take him down by tackle. Why didn’t he [Royler] do so? May I introduce him to a good coach? His tackle was... like a girl’s one... Mr. Royler, how are you feeling?" - Kazushi Sakuraba

Akebono's name has started to pop up. I wouldn't be surprised since he was a part of the highest rated MMA bout ever in Japan.

highlighting each fight.
“It would be great to see RENA’s flying armbar. I am excited to see the heated fight between the 2 beauties. Motoya not only has the gift as a natural fighter, but he also puts in the work by training 8 hours a day. He is still 26 years old and lots of time ahead of him so I want him to lead the future of MMA. Takaya, DJ both are heavy hitters. I’m expecting a high level thrilling exchange by the two highly experienced fighters. Nagashima definitely catches the eye. I have no idea what he means by a “mysterious fight” but I’ll be looking for that answer on New Year’s Eve. As far as Andy, he’s going to bring world class striking for sure, but I’m also interested in seeing his ground”.

Will b e interesting to see how this all pans out.
Dynamite 2002 was a big dud(fight-wise) except for the Sapp-Big Nog fight. Hope it not turn out that way.
