Both Matt Lindland and Dana White have recently confirmed that the two had tossed around the idea of a Lindland return to the UFC. However after UFC 81 Lindland made it clear that the UFC would not be making him an offer.
“Dana has made it clear they are not going to make me an offer to return to the UFC,” said Lindland. "I feel there are a lot of good fighters in the UFC, and I feel like I could beat most of them."
It would be great to see Lindland back in the UFC and I believe he would be an immediate threat in whatever division he decided to fight in. Who knows why an offer wasn't made but I hope it wasn't Dana White running a dictatorship again.

A shame....Lindlands a great, exciting fighter.....somebody will scoop him up.
It really is. The newbie's of MMA have no clue who he is except for that he's a coach in the IFL. No one remembers that last April he was beating Fedor when Lindland was going to take Fedor down, but Fedor illegally grabbed the rope to maintain his balance (unseen by the ref) and landed in the mount position on Lindland. Fedor isn't going to lose while in the mount.
Hate to say it but I almost forgot about that!
