Lots of top tier wrestler competing on NYE, wonder who they match him up with. A striker or a submission grappler?
A fight with Bang would be interesting (if he can be asked to train for MMA).

Good to hear, he sounds exciting for a wrestler.
Sidenote: Bang should start training MMA, because he canīt hang with the top MT-guys.

I disagree, I'm not a fan of Bang, maybe because he's from Colorado or maybe because he seems like a punk, but he can definitely "hang" with top Muay Thai fighters. He KOed Matsumoto (who apparently was/is ranked #1 at one of the big two stadiums in Thailand, and was previously undefeated), beat Malipet who is a very good Thai fighter, KOed Kozo who is a legend and did very well in Thailand, and Bang apparently won some fights in Thailand as well (that's what his camp says). Those guys are MT fighters, he also recently beat Serkan, and William Diender (don't know much about him, but he is dutch and a lot of people picked him to win) in K1 Max. Basically, he's only lost to the best fighters (Masato, Kraus, Chalmsak, Parr) and he's probably still the best American kickboxer (is Ole Laursen American?) so I don't think he should quit.
That said, maybe he should start fighting in MMA more, he fought BJ Penn without training MMA (according to him), and while I think he would have lost either way, he really didn't give himself a chance. I think he could beat Yves Edwards so he should give it a shot.

It's good that they're bringing Miyata back soon, hopefully they'll give him a fight to build him up a little since he is new to the game

Bang didn't look that good against Serkan and I thought he lost against Diender (he took it in overtime but it never should have come to that). Kozo's past his prime, Matsumoto doesn't seem to fair well under MAX rules and I thought he lost to Ole as well. ;P Bang's good though.

I don't disagree with any of that (I didn't see the fights against Serkan, Ole and Diender), like I said, I don't even like Ludwig, but it irritates me when people act like a fighter is some bum when he loses to other good fighters.
