For too long, our writers’ hyper-specific arguments have been confined to the private corridors of the Internet. Welcome to The List, where we take their instant message bickerings, add a little polish, and make them public. Amid all this hoopla over comebacks, GSP and otherwise, we talk about the fighters who wouldn’t worry us to all get-out by returning to competition. * * * * Chris Lytle, because he’s one of the nicer violence purveyors Chris Lytle Steven Marrocco : Before heavyweight champ Stipe Miocic was the most famous UFC fighter living on firefighter’s schedule, there was Chris Lytle , a soft-spoken, hard-working guy from the “Hoosier State” who didn’t mind getting terribly bloody in pursuit of octagon victory. Equally comfortable on the ground and on his feet, I’ll never forget the double submission he pulled off against Jason Gilliam at UFC 73, torquing an arm while simultaneously choking with his legs. Officially, the win is registered as a “triangle kimura.” Unofficially, it’s known by his nickname: “Nuts and Honey.” Lytle got a bad call in the finale of “The Ultimate Fighter 4” against future upset king Matt Serra. But as it turned out, that was only the start of an impressive resurgence. Over 13 fights, he beat up-and-comers like Gilliam, Paul Taylor and Brian Foster.
