The "ayes" have it.

Among heavyweights, what about Arlovksi? And if you're going to mention Karo, you might at least mention Nick Diaz.

If I'm not mistaken, Genki just finished a #-fight contract with UFC, and is unlikely to return.

Sudo vs Yves for the lightweight championship belt.

Problem with that is, we know how much Sudo likes to fight in K-1 as well. There could be a controversy similiar to the BJ Penn situation.

The crescent kicks were awesome.

Ooops, my bad, okay switch those two the meaning is still there.

That would be awesome. These are the guys that I love to watch.

Meanwhile, most of the welterweights just make me feel tired.

Karo is a welterweight, so is Diaz for that matter. According to the UFC webiste, both have weights within a couple of pounds of the welterweight/middleweight limit. I don't really see either going from ~170 down to 155.
