Which fights do you want to see next for the Fox card winners?

On the main card, that is?

Bendo

Gustafsson

MacDonald

Brown


I like to see the Henderson-Pettis rematch if Pettis beats Cerrone.

Wouldn't mind Gustafsson vs the Hendo-Machida winner, for a crack at Jones after he dispatches Sonnen.

MacDonald-Condit rematch seems the natural fight. And I think that MacDonald beats him as well.

And I'm undecided about Matt Brown's next fight. I always figured him for a journeyman gatekeeper type, a "can his opponent cut it in the UFC" type fighter. But he put in by far the best performance I've ever seen from him, and it seems he deserves some kind of step up in comp. He's on a four-fight win streak with three finishes and tonight's fight was his most impressive, so he probably deserves a chance against a contender. :smoke

It's a valid point. :good

Still not quite sold on Gustafsson though. And Jones won't be fighting Chael until April 27, so it's a looong time for Gustafsson to sit on the shelf. If Jones didn't have a fight lined up I'd say yeah, throw Gustafsson in there. But I don't like him to sit around inactive for most of a year. He's a young guy, a loss to Hendo or Machida wouldn't be a disaster for his career. :smoke

And Machida and Hendo fight in February, so that isn't too far away. If Hendo wins that one, that would be a very good win for him. I wouldn't be opposed to him getting the title shot that he was signed for not long ago off the back of beating Machida. :good

Still leaves Gustafsson out in the cold though. :conf

Who do you like for Matt Brown? He actually looks like he's putting things together in there. :think

:hat

 

Yeah, Glover would be a good match for Gustafsson I reckon. Still think that Gustafsson is one fight away from sealing his #1 contender status and stamping himself as a true threat for Bones. :good

And Brown is fun to watch whoever he fights. He's got an iron chin and he always fights balls out. Looks like he's really been working hard on his skills too. :smoke

Good to hear. Sounds like he knows that time is on his side and he's only getting better. Great attitude that he wants to go out and fight to solidify his status, rather than sit on his ass and wait for a shot to be handed to him. :yep
