    Fedor / Lesner
    Lesner is the UFC champ and is branded as the best of the ‘new era of the heavy weight giants’ while Fedor is the best fighter ever to grace the sport. Not just at heavy weight but p4p. There are so many ways they could hype this fight with the press and money to be made that this fight not happening is a disservice to MMA. Imagine if Ali never fought Frazier, ****** or *******. I hope you get my point. Dana and m1 need to fix up and really think about what they are doing to the sport they are apparently trying to promote. Make it happen before Lesner losses or Fedor gets old.

    Fedor – Wedrum 2
    Before the above match should happen this one must. I’m not one for immediate rematches when there is no doubt to whom won but being the GOAT I think an exception should be made, Fedor deserves a chance to redeem his first real loss and Wedrum deserves to prove to the world it wasn’t just a fluke win. Lets hope Strike Force can promote this the way it deserves.

    Barnett – AO
    Barnett had been suspended for a year and forgotten / frowned upon by many fans since he got caught using illegal substances for a third time, a win over such a name will prove he still is one of the very best and make fans remember just how good he is, AO has looked very impressive and dominant since moving up to heavyweight but still needs a win over a highly ranked big name opponent to quite his critics. As a bonus the winner as long as he can stay clean will most likely get the Fedor / Wedrum winner.

    Machida – Lesner (this will also allow Anderson silva to move up and compete for the light heavyweight title, instead of the possibility of one of them being like a Rua to Wandy in Pride)
    Machida said he wanted to move up and with his striking / takedown defense and with Lesners recent poor showing I think Machida could win this. How many times as Machida been taken down?

    Evans – Lil Nog
    With Rua injured there might as well be an itrum title fight. With all the big names coming off loses and Nog coming off 2 wins it makes the most sense. And who wouldn’t rather Rua / Nog 2 (the first fight was ) than Rua / Evans?

    Anderson Silva – Belfort
    The only real challenge left for Silva at middleweight. If Belfort can control the range like Rua did with Machida this could be a very interesting match up.

    Anderson Silva – Rua
    Sonnen talks a god game but let’s be honest, Silva should win this fairly easily and after Belfort there isn’t anyone left. With no threats at middleweight why not move up in weight (where he has already fought twice and looked spectacular) to arguably the best division in the UFC and test yourself against the best? This is just as intriguing if not more as an Silva / St. Pieere match up as they can both compete in a division comfortable to them. 2 legends, both on top of their game, what is not to like.

    St Pierre – A Silva, why this hasn’t happened yet baffles me and makes me wonder what is going on in Mr. White’s head, this is MMA’s equivalent of Mayweather / Pacquiao without the promotion / drug testing problems. With Fedors recent loss they are with out a doubt p4p #1 and 2. In which order depends on who you ask, I say let them decide in the cage.

    St Pierre – Jake Shields
    Shields is on a 14-bout winning streak and leaving Strike Force as a welterweight champ and current middleweight champion, this is a must make fight. Pierre needs some new challenges instead of fighting the KO’s over again.

    B.J. Penn (if he wins his next match) – Jose Aldo
    A 2 weight division champion and arguably best lightweight ever against a man being heralded as a future great and 3 weight division champion. Need I say more?


    Honorable mentions
    Machida – Rua 3
    One a piece, needs a third.

    Rampage – anyone soon
    Has Rampage finally realized MMA at this level can’t be done part time and that ring rust isn’t a myth!

    This is a great list. I would also like to see Randy Couture fight Machida and Rua, as well as Machida vs Crocop, Brock Lesnar vs Nogueira, Crocop vs Velazquez, and Anderson Silva vs Palhares to name a few.

    I forgot to add Velasquez vs. JDS. That's probably my favorite hypothetical heavyweight fight that doesn't involve Fedor or Overeem.

    Silva V Silva

    Dunno why, just like the fact they have the same surname and they are both strikers.









    A Silva would **** him at this point in time though.
