    Id say Fedor (if he beats Arlovski) vs. Lesnar

    If Fedor loses then I cant see anything huge in the horizon. A. Silva is retiring this year.
     
  2. If GSP wins I would like to see him vs A. Sliva. Or Fedor if he wins vs winner of Lesnar Mir.

    Couture may drop down to Lt Heavy again....Couture vs Rampage anyone???

    In the event Mir beats Lesnar, and Anderson really plans on retiring....I want Anderson to put on some weight and move up to challeng Mir for that belt!

    I dont know but Mir, Silva doesnt excite me. Couture/Rampage?/ not really. Florian/BJ I'm curious. Alves/GSp is good but Alves is a no name, yet very dangerous

    I thought we were trying to come up with "super fights"? I personally don't ever wanna see couture fight again at Lt Heavyweight. I would like to see Anderson fight Mir though, think he would beat him. I think BJ would maul Florian

    Yeah super fights, theres really none..you cant rehash Randy and Chuck every month. The loser of this fight BJ/GSP will be sidelined for a while. Titos done, Silva as great as he is just isnt crossover material and Machidas even worse. The biggest and fresh names are Lesnar and Fedor but they may not meet. Rashad has potential but against who? Bisping?

    It seems like the UFC is running out of young talent to replenish, frankly I cant foresee a mega star in the near future.

    Man I totally agree Fedor v Lesnar would be amazing.

    Sadly it will never come to be....

    It definently is Anderson Silva vs anybody they can get to be an interesting fight; there are a few different options, but Anderson is the key ingredient.

    If GSP wins, that would be a huge fight; Rashad would be a huge fight, Liddell would have been and actually would still sell the best to non MMA fans, Rampage too, and Forrest would have been had he not lost.

    In non cross weight division fights, if you could get Cung Le in the UFC and get him promoted quick that would make for a big fight, even if I don't think it would even be close.

    Other than Anderson Silva, or actually it works for him too, another big money idea is to get a boxer in there; it's far fetched and it would be lopsided as hell, but it would be huge.

    The UFC would want it to be a certain win for mma, and the boxer would have to be mainstream popular, so BJ or Sherk vs Mayweather, Pac, Hatton, or DLH; or go GSP or Silva vs Bhop, Pavlik or of corse RJJ; all of those are very unlikely. Maybe they could get Haye, he is big in the UK and a loudmouth; Couture would make sense for that, but really anybody would do.

    Those are all inter weightclass, promotion, or sport though; the biggest normal UFC fight is definently Mir vs Lesnar 2; after that it's Rasahd vs Rampage, then Machida who would bring the TMA fans; plus the LHW division has always been the ufc's money division.

    Since both lesnar and mir won then their fight would be the next big thing.
    Mir vs Lesnar for the Undisputed UFC heavyweight championship

    Couture vs Noguiera- battle of the former champions
    If GSP wins vs Bj

    GSP vs Thiago Alves

    If Bj Penn wins

    Bj vs alves

    Mauricio Shogun Rua vs Rampage
    Winner of Thiago Silva-Machida fight vs Rashad Evans

    Anderson Silva vs Iceman Liddell - hopes this fight happens
