    Franklin vs Belcher. Belcher just had a nice win over Palhares. I think he deserves a big name opportunity.

    Wanderlei vs Sonnen. This is on the assumption that Sonnen loses his next fight.

    Maynard vs Henderson. I don't care who wins Henderson vs Edgar II, I want to see this fight next.

    Werdum deserves a top 5 opponent with a title shot awaiting if he is successful. I think the UFC should allow Werdum to face Cormier in Cormier's last StrikeForce outing, and give the winner the next shot at the title.

    Werdum against Struve let's say for the title contender (If Struve get past Miocic) would be a good scrap. Obviously Werdum has the edge on the ground.


    I'm not so hawt on a Maynard/Henderson fight...I think Henderson would be too much for Maynard, prolly finish him with a sub IMO.
    Since Nate is waiting for the title fight I guess next in line would be Pettis/Maynard

    Franklin/Belcher could be a good idea !


    And anybody that will flatten Sonnen gets my vote !!

    Hey - I actually agree with you on all of those. Though I will admit that I still wouldn't mind seeing the Rich Franklin/Cung Le fight if Cung makes it through Cote. Belcher certainly deserves a good name fight of his own - hell even a match with Cung is a possibility. Could make for real fireworks.

    Heavyweight-wise I would like to see Werdum vs Carwin once Shane is back in rotation. Frank Mir is never far off but he will be relegated to gatekeeper status until a coconut falls on junior Dos Santos' head.

    Some good ideas but

    Franklin-Bisping, Franklin beat Wandy who beat Bisping so if Bisping thinks he deserves his title shot he should have to beat Franklin.

    Belcher-Belfort, Belcher has looked great and a win over Belfort would show he is deserving of a shot and Belfort needs to beat another top 10 guy to stay in the hunt.

    Werdum-Carwin, Carwin should be ready to fight by the time this fight can be made and if Werdum can't get by him he really doesn't deserve his shot.

    Guida - London, Olympic games, he can use some of that speed in a triatholon or running type event to burn up some of that energy.
