    Waddaya think? Guida out-hustled Pettis, and Maynard bullied Guida.

    However, Pettis made an excellent comeback stopping Lauzon and he is the only man to beat Bendo in WEC.

    WAR!

    I think Diaz-Pettis seems action packed as well.

    I thought Diaz was already getting the next shot so Maynard-Pettis might not be a bad idea for after diaz.

    I forgot that he is waiting. I don't like that he is, since he probably won't be fighting until around January. He has been a pretty active fighter up until this year.

    The Bendo/Edgar rematch is totally unnecessary. Nate should just be getting the shot in August, and Edgar should be in the mix with the other contenders.

    So Frankie edgar has 6 back to back fights against 3 opponents, thats absurd and killing the division.

    The division is stacked and top champions like Penn and Edgar deserve their rematch. The UFC is way too anti-rematch sometimes. Fitch Penn, Rampage Machida etc all needed rematches for one reason or another.

    Guys like Diaz are only furthering their case.

    Diaz is next in line. Pettis-Maynard next.

    They scheduled Fight-Penn II... but Fitch got injured, yeah Machida and Rampage could need a rematch.

    But there is now way Edgard deserve 2 rematch in a row !

    The first one was more a rematch for Bj... !:p

    The first one was BJ, the second one was for Maynard, it is only fair that the third one is for Edgar.

    My thinking is that Penn didn't deserve a rematch he lost a clear decision he should have to go back and get a win or two against top contenders before another shot. It makes the division more exciting. The draw yeah sure rematch but of the 3 only 1 is necessary to me.

    Boxing can be **** at this but look at the super 6 kessler/Froch have a good close fight. Take time off go fight other guys come back and its a more interesting fight because of the fights they've had in the mean time. In a stacked division get everyone fighting everyone all the time.

    I think Maynard would hold Pettis down, and ride him to a decision. I would like to see Maynard and Henderson as much as I would like to see any fight in the division, and it can be justified if Henderson wins or loses his next fight.
