    Machida-Silva
    Rua-Coleman
    Jardine-Liddell 2 possibly?
    Anderson Silva
    I personally think the winner of the undefeated clash between Lyoto Machida and Thiago Silva should get the first shot at Rashad Evans.

    I agree, but its more or less been confirmed that Rampage will get the first shot. The winner of Franklin vs Hendo will fight Bisping at 185 so they will be out of contention for the time being. Still not sure who Chuck is fighting at 96 but Dana keeps mentioning Shogun if he beats Coleman. Luis Cane is another guy to keep an eye on, it looks like he will be fighting Jardine at UFC 97. If he wins and T.Silva loses I would like to see that fight. There is some beef between the two so it should make it more exciting.

    Dana has also mentioned Wanderlei for Liddell. I dont think anyone should be in line for title shots aside from Machida if he beats Thiago (I dont think Thiagos resume is deserving of a title shot over Rampage at all)Rampage of course,Griffin rematch because he was in control although I know that wont happen right away,Luis Cane if he wins.
