In the press conference yesterday, they said down the road they're unifying all titles (smart: you don't want to have boxing's problem where no one knows who the champ is), so a very good chance we'll see most of these based on current matchmaking. Looking at things as they are now, if they did immediate unifications once current matches made were fulfilled: Heavyweight: Velasquez-dos Santos/Lesnar winner vs. Overeem/GP winner Light Heavyweight: Shogun/Jones winner vs. Henderson Middleweight: Anderson Silva vs. Jacare Welterweight: GSP/Shields winner vs. Nick Diaz/Daley winner (assuming GSP doesn't move up to middle) Lightweight: Edgar/Maynard winner vs. Melendez/Kawajiri winner By the way, UFC now has 400 fighters under contract now. (Strikeforce had 140.)
Where are you getting these numbers? It's 396!!! HW = 25 LHW = 37 MW = 45 WW = 49 LW = 54 FW = 25 BW = 21 54 fighters in the lightweight division! Shows how poor the heavy division is! Lynchburg
Strikeforce kills UFC in HWs, so I wouldnt really look there. I'd say Diaz Vs GSP would be my no#1. Diaz imo could edge the stand up, and GSP would wreck him with wrestlin, but Diaz is amazing at the subs too so...would be awesome.
Reem (even if he doesnt win the gp) vs Cain By the by I think daley does better against diaz than gsp does.
