    Dan Henderson

    Phil Davis

    Tito Ortiz

    Rich Franklin

    Alexander Gustafsson

    Vladimir Matyushenko

    Thiago Silva (if he is eligible, that is)




    I've left out Jones and Rampage since they have a fight coming up, and Rashad as well since he is in line for the winner. Have left out Machida as well, that'd be overkill I think at this stage. And have left out Bader since he's fighting Brilz.

    Thoughts? :bbb

    I'd really like to see Evans and Shogun square off. A match with Phil Davis would be intriguing.

    No....I like him as a fighter. I don't hate anyone...Well maybe Matt Hughes after reading this:

    http://www.eastsideboxing.com/forum/showthread.php?t=337389


    I just think that it's a normal , noble and moral thing to do. I'd go as far as to say that it should be shogun's number 1 priority. Give it another try. It was a terrible defeat. And since it's a legit and serious challenge.... Why not ?

    Why should he waste his time , against the likes of


    Dan Henderson (past his prime...)

    Tito Ortiz (past his prime and one dimensional)

    Rich Franklin (one dimensional)

    Vladimir Matyushenko (totally shot...)

    Thiago Silva ( good but inconsistant)



    Then again....a past prime , washed up Mark Coleman defeated him once. So you never know. But still , it should be shogun's priority. it would be great imo. And the fans would surely love to see a rematch. Then if he gets owned again...he should forget about Jones for the rest of his career.

    Tito is going to fight Franklin next.

    So, probably Davis.

    Davis or Rashad could be interesting. And to the person who suggested Jones...um, what did Shogun show in their first fight that makes you think it would end any differently?

    Hendo-Winner gets a title shot

    Machida III-Winner gets a title shot

    Tito-Another 'warm-up' fight for Shogun

    Davis. Shogun is going to need as much work as possibly preparing for wrestling in order to have a chance against Jones.
