Cain would throw Cro Cop all over the place.
Bader vs Rampage is interesting though, I like this fight.
BJ Penn would win by w/e he wants.
Here are a few of my ideas:
Bones vs Bader
Cain vs Brock (This will happen sooner than later)
Anderson vs Rashad or Rampage
And, after Bones moves himself up the ranks:
Bones Jones vs Lyoto Machida
Someone floated it in another thread but I like
Forrest v Toney. The reality is Forrests time as a "top level" fighter is quickly running out. A fight with Toney accomplishes one of two things.
1 - Forrests destroys Toney and embarasses would be aging boxers from entering MMA at high levels
2 - Toney Embarrasses Forrest and thinks he really is good at this MMA thing and it sets up a title shot where Rua or Machida lay waste to his ***.
Either way would be good for MMA. Gotta market Forrest the best you can while he is still marketable.

Please explain how beating Forrest Griffin in your debut mma fight would warrant a title shot

Shogun was gonna get one, but he lost.

you do realize shogun was a top 3 lhw in the world mma rankings coming into the ufc right? And Toney hasn't ever fought an mma fight.

just saying his first UFC fight was Forest and he would have gotten a title shot if he won, Brock got his after he lost to Mir and beat Herring.
who gets title shot is not a science or anything, like Roger getting one after losing to Fedor.

The Brock argument is relative but the shogun one I still feel is not. Anyway, I thought the Rogers/Overoid fight was non title?

eck, I guess I'll agree with you on Shogun, he was ranked number 1 by many, but it's his UFC fight, he has no experience fighting in a cage, and beating Forest would get him a title fight, really? at the time Forest came off the Jardin loss and had 1 win after that.. Forest at the time was a cannonfolder for Rua to go though and get a shot, but it just didnt' work out like they wanted.
Same with Cro Cop and Gozanga.
and Rogers/Roidreem is not a title shot last I heard, but who the hell knows that's going on in Strikeforce, I bet Coker don't even know what's going on half the time.

BJ Penn Vs Nick Diaz at 162.5
Click to expand...
Penn will continue to frolic in the land of 155 he's just obviously a step above everybody there including maynard! But maybe a catch weight of 160 penn vs Diaz! that would be a fun fight to watch! Granted diaz is prone to bleeding while penn is prone to punching in the face! I think penn wins this 9 out of ten times do to doctor stoppage (cut)!
Diego Sanchez vs. Kenny Florian part 2 at 155lbs! Diego is badass but this aint the same kenflo gettin tossed at 170!
brock vs fedor - Could Fedor blast him or would Brock lay on him to win
mousasi vs machida - Is mousasi as good as i think? Is machida realy that hard to grab or hit? (runner up rampage and rashad...i know i know it will happen now =P)
Anderson silva vs. henderson 2 - very pissed they did not give henderson shot #2 because I think he would have had a much better chance to take spider out... silva is so good I think you have to have fought him once in order to know what youa re up against and find a way to beat him....all the other MW have very little chance to beat silva
Shields vs GSP - no one in UFC can beat GSP...lets see if shields could
BJ vs. Aoki - next to brock vs fedor this would be my next fave matchup
Faber vs aldo - another fight i have wanted to see since also came on the scene in WEC...and is happening..
Page vs torres - this one could happen too....and probably will at some point
Let’s See
Vasquez vs Carwin vs Brock (three amazing wrestlers with great strength and punching power)
Kimbo vs Rampage (I know no one likes Kimbo but you know they would stand and bang and that make life interesting)
Wanderlei Silva vs Vitor Belfort (legendary battle with two of the best ever)
Alves Thiago vs Diego Sanchez (two high energy young talented fighters)
Faber vs Penn (Faber would have to come up to 155... let’s be honest I just would like to see Penn beat Faber's face in)
