I think the OP ideas are solid. Schaub/Gonzaga winner against Mir as a co-main event would be neat. Alternatively (Not 100% sure about the injury but...) do the Big Nog rematch. I don't understand the clambering for a Nelson / Mir fight. It is somewhat appealing but lets not forget that Nelson is coming off a loss, and that Mir with a win behind him is a big name to be given to Roy after losing to Dos Santos. Yes, Nelson's fight was 10x more appealing to the fans than Mir's against CroCop, but it's not like Roy looked really dangerous or impressive against Dos Santos, he was comprehensively beaten and the areas he needs to improve in were unmasked in a big way.
Bader-Jones is a great fight imo. Only reason I suspect it might not happen is because it would undoubtedly derail one of the UFCs young up and comers. Then again, they still have a stack of fights left so for either to recover from a loss would be no big deal.
Lytle-Diaz = Sweet.
I don't think Matt Serra will fight for a while, don't see any reason for him to rush into another match up.
I'd also like to see CB take a bigger step up. Maybe even Maia, not sold on that though.
Mitrione and McCorkle won't fight, they're training buddies. Mitrione - Struve?
Just a note on CroCop, lets not forget this was a replacement fight. If he is making his last appearance in the octogan, I'd like to see him get fully prepared, 100% fit and it be an intriguing matchup. One more fight, imo.
