Ryan LaFlare VS Benson Henderson would be pretty interesting.

Godofredo Pepey-Jeremy Stephens
Pepey got 3 strait first round finishes.
Maia-Ellenberger 3 rounder.

As much as I'd love to see this match, Gunnar/LaFlare, I think it is too soon for either one to tally another loss.
Gunnar has his niche market, and I believe LaFlare can still bring in his own audience, regardless of his blemished record now.
Ryan has that uncharted lacrosse territory on lock (snowboarding too..) A deviation from just wrestler turned striker vibe imho
edit- I realize they have a common denominator, both with a loss to Maia, but that's why I'd like to see LaFlare be built back up and meet maybe another fight or 2 down the road..

^^Gunnar didn't lose to Maia *face palm*. It was Rick Story and Rick lost to Maia.
Carry on...

Same theory for me. It's too soon to derail Gunnar again (not saying it's an automatic loss for Gunnar but it's a high probability)
Heck I guess go ahead and make the Gunnar/LaFlare fight. My fandom is on Gunnar currently and think he takes it.

true, true...I just like Benson and not so much Gunnar so looked like a good win fight for Benson...
Laflare Mein or Thatch for Gunnar would be good I guess.

Gunnar loses to Story in a fight that exposed some serious holes in his game and you want him against Bendo?
