Never thought I'd say this but I'm looking forward to seeing Volkmann fight again. Grant or Wiman would both be excellent opponents.

It makes 0 sense at the moment but a fight I would like to see down the line would be Ellenberger vs Alves but for now he should fight The winner of BJ and Rory.
Jay Heiron vs John Maguire
Bigfoot vs Mark Hunt
Travis Browne vs Shane Del Rosario
Jussier Da Silva vs John Lineker/Urushitani loser
Danny Castillo vs Shane Roller 2
Mike Pierce vs John Hathaway
Aaron Simpson vs Rick Story

Justin Edwards vs Gunnar Nelson is a match up I can see happening.

Rico, most of your match-up picks are pretty sound I think. Though I think it could also be considered to book Bigfoot vs. Struve. It would make for a neat visual in the ads and what not.

Bigfoot vs Kongo
Mike Pierce vs a wrestler. his fights are usually awful cause he can one trick pony them to a win, but like was assumed against Fitch, you stick a solid wrestler in there and a different fight would happen. and that's exactly what happened.
i like the idea of Volkman vs Wiman
Hieron vs Nobody. Idon't want to see that guy fight ever again

In his last five fights he's fought three wrestlers - Hendricks, Kos and A-Train. Dude's had wrestlers in front of him plenty.

Like the Holloway/Nunes matchup a lot, but not sure if they'll give Max that big of a step up in competition.
