What is the Tastiest fight that could possibly be put together in the UFC in any weight division for any of the belts , putting aside friendships , training team friendships and everything else what is actually out there at the minute , here is a few that i can think of :
Lyoto Machida - Anderson Silva 205 lb Title
Lyoto Machida - Rampage 205 lb Title
Anderson Silva - Wanderlei Silva 180 lb Tiltle
Anderson Silva - GSP 180 lb Title
GSP - BJ Penn 3 , 170 lb Title (Providing Penn destroys Sanchez)
BJ Penn vs Shinya Aoki 155 lb Title (Providing Aoki man's up and joins the organisation everyone wants to see him in)

It's the 185 title, and nobody really wants Wandi-AS, we love Wandi too much for him to go out like that
sadly it's the truth.
AS vs Machida gets allot of hype, but I honestly don't want it.
AS vs GSP....If GSP can add some weight, and really wants it to happen, lets do it.
BJ vs Aoki grappling match would be legit, but BJ would destroy Aoki on the feet, and Aoki dosen't have the tools to get BJ to the ground.
BJ vs GSP III, Nobody really wants this other than BJ...and me, but I'm in the small minority.
Kongo vs Barry vs Yvel vs JDS any order
Palhares vs Maia
Those are MY picks
The most craved for fight in the MMA community as a whole...probably Fedor vs Lesnar to be honest.

I like your comeback comments they do have a certain degree of truth in all of them .
Lesnar , Fedor isnt gonna happen , we all know that unless Lesnar jumps ship 3 or 4 fights down the line , providing Carwin doesnt knock his head off !!!
However Palhares Maia id rather see on a grappling mat than in the Octagon !!!!!
Machida , Silva is the fight everbody wants , barring them 2 .

I think Vitor vs Anderson is a pretty big deal, really the last true middleweight left in the path of Anderson silva.

I agree. The most deserving now as well. Who else has blasted through Franklin? Machida and Anderson. Henderson beat him, but barely. I think Vitor is the last one left that is interesting.

Yeah after Vitor, there really is no one besides rematchs, including Okami. But everyone else will have been beaten, yeah Jake Shields is technically a middle weight now, but he's truely a welter. Akiyama provides no threat and I think the Maia hype has finally died out. So after Vitor, Anderson has retty much achieved all he can at middleweight. Too bad Mousasi bumped up.

I really believe Fedor will be in the UFC by the end of 2010 or retire, and Lesnar will never jump ship, but Carwin does have a chance
The difference between Aoki/Penn and Palhares/Maia is that Penn would destroy Aoki standing, so it wouldn't be that competitive, while Palhares does posses better striking skills than Maia, not enough to make a huge difference. Palhares has pretty dam good GNP, while Maia is...Maia haha, i can see a very dynmaic fight in the cage, while a Grappling match could be a standstill dud like some high level black belt matches are (see Vinny vs Drysdale for example)
And I was reading Fighters Only magazine and Machida's dad pushed his sons to compete with one another and Lyoto actually fought his brother for the Karate championship in Brazil, it quoted a samarai saying that basically said you should fight anybody because samarai's are always on their own, so i could see Lyoto not minding this fight. But it could be different situation.

Thats an interesting point as at the minute its only Silva who has publicly stated he would not fight Machida , however with Machida looking seemingly unbeatable and Silva likewise they may be backed into a corner and have to fight each other , on the whole i agree with you while these two do look unbeatable and both have a phenominal skill set , they both counter strike and largely could make for an un eventfull fight .
I hope your thoughts on Fedor are true but if M1 dont change there attitude and Dana White is still breathing its a stale mate !!!!
On Penn Aoki , for me barring Sanchez Penn has cleaned out the division maybe not 1 by 1 like GSP and Silva have but by beating Florian in such a manner he really has stamped his authotiry on the division , and Aoki brings that unkown into the fight , yes true MMA fans know about Aoki and know Penn would demolish him but he's a champion in a neighbouring division and that always brings excitement to the party, in the meantime Florian gets 2 good wins under his belt and bang we have Penn Florian 2 , For me the only real fight that interests me for the elite @155

I like Penn/Maynard, and while Penn would of course be the favorite, Maynard has some tools that may challenge Penn more than KenFlo did.

AS vs Wandy. This feud needs to get settled before Wandy retires.

It already has. AS said that they made up and it was all a big misunderstanding.

Settled how, by Anderson Silva causing the first death in the UFC???
It's pin point accuracy and counter striking vs heavy hands and no head movement, how could you even think Wandy stands a chance?

Every time you think you want to see Machida fight Anderson Silva, remind yourself that Silva is a counter striker, who primarily waits until his opponent engages. Examples of fights where the opponent doesn't engage include Cote vs Silva and Leites vs Silva, which are also considered Anderson's two worst fights in his UFC career. Now, consider that what Machida is known for; elusiveness and running.
They aren't going to stand toe to toe and slug it out. They aren't going to engage. Even if they hated each other and wanted to rip each other's heads off, the fighting styles do not mesh well at all. Styles make fights, and this would be a colossal dud!

Hands down it's Fedor/Lesnar but, it'll never happen so I'll go with Vitor/Anderson.

What about:
Fitch vs Alves
Junior Dos Santos vs Cain Velasquez
Miguel Torres vs Urijah Faber ( Miguel needs to move up)
Parisan vs Kos
Nate Diaz vs Mac Danzig or rematch with Hermes Franca
Kenflo vs Jersey Boy (forgot his name)
Maynard vs Sherk or Guida
Diego Sanchez vs Tyson Griffin (after Diego loses)
Ricardo Almeida vs Maia or Poulhares
BJ vs Nick Diaz ( i know he's not in UFC).
Guillard vs Huerta
Man I could go on.
