A whole lot of shakin' up has been going on in the UFC the last few months. Here's some scraps I think we need to see, please add your own.


125 lb.
None. Let DJ defend his title 10x and cut the division and roll them all into 135lb. 125lbs is too small for most MMA fighters except for a handful. Johnson has decimated nearly all comers there's no buzz in the division. Kill it off.


135 lb.
Garbrandt needs to win one or two more before getting a title shot. He's beaten cans and needs to pass an actual test.

Garbrandt vs. Lineker

Dillashaw handled Assuncao, so lets see TJ get his rematch against Cruz while Garbrandt gets through a tough opponent. Miesha losing her belt means Caraway isn't a story and he gets passed over. Maybe he can fight Almeida.


145 lb.
Conor has to defend that belt next or fight Mayweather and make $50 Million.

I'd like to see Holloway v. Edgar. If McGregor gives up the belt I'd like to see Jeremy Stephens get a shot at the belt if the first crack doesn't go to Holloway.

If Pettis' career hasn't been USADA'd if he wins this weekend I'd like to see Pettis vs. Bermudez.


155 lb.
Pretty meh about this division. Only thing I know is Khabib deserves jackshit. He's fought once in nearly 3 years. Give me Khabib vs. Will Brooks. Ferguson v. Alvarez. RDA vs. Porier. and Chiesa vs. Barboza.


170 lb.
Wonderboy v. Woodley is apparently the fight.

Condit v. Maia is in a couple days. Let's see more of Mike Perry knocking people out and acting like a tard. Perry v. Gunnar Nelson. Perry v. Hendricks. Perry v. Gastelum Perry v. Ellenberger

Also Cerrone v. Hendricks could draw some $


quote:

185 lb.

We get Bisping v. Henderson II soon.

Should we look for Rockhold and Weidman to hook up again shortly afterwards?

I'd like to see Mousasi v. Romero and Whittaker v. Jacare

Hope to see Tim Kennedy fight again in this lifetime.


205 lb.
Rumble vs. Jones. That is all.



<265 lb.
Heavyweight has pretty much been a circle jerk of fighters rotating fights through pool play.

Just give me the new guy Ngannou against everybody ahead of him in the rankings one by one.

It'll never happen, but I would love to see Conor vs. Cowboy at 155 or 170. I think that would be an intriguing match-up.

I also think Conor will have to vacate his title because I don't think he can get back down to 145.

Lets kill all the birds with one stone. DJ vs. Dom at 135. Garbrandt vs. TJ.

I think Conor does FMM or Alvarez.

Thats a dumb opinion.

I want to see Bisping lose this JUST so we can have Hendo vacate and have an old school Middleweight tourney. Bisping, Rockhold, Weidman, Romero, Jacare, and then some WC like Mousasi/Hall/Brunson.

Rumble vs. Jones. That is all.

As much as I want to punish Jones via murder by Rumble. Gotta give Rumble the shot vs. DC.

I think the low key fight (think FS1 card Co-Main shite) would be Ngannou vs Derrick Lewis.

I'm really disappointed that Cain didn't step up to avenge against Werdum when Travis Browne got hurt but I guess he's been told he's getting the Stipe/Overeem winner.

Diaz/Lawler 2 would be great for the MSG card.
Isn't Pettis at 145 now?

Yikes, Pettis looks like shite at 145 right now for the weigh in tomorrow morning...

Yeah I'm just thinking of fights I'd want to see. Diaz and Pettis need the right type of fight so they don't just get bullied around the cage.

"You're looking good at 145, Anthony." I think DC needs glasses.
