After reading a thread earlier, it got me to thinking of fights I'd like to see. Here are a few for me:
Dan Henderson vs Chael Sonnen
Machida vs Anderson Silva
Fedor vs Couture

these are fights that just make sense to me that maybe should happen and are still posibilities.
What do you have?

Silva would murder Machida...

Obvious answer is Silva vs Jones or Silva vs St Pierre. Also think Bendo vs Aldo would be good.

I know it will never happen, but this right here!! Or Shogun vs. Anderson. Or Anderson/Vitor 2
Jose Aldo vs. Pettis
Pettis/Bendo 2
Khabilov vs. anyone elite
Cormier vs. Jon Jones
I could go on & on

Im wary of Jones vs Silva, simply because I'd like to see Silva vs Machida 1st, to see how Silva would do before being confident that he should fight Jones.

Over time I've lost interest in seeing Silva/GSP. Silva and Jones on the other hand is another story.

That's way too small for Silva, when I saw him fight in person he was AT LEAST 220lbs when he walked out to the cage. I would want to see them fight at 185 and Jones-Silva at 205.

Anderson's fought at 167 before.

I know Anderson walks around 220ish, which is why I like the 177.5, it would force him to be closer to GSPs size and make things more interesting. He'll still have a huge reach advantage, but will the weight cut mess him up and allow him to be more suspect to the take down? I'd like to see him with some pressure on him

He could just slim down 7-10 pounds instead of cutting it. Certainly doable.

Anderson trying to make 177 would be career suicide.

Didn't he weigh in at 183 his last fight? I don't think 6 more pounds would be "career suicide", especially if he took his time and slimmed down for several months first

My #1 pick. GSP wins though at that weight.

Not too interested in Anderson/Bones. It would be a mismatch and Anderson might get fricked up so bad he might never be the same.

Maybe Anderson/Belfort 2. Or Anderson/Hendo 2.
