ill take the opposite of what this guy has

Matt Hughes vs. Josh Koscheck - I'll pray for a double KO... This could possibley be the most highly telelvised collegiate wrestling match in history... Hopefully Hughes can get him in that crusifix thing and smash him up

Mach Sakurai vs. Karo Parysian - They say styles make fights, and this one would be an awesome matchup! I got Mach taking it because of his superior standup... Great fight anyway it turns out though

Kenny Florian vs. Shinya Aoki - Kenny keeps looking better, but Aoki's rubber guard is quickly becoming a thing of legend... RESPECT THE RUBBER GUARD!

Frank Shamrock vs. RIch Franklin - Another really good matchup that could go either way... I think I'll take Rich though, if for no other reason than I would just like to see Shammy get "Quarry'd" (sorry Nate)

Mark Hunt vs Gabriel Gonzaga - Mark Hunt is a monster, and would make GG cry

Michael Bisbing vs. Rashad Evans - I gotta take Evans in this one, I don't think it would be that exciting of a fight with a lot of LnP, but he would overpower Bisbing rather easily, IMO

I dont think GG would time to cry, Hunt would punch him straight into his coffin!

Matt Hughes vs. Josh Koscheck - Hughes Unanimous Dec
Mach Sakurai vs. Karo Parysian - Parysian Unanimous Dec
Kenny Florian vs. Shinya Aoki - Florian 2nd Round Submission (RNC)
Frank Shamrock vs. RIch Franklin - Shamrock 3rd Submission (Heel Hook)
Mark Hunt vs Gabriel Gonzaga Hunt 1st KO - Superman Punch right in the Grill
Michael Bisbing vs. Rashad Evans - Bisping 2nd Submission (Armbar)

Jee my earlier thread was easier than this one. I'm a pat myself on the back, Mo did good with this one. Let me put some articulation jam on this. Imaginationu.

This would be a great matchup, two world class wrestlers, who are all around fighters and can strike and do every thing a great fighter needs to do. Fighting is not about future, or past, it's about now. Matt Hughes is declining, not steeply, but enough, plus the welterwieght division has gotten much better, in those earlier years look at his opponents. Josh is at least as good a wrestler, I say better, and a better striker. When they strike, Kos will get the better of it, and Hughes has expierience, there will be some sticky spots in the fight where Kos will almost get submitted or take some pounding, but I see a clear Koscheck UD.



This would be a very exciting fight. Probably the most of this set of fights. I think Karo can deal with any striker, like if he fought Diego again, I think he would win, cause he can strike himself and cause he is immensely strong, I think Karo will get a decision in this one. His judo is very hard to deal with, and he takes a lot of hits and keep coming at you. When Mach has fought Welterwieghts, he's had his share of losses, Karo always gives anyone a tough feat. I see a clear Karo UD.

I have to be honest, I have not seen that much of Aoki. There's just something to be said of Ken's craftiness and his instincts. This is probably a iffy pick, but I take Ken by decision even though he says he finishes fights. Straight straight.

This one was my most flip flopping one, what it came down to, in the last half dozen years Frank Shamrock has been rusty, while Rich Franklin has been, outside of Anderson and an early fight, tearing it up. Franklin is pretty good in most spots, and mostly a striker, Shamrock could get him in a submission, but I think Shamrocks's stubborness will cost him the fight. What Shamrock is , is a terrific all around MMA Artist. But he will try to stand toe to toe with Rich, and Rich will get a lot of shots in and by the time Frank decides to use his superior wrestling and submission attempts he will be too far behind in the fight. Franklin by UD.

This one I had to look at from a lot of different views and try to play again a smattering of times in my head. Gonzaga would stay close to Hunt, and use his jujitsu. Hunt would have his moments, but I see Gonzaga sqeaking out a decision. Gonzaga by UD

Ahh this one could happen in the next half year, here's the thing. Rashad is more polished, and yeah Michael has not fought the best of compitiion, but he is one of those guys that is stronger than he looks. A fierce and accurate striker, also good with submissions, unless Rashad can take him down early, and lay and pray, I see a back and forth fight, crowd pleasing, fight of the year candidate,and I see a Bisbing punch round 2 TKO. Bisbing trains with Rampage at Big Bear, that is a great training partner, save the top 5 LH's in the world Bisbing is gonna match up great against everybody and continue to move up the ranks.

Matt Hughes vs. Josh Koscheck = Split Decision either way
Mach Sakurai vs. Karo Parysian = Sakurai KO
Kenny Florian vs. Shinya Aoki = Aoki Sub
Frank Shamrock vs. RIch Franklin = RIch by Decision
Mark Hunt vs Gabriel Gonzaga = Hunt by KO
Michael Bisbing vs. Rashad Evans = Evans by Ground & Pound
