Fights to make after UFC 155

Sorry this is late, I didn't get a chance to watch the main card until this afternoon so here we are. Velasquez impressed me big time, Loved the Miller/Lauzon and Garcia/Holloway fights, was happy to see Philippou and Wineland get their biggest UFC wins and Brunson, Okami and Jury put me to sleep lol.

Cain Velasquez - Overeem if he gets past Bigfoot
Junior Dos Santos - Hunt/Struve loser or Werdum if he loses to Big Nog... hard to make fights for JDS seeing as he's already fought or trains with most guys at the top of HW division
Jim Miller - Wiman/Grant winner or Rafael Dos Anjos
Joe Lauzon - Tavares/Nurmagomedov loser or Mark Bocek
Constantinos Philippou - Bisping/Belfort winner or Yushin Okami
Tim Boetsch - Mark Munoz or Rousimar Palhares
Yushin Okami - Costa Philippou, Cung Le or Hector Lombard
Alan Belcher - Bisping/Belfort loser
Derek Brunson - Nick Ring or Francis Carmont
Chris Leben - Karlos Vemola or Tom Lawlor
Eddie Wineland - Rafael Assuncao
Brad Pickett - Brian Bowles? Where has that guy been. Or Mike Easton
Erik Perez - Hugo Viana or Johnny Bedford
Byron Bloodsworth - Cut
Jamie Varner - Yves Edwards or Tibau/Dunham winner
Melvin Guillard - 1-4 in last 5, could get Cut or face someone like Mac Danzig or George Sotiropoulos
Myles Jury - Ross Pearson or John Makdessi
Michael Johnson - Anthony Njokuani or Fabricio Camoes
Todd Duffee - Pat Barry or Gonzaga/Rothwell winner
Phil De Fries - Jordan/Russow loser
Max Holloway - Pablo Garza or Matt Grice
Leonard Garcia - Cody McKenzie
John Moraga - Darren Uyenoyama or Benavidez/McCall winner
Chris Cariaso - Jussier Formiga

id like to see cain whoop on werdum or fight overeem/bigfoot winner. yushin okami should fight stann or lombard, i think both of them pose a serious challenge with their punching power, or the loser of bisping/belfort.

i gotta disagree with belcher fighting bisping or belfort even if its the loser. i think he should fight a guy like cung le or tim boetch. i think okami would be a better fight for either of those guys

I would love to see Hunt vs JDS.

Constantinos Philippou- Belfort/Bisping winner

I think ppou has fought enough grapplers for now let's see him against a guy not scared of standing.

I want to see Okami vs Palhares

I love Okami Lombard. It is a solid test for Lombard and stylistically, on paper, a tough fight for Okami. Okami excells at running rough shod over people in the grappling department and he is big and strong and muscles people to the ground, often from the clinch. With Lombard's judo background it'll be hard for Okami to outwork him in the clinch. It'll be interesting to see if Okami can get him down or if he has to strike with him. If he does end up striking with him it'll be interesting to see if Lombard can get inside on a much taller fighter in Okami and touch Okami's chin and put him to sleep.

Cain Velasquez - Overeem if he beats Silva or Werdum if Overeem loses (which I doubt will happen)
Junior Dos Santos - Hunt/Struve winner
Jim Miller - Rafael Dos Anjos
Joe Lauzon - Nate Diaz
Constantinos Philippou - Yushin Okami
Tim Boetsch - Mark Munoz makes sense
Yushin Okami - Costa Philippou
Alan Belcher - Stann/Wandy loser
Derek Brunson - Francis Carmont
Chris Leben - Riki Fukuda
Eddie Wineland - Rafael Assuncao
Brad Pickett - Mike Easton
Erik Perez - Caraway/Mizugaki winner
Byron Bloodsworth - Cut
Jamie Varner - Gomi/Sanchez winner
Melvin Guillard - Gomi/Sanchez loser
Myles Jury - Green/Volkmann winner
Michael Johnson - Reza Madadi
Todd Duffee - Pat Barry
Phil De Fries - Shane Del Rosario
Max Holloway - Marcus Brimage
Leonard Garcia - Cody McKenzie
John Moraga - Benavidez/McCall winner
Chris Cariaso - Jussier Formiga

Cain Velasquez - Werdum
Junior Dos Santos - Overeem
Jim Miller - Rafael Dos Anjos
Joe Lauzon - Yves Edwards
Constantinos Philippou - Bisping

My 2¢:
Cain gets Nog/Werdum winner, it's already been stated.
JDS vs Overrem regardless of the results.
Leben vs Vemola
Yushin vs Costa
Belcher vs Boetsch

Cain vs overeem/big foot
JDS vs cormier

Really? I don't think I'm in a hurry to see Cain Bigfoot again

Great list, I think all of your MW fights are spot on. I hate Miller vs RDA, but it seems inevitable for them to fight. I just think RDA will clown Miller and it gives me a sad.

It blows my mind that Guillard is looking his career in the face when just a year ago he was bordering on a title shot.
