Fedor is the champ of pride. He doesn't need to prove himself because he has already done just that. IMO

CroCop v. Sylvia would be a good stand-up battle - I could see Mirko just chopping Timmy's legs away all night long (he would have to watch that his weak chin didn't get tapped by a straight punch from Timmy though)

I would love to see a Bob Sapp v. James Thompson battle of the disgustingly unathletic / uncoordinated big men - I've never seen two guys so huge throw such awkward looking punches - that would just be comical (although it would probably be rather boring and Thompson would probably take it)

Fedor definitely does not need any warm-up matches in UFC prior to a title shot - whenever he gets his shot at the belt Dana can bill that as a cross-promotion unifying of the belts thing - he's been the unquestioned number one fighter in the world since at least 2004 when he handled Coleman - people should have to have warm-up matches to face him - outside of the slight chance I would give Nog to beat him I don't think there is anyone in the UFC who has a shot at taking Fedor

Arlovski v. Kongo would be a very interesting match if they stay on their feet - however Andrei seems like he came to this last fight with a game plan and if he planned for Kongo I think he would utilize his Sambo background more so than trade shots (although he did apologize for a boring fight) - it was nice to see that look back in his eye last night and if this match-up did happen I think Andrei would take Kongo

I think Cro Cop vs Arlovski would be good, just to see if CC's head is in the game. Its a fight that CC can quite comfortably win, IF he wants to. If won, he'd have beaten another top 10 HW, and that would give him some awesome momentum, if he lost then he could see if he really wanted to be doing MMA still.

Sylvia would submit CC with an arm bar or gogo, something like that. Something impossible that no one would ever dream of. The way these fights have folded out so far this year im not sure CC would win. The impossible is posible all of a sudden WTF is going on ???? Be careful where you put your fantasy cash this year people.

I would like to see Sylvia vs. CC that would be a great fight. I was just shocked once again at the result of the main event last night. That is 2 times in April that its been proven that "a punchers chance" is a very true statement.

How about being CC getting KO's badly by your own weapon. Props to Gonzaga and I hope CC comes back aggressive.

Cro Cop Sylvia would be nice..both are coming off losses..Mirkos alittle more of an upset tho..i mean we all knew couture was very capable of beating Timmay but i never thought Gonzaga would kick CC in the head..anyways..i think seeing how their both coming off a loss would be a descent matchup..But with the HW division stacked..its hard to tell..with all the talent there..really shouldnt be hard to find someone to match up with.Arlovski,Kongo,Nog,Vera, and maybe if Gonzaga can beat couture and possible rematch for Cro Cop...

I think CC vs Sylvia would make the most sense. A win over Sylvia should be enough to move CC back up into contention for the title.

I thought Dana said that Arlovski would get a title shot if he beat Werdum?

what do u guys think of Gonzaga vs Fedor? I think it'd be interesting stylewise. A big heavy grappler with solid strikes would pose problems fro Fedor but I see Fedor picking him apart and going for a Unanimous Decision or a 4th or 5th round TKO.

i would love to see crocop fight arlovski that would be awesome but i think they will give him an easier fight next time around....

IMO they will want to build him back up for the casual fans and the people that just watch ufc they wont have seen the best of him like they did in pride

Gonzaga is nothing like Randleman. He is calculating, and dominated CroCop. Randleman's win was a fluke, nothing more.

Machida vs. Lambert or Forrest if he beats Ramirez

CC and Sylvia would be great. In theory, CC beats his ass and after a win like that is right back in the thick of things.
Arlovski v Couture is interesting.
Gonzaga v any of the big dudes Arlovski, Sylvia, Big Nog or obviously Couture is intriguing.
Fedor and Josh is a fight I've been dying to see forever.
Thompson v Sylvia would prove to everyone that Sylvia is a very good HW again.
If Tim fights CC, Big Nog, Josh or Fedor he gets abused.
I'm just curious to see if Gonzaga is as real as he seems.
Vera v Sylvia or Arlovski would prove the kind of fighter Vera is.
I think Big Nog will school Vera right now.

SO MANY GREAT POSSIBLE MATCHUPS!!! VERY EXCITING!!!

I wanna see CC vs Kongo. CC is way faster but Kongo has way heavier hands.

I believe that Gonzaga's win was not a fluke. He is young and will be a force to be reckoned with for many years.
That said I think that Fedor would do to GG what he did to everybody else. Get on top and GnP for a bit then pull off a sub.
