i'd like to see him against jardine, that would be a good fight, or possibly the loser in the liddell/silva fight

i think its got to be jardine or forrest. soko and machida are set to fight each other, youve got chuck and wandy(who silva probably wouldnt fight, same goes for shogun so thats the last ill mention him here), so i dont see any step up in competition for him unless he waits for a few months until these other 2 fights pan out, or fights forrest or jardine.
EDIT:i forgot to mention rashad, bisping or tito so here goes. rashad makes some sense as does tito, so i could see either of those matchups happening, bisping coming off of a loss isnt going to be a great choice here IMO, and im guessing he gets a lambert or bonnar next, not a step up to thiago.

I think some mixture of Lambert, Thiago, Forrest, Jardine...
Any comination of the above would work for me...
There's just too many guys that could possibly have a title shot, and something needs to be done about thinning the heard...
I'd really like to see a rematch between Forrest and Jardine... And where the hell's Lambert been since he KO'd Babalu... He should be back in the mix sometime soon now... With Silva having a short fight against HA, it might just be the perfect matchup...

I say the winner of Soko/Machida or Jardine. I think he's the best LHW that's not Wandy, Shogun, Forrest or Rampage. He's a beast. Heavy hands, quick, EXCELLENT ground game.
He's the future LHW champ. He's a monster and I'd poop myself if I ever had to face him...

I think this guy is the brutal future of 205. He's young, quick, explosive, pretty good striker, and his ground game is beastly and it can hang with the best ground games in MMA and I assume training at Chutebox and plus some of the wars he's been in, I think he has a pretty good chin don't you think?
I personally want him to fight Soko or Machida. I think he could easily fight the winner since average MMA fans don't even STILL know who Machida is. So even if Machida wins I can see him Fighting Soko or Machida. I think they would be absolute WARS IMO. I just think Thiago gets in trouble some times letting the fight stay on it's feet as much as he lets them. But his record still hasn't been tarnished from it s don't stop I guess. Plus it would help me settle a few bets on the board if he fights either of them. 
-edit-
Crap I forgot and didn't see I already posted here lol

I really wish Babalu was still in the UFC just so he could fight him. That would be a solid fighter that could move him up the ladder potentiall to the top five and either guarentee him a title shot or at least a contender fight.
