I'm pretty disinterested with all of those fights. I would much rather see BJ fight GSP, because none of those guys are going to beat him.

I agree, and the same goes for GSP, but honestly, they've still gotta go out and defend a couple times before we can call the division theirs, ya know?

Hell, I don't even think A. Silva should be moving up yet, when there's still a couple fights left for him(and he probably wouldn't be if it weren't for Affliction), and he's defended 4 (ok, 3...) times in one of the weaker divisions. GSP and BJ haven't even defended once yet, in fairly stacked divisions.

Serra wasn't gonna beat GSP, and Forest wasn't gonna beat Shogun, etc, etc.

Whichever fight is more exciting will probably get the shot

Huerta v Florian (most likely this fight)
Tyson v Aurelio

I think the list goes in this order, just my opinion...

Florian/Huerta

Griffin

Sherk

Stevenson

Clementi

Diaz

then it would be other guys like Aurelio, Guida, Maynard, Gamburyan, Spencer Fisher, Frankie Edgar, and Hermes Franca...

Exactly what I've been saying, I was WAITING for them to put Silva vs Kampmann!


But anyways I think I'd love to see Florian Vs. Penn just because of their styles. It would end up being a stand up war IMO because they're both dangerous on the ground. BJ would win.

But I think leaving Huerta off that list was a oversight. Huerta NEEDS to get through Florian and Florian NEEDS to prove he's better than Huerta.
