GSP-> BJ (pretty obvious with BJ walking in the cage)

Lesnar-> Kongo (talented HW, but good fight for Brock as far as styles goes)

Herring-> Gabe Gonzaga

Florian-> Edgar or winner sherk vs Tyson

Huerta-> Edgar or Danzig (if he beats Guida)

i'll just go with main card

st pierre will fight penn
fitch probably karo, or yoshida but i would love to see him fight hughes
lesnar i think will fight coleman next
herring will fight sanchez or carwin
huerta might fight rich clementi or rematch with matt wiman
maia might fight palhares or almeida next
mcdonald will fight quarry
manny i don't know maybe diaz
emerson is another enigma
florian should fight for title but i doubt it would be a sherk rematch

Losers:

Ryan Thomas- Matt Arroyo
Steve Bruno- Brodie Farber
Andre Gusmao- Reese Andy
Luke Cummo- Probably out, if not then J-Rock
Dan Evanson- Brad Morris
Manny Gamburyan- Shannon Gugerty
Jason MacDonald- Winner of McFedries/Massenzio
Heath Herring- Eddie Sanchez
Roger Huerta- Winner of Pellegrino/Tavares
Jon Fitch- Winner of Parisyan/Yoshida

Winners:


Ben Saunders- Good solid win, would like to see how he does against Brad Blackburn.

Chris Wilson- Winner of Chonan/Carneiro

Jon Jones- Looks to be a good young prospect, bring in a newcomer or have him fight loser of Boetsch/Lee

Tamden McCrory- George Sotiropoulus

Chieck Kongo- I think Brock would be the ideal opponent.

Rob Emerson- Matt Wiman

Demian Maia- I do like the winner of Tocquino/Henderson or winner of Kampmann/Marquardt.

Brock Lesnar- Wants to fight the best the UFC has to offer, and i'd say the UFC sets him up with Kongo.

Kenny Forian- He SHOULD fight BJ for the 155 title, even if BJ fights in December @ 170, his fight after that should be against Florian.

GSP- He SHOULD fight the winner of Alves/Sanchez (mostly Alves) but might fight BJ in December.

Herring vs Eddie Sanchez
Lesnar vs McCully or Dan Evenson or Brad Morris(because if lesnar faced kongo it would just be like the herring fight, lesnar would win UD)
maia vs almeida- that would be crazy

Excellent matchmaking. Is your name Joe Silva? I've been thinking about Brock vs Shane for a while. After 87 I've gotta go with Brock. He'd push Carwin to hard.
