So I've noticed that a few individuals want Weidman to fight Bisping for the title now while Whittaker sits out, and I believe that these people should have their tongue and hands removed to prevent decent society from being exposed to such dangerous nonsense, and they should be castrated to prevent them from breeding. But there aren't many other good options.

All 3 other top contenders are coming off loses. I've heard other people say Romero vs Bisping, but this also doesn't sit right. If Romero wins, we are guaranteed a rematch with Whittaker, who just decisively beat him, in which Romero is now the 'champ' and Whittaker the 'interim' champ. That's just kind of dumb.

Rather than shoehorning a MW contender in now who hasn't earned it, I'm actually on board for the GSP-Bisping fight now as a placeholder while the division sorts itself out again. It feels like Whittaker is the real champion anyway, so making this fight no longer feels like it is holding up the division.

Bisbing vs whittaker. Gsp can fuck off

Yoel vs jacare 2. Just cause they both want to fight soon and have fought everyone else. Both lost to whittaker and can be 1 win away if he doesnt capture the belt Should have been yoel vs rockhold but it didnt happen like that

Weidman vs brunson both coming off losing streaks and getting recent finishes

Gastelum vs boetsch hopefully kelvin gets whooped
Rockhold vs branch weird matchup

Anderson vs gsp is the only logical choice

Jotko vs hall

I don't know whos booked and who isnt but if i was a matchmaker you would get something like this

Whittaker is having surgery to repair an MCL if I heard correctly, so he's going to be out for a while.

So...

Bisping vs GSP (I still think the UFC wants to make this fight, regardless of what Dana says)

Rockhold vs Branch

Romero vs Jacare 2

Weidman vs Silva trilogy

That's how I think things will play out. Just my opinion.

GSP fight would be stupid. Weidman might be coming off a win after numerous loses but he has fought... GSP hasnt fought in what 3 plus years and some how he deserves a title shot? Lets face it he was beat down in the hendricks fight and slipped by with a decision. Bisping is sitting back while the top contenders hand each other losses. He is doing everything he can not to have to fight any of the top guys. If Whitaker cannot go then Weidman, Romero or Rockhold is the answer. Either of the 3 is fine by me, but GSP nah not util he has a fight or 2 at middleweight under his belt

I don't think their tongues and hands should be removed. Thats a tad bit extreme. Come on now

I like all of that except for Chris vs Andy 3... That's just pointless. I just want Silva to retire. No need to see him get starched by the top guys.

I would say Chris vs Jacare but it leaves out Yoel. Either of them vs Jacare. I would say Chris vs Brunson but even though it isn't rankings wise, it feels like a step down from Kelvin.

Chris vs Silva 3 doesnt make any sense to me either, at all...but it just seems like it's some bullshit the UFC would pull for ratings.

The solution at this point is Bisping vs anyone at all. My nan isnt doing anything much these days, she could step up.

She might even win.

The actual belt being on ice for seemingly a year or more isnt good. Whittaker is likely going to be out for ages too.

Whittaker vs Bisping is actually a good fight and I want to see it... just hope to all fuck it happens.

Silva does not want to fight Weidman a third time.

Brunson would beat Kelvin easily.

Did you not see Kelvin vs Weidman? Or Hendricks vs Boetsch? These 5'9 guys are not middleweights.

I want kelvin vs boetsch or brunson but for whatever reason the ufc will give him camozzi or herman or dan kelly to get him back in the win column. Hes not disciplined enough to be a ww

What about Kelvin vs Vitor & Tim? Or most of Lombard's career...? :p
Johny also wasn't doing too bad against Boetsch.
