Paul Daley vs Michael Venom Page



No brainer. Daley just got some momentum back, and Page won't lose any of his no matter what happens with his boxing match. A main event in front of a wild UK crowd will be insane. Winner gets next shot at the title.

Patricky Pitbull vs Goiti Yamauchi




Pitbull can ask all day, but he's not getting a shot at Primus if Chandler is healthy (which he claims he is). So this is the next best thing. Goiti just walked through Piccolatti and proved he belongs with the elite. Make it a number one contender match and this could headline a show in Brazil.

Benson Henderson vs Caveman Rickels




Benson has said he wants to fight more often, now that he's healed his knee and has also claimed to want to put on exciting fights (though last night didn't help that claim). He fought the way he did because of Pitbull's one punch fight ending power, something Caveman doesn't have. Caveman asked for this fight, and throws caution to the wind, so an exciting fight is just about guaranteed.

Roy Nelson vs Justin Wren



I'm ready for round 3. I'm sure Wren is too. A rematch with Big Country (they fought in the Ultimate Fighter) will bring much appreciated attention to his Fight for the Forgotten cause, and a win over Big Country would move him into title contention.

Aaron Pico vs Gaston Reyno




I'd say Pico should fight Brandon Laroco, who himself just won his Bellator debut in impressive fashion over Gaston Bolanos, but I imagine he asks for another veteran. And seeing as how he just crushed a guy who had a record of 7-3, 6-2-2 Gaston Reyno seems about right.

Interesting choice in Gastón op. I'm very curious to see whom they match pico up against

It's a tough situation. On one hand, pico has pretty much set the bar. Both his opponents have had 10 fights. On the therbhand, kid is only 1-1. Do you give him a 2-3 scrub now?

Reyno is. It a bad choice as a man with experience, but doesn't really have brutal power to stun pico.

Chandler/primus rematch makes all the sense in the world. It's a warranted rematch for sure.

MVP/Daley at home is a huge fight for the U.K... especially considering that Daley is coming of a solid win. MVP needs to do his boxing thing and come back. I'm sure they can pack the house with the beef they have.

Just read the pico piece. He shouldn't fight laroco. Laroco proved himself to be an asset. He is young, has the look, and has the style to be something at FW imo. I was extremely impressed by how he handled Bolaños. Build him up. Let him become something in the division.

Have Pico beat up Claxton. Give Patricky Pitbull a title shot, have Benson fight Brandon Girtz. Have Goiti Yamauchi fight Derek Campos, and have Josh Thomson fight Micahel Chandler at the Forum on January 20th, Daley vs MVP is a no brainer.

Cutman Matt if you see this let Rich Chou and Scott Coker know about this. Thanks!

I think he's learned a lot working with the McKees. Seems to be a good place for him. Hopefully they don't teach him how to cheat with the fence, and they just teach him the good stuff.

It's only cheating if you get a point deducted. :D
