VS
A few things, before we get started:
-This is just for fun. I realize it would never happen. Too much unnecessary risk for the UFC (they have nothing to gain and everything to lose from doing something like this). And these are just a few examples- the rosters are big enough that you could go wild and have all sorts of fights- these are just a few that would keep me awake at night like a kid waiting for Xmas until the fights started.
Michael Chandler vs Eddie Alvarez
Champion vs champion, and it completes the trilogy between them (with the score currently at 1-1). The previous two fights were absolute wars, and when this fight happens someday, I have no reason to believe it won't be as well.
Liam McGeary vs Daniel Cormier
Another champion vs champion fight. The only two fighters that DC has really struggled with at LHW are Jones and Gus, and while McGeary doesn't have Bones's wrasslin, he has the same body type, his striking is good, and he threatens with submissions from his back.
Chael Sonnen vs Anderson Silva
It would be worth it, if nothing else, for the avalanch of viagra jokes Chael would send Anderson's way
Patricio Pitbull vs José Aldo
Of course, if Aldo doesn't actually retire, cools down and stays with the UFC (not looking too likely at this point). Pitbull has wanted this fight for years.
MVP vs Stephen Thompson
No need to even explain why this would be great, right? It would be like watching video game characters acting out arcade moves in real life.
Rory Macdonald vs Robbie Lawler
It could never live up to how great the 2nd fight was, but knowing both guys, they sure as hell would try.
Anastasia Yankova vs PVZ
Here's why this fight would be great (no, not just the weigh in: put it back in your pants fellas). Both girls are the epitome of "not taken seriously as a fighter because of their looks" for their respective companies. I think they'd both walk in with a chip on their shoulder about wanting to prove everyone wrong and show that they belong.
Wanderlei Silva vs Vitor Belfort
Years in the making.....
Melvin Manhoef vs Hector Lombard
The man who should be the current Bellator MW champion vs the man who never lost the title.
Douglas Lima vs Cowboy Cerrone
Fireworks.
