I know - it sounds far fetched but give it a chance. Hughes has had major trouble against Halman. Halman would take this fight seriously and train hard. I know he is an unknown to many casual fans but with a little background and a lot of publicity this could be a major draw. I think it would get better ratings than Validation. Thanks ------ Dennis Halman vs. Matt Hughes

Barnett had gone on the record saying he stills feels the HW title belongs to him and has discounted the skills of UFC heavyweight contenders i.e. Gonzaga. I say let's see if Gonzaga is the future of the heavyweight division. Although I don't really care for Barnett, let's face it; he's slick on the ground, experiened and would add depth the a division that is lost without The Natural. I would also like to see Frank Mir vs. Gonzaga for a similar fight stylistically. Gabe Gonzaga vs. Josh Barnett

Everything would be on the line for both fighters: Hughes, his legacy. Fitch, his future... a world class hall of fame champ vs. a world-class up and comer prospect who's destroyed everyone in his way. I'd definitely vote for that fight. Especially since Karo already fought. I know it’s been said repeatedly, but Jon Fitch vs. Matt Hughes would have everything, and be an awesome display of grappling.

Both were great and seemed to have slipped recently. It would be a great make or break fight and I know it would be an exciting watch.

Evans just fought, Rua just had surgery. The rematch would take place almost exactly 1 yr after their first fight. Depending on how Wandy does against Chuck, Jardine vs Griffin could very well legitimize the true #1 contender at LHW Jardine vs Griffin 2…theyre both coming off Huge wins.

However, I'm pretty out of shape right now so I would need six months to get in range to where I could cut to that target. Plus, I doubt Ryan wants to go down to that weight. I can do 185 lbs. I'd could probably get to that in two weeks but I'd want to get down to that weight the right way and I'd need at least three months of full training before I took any kind of fight. If FightLinker beats me he will win a lifetime supply of 5 Oz. t-shirts. Derek, I’d be most competitive at 170 lbs.
