So Frankie Edgar retained his Lightweight belt by beating Gray Maynard at UFC 136. In light of this, I figured I'd make a post with the top 5 UFC fights I'd like to see happen soon. Comment below on which fights you would like to see.
5.Frankie Edgar vs Sean Sherk
This might be a bit of a surprise choice, but when Sherk is not plagued by injuries, he's a class act. Edgar showed his dominance by beating Maynard, but Sean Sherk would represent a completely different opponent: somebody who is good on the ground and somebody who is impossible to submit. It can't happen for a while because of Sherk's injuries, but when he recovers this fight is a must.
4.Anderson Silva vs Michael Bisping
The man from Manchester is underrated. He's not got 3 victories in a row and if he beats Dan Miller in December, he deserves this fight. Even though he will almost surely not win, Bisping is a true fighter and he doesn't give up. Silva would have a different challenge on his hands and it would be a way more interesting fight than say Silva vs Okami.
3.Cain Velasquez vs Shane Carwin
The fight that everybody was asking for was Velasquez vs Dos Santos, and that is now going to happen at UFC 139. But assuming Velasquez wins, I would like to see him fight Shane Carwin. Even though he was beaten by Dos Santos, it really was a gritty, gutsy performance from Carwin and I think Velasquez would have his hands full. I pretty sure Velasquez would not be able to knock him out.
2.Jon Jones vs Rashad Evans
Jon 'Bones' Jones has beaten everybody there is to be beat in the light heavyweight division. Bar one man. Rashad Evans. Evans is plagued by injury, but the moment he is fit, this fight has to happen. He is the only man left who can beat Jon Jones. It really would be a blockbuster fight and a really close match up. Jon Jones has no rivals in the heavyweight division if you exclude Evans, and every fight is a bit boring, as you already know the outcome. A win for Jon Jones. A fight against Evans however would change that.
1.Anderson Silva vs Georges St. Pierre
Could it really have been anything else? This is the dream fight EVERYBODY wants to see, and I hope to God it happens before Silva retires. GSP would have to move up a weight class, but it shouldn't be too much of a problem. This fight would show who the best fighter in the UFC is. Simple as that. Anderson Silva is being called the G.O.A.T, but I think he can only genuinely be called that once he has fought and beaten GSP. THIS FIGHT HAS TO HAPPEN!!!
