Title Fights down the line... *spoilers*

[Grant Ellis]

Sean Sherk vs. Hermes Franca

Matt Serra vs. Matt Hughes

Anderson Silva vs. (Rich Franklin or Yushin Okami)

Rampage Jackson vs. Dan Henderson - UFC vs. PRIDE

Randy Couture vs. Gabriel Gonzaga
------------------------------------------------------------

Sherk vs. Franca is the working man's fight.
Serra vs. Hughes is the grappler's dream.
Silva vs. one of those two is the rematch of the year.
Jackson vs. Henderson is PRIDE > UFC :X (HAH! I tease. ;) )
Couture vs. Gonzaga is a legend vs. a developing powerhouse.

I never thought I would see this lineup for title fights though!

Rampage Jackson vs. Dan Henderson - UFC vs. PRIDE

lol. that shouldnt count as a pride vs ufc fight. it just doesnt feel right to say even though its technically true.

[Grant Ellis]

That's kind of the point.
PRIDE twice former contender vs. The man who beat the man.

I can't help but look at who we've got and feel Shogun is the best in the world at the moment, but I haven't seen him fight a top guy in a while.

[heckyl]

and he wont for his first fight in ufc either. he will fight sean salmon or some shit.

No way. They're going to put henderson straight in with Jackson. Am pretty sure of that.

And I don't expect to see salmon back anytime soon. Saw the Belcher fight and Salmon's performance was useless beyond words.

^I think Heck was talking about shoguns first fight.

oh yeah. just re-read it.

good god, Shogun would murder Salmon....

I'd love to see Silav vs Okami in the UFC with the belt on the line, or not.

Hendo bs Rampage I am not overly interested in though. I like Hendo, always have, but shogun or some other UFC fighter would have been far better for Rampage's first defence.

stop using our words you vile colonial....

you don't see me banging on about sidewalks and elevators do you? you rotten sod....:)

[majorcunningham]

someone posted the other day that they'd like to see machida as shogun's first opponent.

i think that would be awesome...

[( o Y o )]

I think Ryoto should be dropped by UFC for making me sleepy, and make the move to IGF where I expect he wants to go.

Having said that, I want to see him against Shogun...BADLY.
