Want Silva vs. St. Pierre badly, but only after those two have no one left to beat in their own weight classes (I know, they're both running out of opponents).

I really wish UFC could figure out a way to get the premier heavyweights into the fold - not that Dana *needs* them, but the PPVs they'd be able to put on would be amazing /w Arlovski, Fedor, Barnett... Even having Silvia back might be nice - see him trade punches /w Brock or something.

I'd rather see Cain, Carwin, Brock, Nog, Mir, Barry, and Congo then any of those other HWs with the exception being Fedor.

I'm not at all sold on Barnett and AA has all the skill in the world but rarely does the smart thing in his fights.

Nog & Congo are fairly useless at this point, I feel like we've really seen what they have to offer - and don't get me wrong, Nog is a warrior but he's not big enough to stop the really big guys and can't be controlling enough on the ground (see his fights /w Fedor) to sub the best. Cain & Carwin might perform well, but neither have faced much competition aside from Carwin's win over an overrated Gabe Gonzaga.

I agree about Arlovski, he's sort of like the HW division's answer to Vitor, where you were constantly saying "well if he can get back to being the old Andrei."

Barnett is pretty nasty, although the problem for all these guys (who are outside the UFC) is that none of them are particularly young, and with the limited competition they're seeing now who knows how they'd perform if they were ever to get back on a big stage.

I guess I'll kind of take that back since the MMA portion of their proposed fight hadn't been put down by the UFC yet although the boxing had. My bad.
 

That settles it...It's WED/DAY

Dana was one of my all time favorite Dallas Cowboy QBs.
