I know all these fighters have fights booked, but in a perfect world these are the bouts I would choose for each of them (Also why I like these match ups).  Feel free to tell me which fight you would prefer to see. 
1.Cain Velasquez vs Fabricio Werdum (Wrestler/striker vs BJJ)

2. JDS vs Daniel Cormier   (BJJ/striker vs Wrestler/striker)

3. Bigfoot vs Shane Carwin (Mark Hunt could fill in for either here)  (SLUGFEST)

4. Frank Mir vs Stefan Struve  (old BJJ vs young BJJ)

5. Reem vs Roy Nelson/Big Nog (K1 vs BJJ)

1,3,& 4 are fine but JDS/Reem screams to be made.

Personally I would LOVE to see Big Nog vs. Big Country.

Also I would like for the guys who train together to stop fronting & fight so JDS vs Big Nog or Cain vs Cormier also interest me.

Blame Wand & Shogun. They were the clear #1 & #2 in PRIDE but wouldn't/didn't fight cuz they were teammates.

Kos/Fitch never really had to happen cuz of GSP.

I'll only have a problem with Cain & DC not fighting if/when DC beats Jones, defends enough times to be considered de facto #1 at LHW, and Cain is still HW champ.

If we're talking 'perfect world' fights, the ones I'd like to see are..

Cain Velasquez vs Daniel Cormier
Junior Dos Santos vs Alistair Overeem (which should be booked)
Fabricio Werdum vs Frank Mir
Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira vs Stefan Struve
Antonio Silva vs Roy Nelson

There's really no one I'm interested in seeing Velasquez fight right now besides Cormier.  That fight will probably never happen though, so maybe Werdum instead if he gets by Big Nog.  Cormier's already fighting Mir so that'd workout as well.

If both Hunt and Nelson win they should fight each other.
