What would you guys do if you could play fantasy match maker with this divison considering only real important fight booked is Bones vs Hendo.

 

Rashad vs Shogun

Machida vs Bader

Gustaffson vs Rampage

Phil Davis vs Thiago Silva

Stephan Bonnar vs Lil Nog

I'm sure i've left some out but what do you guys think and what match ups would you make?

The only downside there though is davis and gustafsson have already fought so i'm just assuming that they won't do that again. I think they are buliding him to be a fight or 2 away from a title shot so i expect him to get a name fighter not davis who is coming off a loss. I know Rampage is coming off 2 loses but its the fact he has the name recognition that could send gustafsson to the next level with a win
