And Dana is letting you pick your first opponent in the LHW division to start your rise up the ranks, who are you picking?

 

TITO ORTIZ for me, i think he would be the best bang for the lowest risk to begin with.

is this assuming I am a trained mixed martial artist? Because I am not lol. 
Assuming I am, I'd want to fight a legend. So either Tito, or Randy. Either way I'd get my ass kicked.

I gotta focus on someone who will crumple early...can they call up Keith Jardine or Houston Alexander?

Alexander Gustafsson. Good fighter and a tough first test.

Then I'll go with Pokrajac.  His record of the recent past is spotty, plus I'd get to trip over to Europe!

Stephan Bonner, because he would be foolish enough to stand and trade, and he's not all that good.  Also, I can't stand him especially after hearing him commentate.

@RWLawman Pokrajac disagrees that Bonner would stand and trade ;-)

Hmm I'd probably go for Matyushenko, not really great anywhere, but a solid name for your first UFC fight.

I would have to go with Matyushenko or Pokrajac.  They both have at least mild recognition from having headlined at least one card, and neither shows any truly elite skill in one area.

Ortiz...he'll probably fake an injury and say that he fought with a broken back or a torn achilles.

Thiago Silva, even if I lose it would be a NC.
