Urijah Faber vs Brad Pickett - This matchup should be made to determine the next title contender.

Scott Jorgensen vs Mike Easton

Kelvin Gastelum vs Tom Lawlor - Kelvin got the upset victory over everyone he faced this season to become the winner of TUF 17 and now looks to continue his winning streak into the UFC. Lawlor recently won a submission over Michael Kuiper and could serve as a nice test for Kelvin.

Urijah Hall vs Michael Kuiper - Hall looked amazing throughout his TUF 17 run and the UFC is likely to keep him around after losing a close split decision to Kelvin. Kuiper who was recently submitted by Tom Lawlor is a well rounded fighter who could serve as a good test to Hall.

Cat Zingano vs Ronda Rousey - Already set up.

Miesha Tate vs Liz Carmouche

Travis Browne vs Stipe Miocic/ Soa Palelei Winner

Gabriel Gonzaga vs Stefan Struve

Bubba McDaniel vs Brad Tavares

Josh Samman vs Thiago Perpetuo - Both we're successful in their UFC debuts winning by TKO a matchup between these two could make for fireworks.

Kevin Casey vs Sean Spencer - Casey is a talented grappler and he showed that when he very nearly submitted Josh Samman in his UFC debut, however Casey needs to work on his striking and cardio if he wants to improve. If the UFC gives Casey another chance a suitable opponent could be Sean Spencer.

Luke Barnatt vs Daniel Sarafian/ Eddie Mendez Winner

Dylan Andrews vs Tom Watson - Both fighters are coming off their first octagon win and a matchup between these two could make for a great fight.

Jimmy Quinlan vs Gilbert Smith - Neither man did anything to impress in their respective UFC debuts but both have lots of room to improve. If the UFC decides to give these two another chance a matchup between them would show who was able to improve and really wants to be there.

Clint Hester vs Yoel Romero/ Clifford Starks Winner

Bristol Marunde vs Collin Hart - If the UFC decides to give Marunde and Hart another shot a matchup between the two could determine who gets to stay.

Cole Miller vs Manvel Gamburyan - Both have been in the sport for a long time and now seems like a good time to match them up as they are both coming off wins.

Bart Palaszewski vs Nam Phan - Palaszewski is now on a 3 fight losing streak but at 29 years of age and having over 50 fights he still has room for improvement and something to offer the UFC Featherweight division. Nam Phan is 2-4 inside the octagon and a matchup between these two could make an entertaining fight for the fans.

Daniel Pineda vs Maximo Blanco - Both men kept their UFC careers alive with their wins tonight but in the shallow Featherweight division a matchup between them could do.

Justin Lawrence vs Sam Sicilia - Both fighters are 1-2 in the octagon and are most likely on the chopping block a matchup between them could give each one last chance to save their job.

I'm pretty sure most of the losers from tonight will get cut.

I like most of your matchups Blackarone. I think Faber wants to take some time off and he's definitely solidified his perpetual contender status. I'm also in wait and see mode for the ladies & HWs.

As for the FWs, I prefer Blanco/Yagin, Cole/Yahya, and Pineda/Corassani.

Obviously the MWs were the focus of the card and I have the winners and losers matched with the same limited pool of lower tiered UFC vets. I think Gastellum, Bubba, Samman, Barnatt, Andrews, Hester, & Troeng should face someone from among the winner of Starks/Romero, Kong Watson, Perpetuo, Lawlor, Mutante, C.B., and any of the winners of the 4 Fuel 10 MW bouts. I'm a fan of Brad Tavares and feel it wouldn't be fair to throw one of these guys in against him.

Bartimus has already fought Hioki and do you not like Kelvin and/or Clint? Palhares and Lombard both seem just a little out of their league.
