Cut List: Ramsey Nijem, Uriah Hall (he'll probably stay.)

Saffiedine has the same rankings qualification problem of not having been in the UFC long enough so his ranking not being as high or solid as either Martin or Carlos. Would be a good fight either way but seeing as how he's already on a 6 fight streak, it's time to plan a title run. He needs a legit top 5 win in his next fight and I think he'd be 2nd in line behind only Maia.

And it's not just a streak, it was a very slow progression in terms of quality of opposition for the 1st 3: Chris Cope (2nd TKO), Stephen Thompson (dec), & Luis Ramos (2nd TKO); then a returning TUF veteran followed by a hot young prospect, both of whom he was "supposed" to lose to but KOed in the 2nd rd and finally his 1st top 20 ranked fighter, who he finished the quickest and most impressively. So as his opposition has gotten better, his skills or the way he uses them seems to have improved at an even greater pace.

joe lauzon vs. yves edwards or sam stout

If Machida doesn't fight Vitor or Nick Diaz, I'd like to see Shogun/Machida 3

Lauzon/Wiman

Chael Sonnen vs. Wanderlei Silva - Just for the fun of it and the build-up, Wand will get destroyed.
Shogun Rua vs. Rafael Cavalcante - I wouldn't go all the way down to Pokrajac.
Travis Browne vs. Josh Barnett/Frank Mir winner
Alistair Overeem vs. Cormier/Nelson loser
Urijah Faber vs. Michael McDonald
Yuri Alcantara vs.Mike Easton/Scott Jorgensen
Matt Brown vs. Robbie Lawler - **** YEAH!!!
Mike Pyle vs. Thiago Alves - Love it!!
John Howard vs. Thales Leites - Battle of the second-run fighters who came back with a win.
Michael Johnson vs. Edson Barboza
Joe Lauzon vs. Takanori Gomi - Would be awesome, but I'd hate either of them to lose.
Brad Pickett vs. Takeya Mizugaki
Conor McGregor vs. Nik Lentz/Diego Brandao - Steven Siler??? Let's see how he deals with a good wrestler to complete the picture or just make a sick fight (or at least 1st round before Brandao gasses and Conor destroys him).
Max Holloway vs. Nam Phan - I think Holloway would destroy him, but that's ok with me :)
Mike Brown vs. Mizuto Hirota - Sure, why not.
Diego Brandao vs. Conor McGregor - Manvel Gamburyan??
Cole Miller vs. Daniel Pineda
Ovince St. Preux vs. Anthony Perosh
James Vick vs. Jon Tuck - Sure, why not, if Jon Tuck can actually make it injury free to a fight one day, Vick would most likely **** him up, though ;)
Steven Siler vs. Rani Yahya

Cut List: Ramsey Nijem, Uriah Hall, Cody Donovan

* Edited at 08.19.2013, 10:18 AM ET *

Overeem vs Big Nog December 28th ufc 168!! Nog said he wants to fight somebody on the same card as Anderson

I had to take break from forums and social media over the weekend, I was so bummed out for the Shogun loss :(

Shogun - I'd like to see Shogun vs TeHuna or Bader/Glover loser. I think they are all interesting match ups and winnable for all.

Sonnen - I'm not interested in Sonnen-Wand. I'm a huge Wand fan and I know he would get taken down and ****d for 15/25 minutes. If Sonnen goes back to MW I'd like to see him vs Munoz (not sure if they're training partners now) if he beats Bisping or vs Jacare if he beats Okami.

Brown - This guy needs to fight a top 5er, he keeps getting fed these guys that are on a good roll but neither of them a legit top WW, I think it's time for the UFC to give Brown a taste of the top 5... how about Brown vs Maia? He's another one that keeps getting stalled by the UFC by matching him against guys that are out of the top10, it would be interesting to see those two battle it out. Hell, I'd even be up for Brown-Diaz, Diaz chooses to make a return; both in-your-face sluggers with great chins, that would be interesting to see.

Browne - Easy, Barnett/Mir winner or Miocic

Overeem - Struve

McGregor - I like the idea of Dennis Siver but I'd looove to see him vs Poirier, I think that fight would be sick, but if Poirier gets past Koch, he might be a little too high up for Conor.

Faber - McDonald

I think it is time for McGregor to have a bigger test. hence at least my top 10 in the division starting with Siver. It will be a great technical Striking battle. and probably fight of the night.

I think McGregor needs a top 10 but also he needs to gu up the ladder slower than I had tought previously, he needs to improve his ground game particularly his BJJ before he fights any top 5 or 7, Siever would be a good match although I would hate to see Seiver get KO´d

Matt Brown deserves a higer ranked fighter, either Lawler or Koscheck would be a nice introduction to the top 10

Shogun at this point I rather watch him retire, but if he´s gonna keep fighting, Bader is a good match

Faber vs McDonald makes a lot of sense they both lost to Barao and have never fought each other, and Faber already defeated anyone else (aside Barao)

Holloway vs Cole miller or Nam Phan (is he still in the UFC?)

Faber vs. McDonald I need this in my life

Definitely. That fight needs to happen. One of my favorite things about Faber is that he doesn't ***** about title shots. The BW division is in such a mess anyway with Cruz being out. If I were him I'd wait. 

And with all the talent in the BW division, there's no shortage of good fights for him. And he's been fighting with extreme regularity since. 3 fights this year and he probably will sneak one more in before the year is over.
