I would like to state, that before Matt Serra retires, I would like to see him fight BJ Penn again. And before Chris Lytle retires, I think we all deserve to see his fight with Thiago Alves finished.

I was at 78 when Lytle and Alves fought and I was HIGHLY irritated when it got stopped.

Great avatar there buddy.  Great montage that came from.

Cool thread idea though honestly neither of those 2 bouts excite me (sorry).

Before they retire... Torres should fight Faber (5-rounder please!).

Alvarez/Melendez is the probably my most anticipated fight at the moment. I hope they can make it happen some day.

If BJ Penn and Matt Serra are going to fight again, I'd like to see it happen at welterweight.  They already fought at LW and both guys have moved up, so I think it'd be interesting to see it at a different weight class this time.  Also, every time this match-up is brought up I have to say -- Serra won in their first meeting, in my opinion.

I've never seen that Penn vs. Serra fight... now I'm gonna have to get it somehow.   I can't see Serra beating BJ, so I have to see this fight to get my own opinion now.

@mmaprodigy Thats what I thought too, but after finally seeing the fight I thought Serra won it, but I'll take the win for BJ!!!

Before they should retire

Nog should fight Cro Cop!

Their first fight was one of the best of all time. They are both going down hill and it would be the perfect retirement fight for both of them.

Rich Franklin should knock out Tito Ortiz, and after that they BOTH retire.
