Cut list: Chris Camozzi, Alistair Overeem wins against Lesnar and Mir, but faltered each time. Hefty pay check and to many headaches. Possibly if he could make light heavyweight, they'd give him another go, but he has been a major disappointment.

- I would love to see Soa vs reem, just to watch Reem get KTFO again. i can watch Reem getting dropped all day.
-Rothwell vs Brown would be awesome
-I would give meat head the Silva/ Arlovski loser, because i can see the winner in a title eliminator fight, atleast silva may be if he wins.
-I was very impressed with Souza (more specifically, his striking) i Believe it may be time for a title shot for him, at the very least he's deserved a title eliminator fight

I think maybe giving Meathead Travis Browne on a KO of Derrick Lewis is a bit too far up. I have a feeling a lot of people are putting a bit too much on Derrick Lewis' hype train.
I'd match the heavyweights on your "card" like this:
Stipe vs. JDS
Rothwell vs. Bigfoot/Arlovski winner
Meathead vs. Rosholt/Olynyk winner
Also, I may be wrong, but Scoggs going so far down for a bounce-back matchup would be weird (though weirder things have happened to save future contenders - I'm talking to you Chad Mendes), maybe this:
Scoggs vs. Tim Elliott
Both talked about (a bit too wildly, imo) as prospects for "the mix", both on a 2 fight losing streak. Fight for your bounce-back instead of getting it handed to you that way if you win you recover some of the ground you've lost in the rankings.
Other than that, I like what you did there.

Shelby is going to give Scoggins a layup fight. He's extremely young and talented. I think they'd want to not risk career yet with a tough matchup with Elliot.

I don't think it's likely since any heavyweight who can either take his shots (Rothwell) or outlast him (Bigfoot/Browne) will eventually sneeze next to his chin and drop him, but it's always a possibility. It's not like the division's got a multitude of guys at his talent level (talent is only a part of winning, so yes, talent - to all you guys who snickered on @Live2wrestle's post in another thread - he's talented, PEDs and KO losses aside. Just because you've got talent, doesn't mean you've got heart, cardio, fight IQ, etc and just because you're losing doesn't mean you haven't got talent).
