Winner of Nelson vs Cro Cop?

@thiago, I really like that matchup.  I'd also like to see Carwin vs Overeem, but I'm guessing they're gonna make the Brock/Overeem match up for the Fox Debut

If Dave Herman gets by Mike Russow in devastation fashion Carwin would be a great test for Pee Wee

I want to see him fight Schaub if he gets the win, it will be a good fight for Carwin plus I think he would demolish Schaub

It wouldn't be bad way to bring Overeem in. Overeem/Carwin sounds like a good fight.

@Jesse.. Markes is dropping in weight I believe.  @Swick.. poor Carwin if that were to happen.  I like @Soccer's idea.

@Skeet Carwin and Schaub will not fight unless one of them have the belt

Carwin vs **** Chestnar rematch. By all right's Carwin deserves another shot against Lesnar. Now with his improved cardio and lighter weight I see it being a much more interesting fiight to watch.
