Welterweight - Thinking GSP would need to vacate this one as well.
Lightweight - Gilbert Melendez
Featherweight - Chad Mendes
Bantamweight - Brian Bowles

MMAMessiah,
I was sitting there nodding my head until the Miguel Torres part.
Miguel is the best match up for Dominick Cruz.
Sure, Torres doesn't perform as well as he should against tiny wrestlers. Put him up against somebody like Cruz, and that's a completely different story.
If anything, Diaz is the worst choice out of all of those, considering he'll be steamrolled by Penn.
