Where Sanchez is concerned, here are the fights I'd most enjoy watching him fight next.

1. Rematch Koscheck
2. Rematch Nick Diaz
3. Jake Shields
4. Matt Hughes
5. Carlos Condit
6. Rematch John Hathaway
7. Rory MacDonald
8. Rick Story
9. Johny Hendricks
10. Thiago Alves

I'm not interested in seeing Diego fight GSP as I'm sure GSP would win without much fuss.  And I'm also not interested in seeing him rematch Fitch, as I believe Fitch would win again, even though Fitch only won a split decision the first time.

Anyone else have a list?  Any thoughts?

I'd love Nick Diaz, but he'll be on the shelf for a while so Rory v. Diego sounds good. It'd be a good scrap because Diego's in the ******* fight and it'll give Rory a shot at getting a win over a name.

@fglop  If they made Sanchez/MacDonald, who would you root for and who do you think most likely to take it?

I'd root for Diego but Rory might win that.

But I hate Rory MacDonald oh so much.

Rory already has a fight lined up, so while that would be a fun fight, it wont happen. In fact most the guys on that list have fights lined up. Hypothetically speaking though, I'd love to watch Diego and Diaz go 5 rounds.

Diaz for sure if the repercussions of his actions aren't hideous.

He's appealing it, but the odds are not good that he'll get anything overturned.

Maybe the Athletic Commissions should remove marijuana from the banned list.  Although I am very opposed to non-prescription drug use, I am just as committed to legalizing marijuana, period.  For medical or recreational.

I don't see the logic of banning it for MMA.  Numbing the pain is probably neutralized by lack of concentration and focus.

Bill Burgess....Marijuana doesn't numb pain, if anything it enhances it, and any other physical sensation as well.  It is not like being drunk in that way.  Also, while being high on marijuana can make it difficult to focus on more than one thing at a time, it can actually help with focusing in on a single task.

Thanks, AnAlias for the clarification.  

I remember when I used marijuana in 1972, it distorted my sense of reality.  When I danced, I was completely convinced I was the greatest genius in the world.  But everyone said I just stood there and oozed and was boring.  I finally realized I was wrong and everyone else was right.

@AnikM  I really wish you wouldn't.

@OldManGloom  Thanks good buddy.

I used to enjoy things like Christmas and birthdays.  Now I cringe knowing I'm getting closer to my Eternal Reward, or Final Fiery *****-Slap.
