    If you could be God Promoter of MMA, what guys would you match up that are in different promotions that will most likely never get to fight?

    For me it is simple.

    Mousasi/Anderson Silva

    I would also love to see Kid Yamamoto fight Frankie Edgar. This fight just sounds fuckin badass just saying it.

    Just my own opinion, I think Mousasi beats Anderson. I honestly have no idea with Kid and Frankie:popcorn:

    Thing is, I can't really remember Silva ever going for a takedown and for all his limitation on the ground, Manhoef isn't really easy to take down. You got to favor Silva as he is far more complete but the first 2 minutes would be insane

    I don't remember Silva ever going for a takedown either. But with Manhoef being primarily a one dimensional fighter, it would be interesting to see if Silva would fight him in his strength, standing. I think Silva does keep it standing and they both land bombs. The first two minutes would be awesome, no doubt:hammert:

    Good one, I think Penn takes it down and wins the ground battle. Would be cool to see Penn/Aoki. Could be a bit of a snoozefest for the average fan, but just seems like a great back and forth grapple.
