    I was sitting here thinking the pool was getting a bit thin. But I went to the UFC website. Its still pretty loaded.

    We were thinking of Roy Nelson, I brought up him fighting Pat Barry. Shit man, how about Barry fighting Mark Hunt? That shit would be fun as hell to watch. lol.

    I still want to see Roy Nelson vs Carwin

    Stipe Miocic needs to fight Travis Browne, would be a good scrap.

    I'd like to see Kongo vs Nog, both guys on the down side. fuck it.

    Who would you like to see fight?

    I'm with you dude. There are a ton of good match-ups waiting to be made.

    I love your idea of Hunt-Barry. Someone will get Knocked Clean TFO.

    You may not know it but Werdum and Nog are coaching the next season of TUF Brazil and will square off in Summer 2013.

    And Mark Hunt is going to face Stefan Struve in March. That is a great freaking match-up. They might be the two hottest HW's in the UFC south of JDS right now. If Struve finishes Hunt, he might be in line for a title shot behind Overreem.

    And I like any match-up featuring gatekeepers Frank Mir and Roy Nelson against the young class of guys like Miocic, Brown, Russow, etc. Mir and Nelso aren't championship material but they will beat almost anyone else that isn't championship caliber. You'll find out real quick with Roy and Frank whether you're ready for primetime.

    I know what you are saying about guys like Werdum and Nog scheduled as well as Stuve and Hunt. I guess I was just thinking of who I'd like to see stylistically. If Struve gets through Hunt, I would love to see Hunt fight Barry. I'm there with you, someone is getting KTFO clean. Hey, just a word to about Werdum/Nog. I have been told these two guys like actually really dislike each other. could be interesting.
