This fight has to happen.

Someone has been hitting the Christmas booze a bit too hard.

Lets see a rematch against Kampmann. Nate destroyed him in their first fight at 185, if he can do it again it would put him in a great spot.

Also the possibility of a rematch with Maia. Would definitely like to see Nate mix it up with Ellenberger or Hendricks

Nate vs rory Mac is the only fight that would propel both fighters IMHO. Rory beats Nate, he knock off a veteran and strike force champ. Nate beats rory, he beats a prospect with a lot if hype and he beats gsp's protege .

Would love to see him fight Rory or Ellenberger

[[Tycho?]]

He's very skilled, smart, and ultra experienced. He will do well (again) in the UFC.

IMO, that bout between Sonnen and Jones makes no sense. Thus, the ideal would be a revenge with Sonnen, then a fight with the winner of Boetsch and Philippou. Should he emerge victorious of these, a title shot against Anderson would be earned.

I'd like to see nate fight the winner of macdonald/condit to see how he does against the top welterweights before throwing him at gsp

After the freakish COMBO KO of Woodley in his last fight uh... instant GSP? Lets hope as GSP needs to fight more skilled strikers like Condit (Hendricks does not really count as diverse striking).
