"money fights" that make sense?

[neil_totally]

In light of all these dudes pulling A Conor and demanding big fights (while mostly not pulling A Conor and working hard for a few years at becoming a "big fight"), what are the fights that make sense in each weight class, that are big money fights, but don't completely trample the (already fragile) rankings?

 

[chitoortiz]

GSP vs Anderson is the money fight that makes sense.

 

[sirmorbach]

Lawler vs. Diaz (considering that Nick Diaz seems to be a money fight after all), Dominick Cruz vs. José Aldo, Mighty Mouse vs. Dominick Cruz, DC vs. the heavyweight champ.

Cowboy vs Lawler is a money fight to me, because i'd pay my mahfucking money to see it.

A "fan" money fight that makes sense is... McGregor - Alvarez?

I'd pay to see that shit as well

 

[neil_totally]

Lawler vs. Diaz

If Diaz does come back, this really is the only fight that makes sense. Not only that, but it makes a TON of sense. I would also have said MacGregor/Nick Diaz, if Mcgregor would have gotten an impressive finish over Nate.

Both awesome calls. Cowboy/Lawler would be the shit.

[Kevin Smash]

Brock vs Fedor

 

[Michael Wetzel]

Nate Diaz vs Lawler (a rematch that would be a slugfest)
Conor vs Khabib (trash talking, and I want to see Conor impregnated)
PVZ vs Waterson (pair up the two best looking female fighters)
Rousey vs Cyborg (been brewing for a long time)
Jones/Cormier vs HW champion
GSP vs WW champion
Lesnar vs Barnett (who can be the most juiced going in)

 

[DetachedOrchid]

Conor relinquishes and gets nate 3 with winner getting titleshot bam that creates 3 miney fights.

Conor vs Nate 3

By it's definition all money fights make sense. To be a 'money fight' it has to make money and it only does that if mass amounts of people want to see it.

Yeah, at 135 or HW.

I think I explained what I was going for pretty well.
