Cheick Kongo vs. Bobby Lashley would be the fight that makes the most sense for the tournament. I like Wren and he could be deserving of an alternate slot, but the tournament's more about marketable and popular, well-known-in-MMA fighters that have some credibility as heavyweights in some way, and Kongo and Lashley both fit that bill more than Wren. Wren's typically more exciting than Kongo and he has more official skills than Lashley, so they could pick him in the alternate bout because of that, but I doubt it.
They don't really need to have an alternate spot until at least one of the semi-finalists are matched up, though. The opening bouts can have anyone fill in, and it'd be good to have as many options for that as possible and not have someone pidgeonholed in an alternate bout yet.
