Biggest fight outside of UFC?

Shields has to get past Palhares first for that to make sense. Askren vs. Palhares is up there. Also would like Khalidov vs. Vasilevsky. Gaethje vs the winner of Brooks/Chandler is also up there.
 
biggest means a lot of different things. Ratings in the USA? Best two fighters? Best fight?

In the USA i still would bet that Tito vs. Rampage would bring in the biggest numbers on tv out of any fight you could make.

But then in Poland KSW could make some fight that would blow those rating out of the water but it wouldn't be big in America/Canada..etc.

As far as Shields, i'd say people are more interested in seeing Palhares. The guy brings interest and it's only gone up since he's not in the UFC. I'd say the Palhares vs. Fitch fight would bring bigger numbers than Shields vs. Askren (if it wasn't on the same day as the UFC/Bellator card. NBC is screwing that up bigtime. I think the Palhares vs. Fitch fight would do big numbers on their own day.)
 
bibi vs marlon is probably up there since dantas lost. Bibi vs Warren 2 up there as well
 
Wand vs Sonnen in ONEFC. You can bet the bank on that.
 
Minakov vs Kharitonov
Tito vs Rampage
Askren vs Khalidov
Chandler vs Brooks, winner vs Gaethje
Aoki vs Patricio Pitbull at 145
Any combo of Warren, Moraes, and Bibi
 
That is a tough question. If the wsof WW dust settles, winner vs askren could be big.

chandler/brooks winner vs gaetje would be great.

Freire is the king at 145 no question.

No real excitement for bibi/warren.


Halsey could become a star real quick too.

Let's say "most relevant." Agreed that Tito/Rampage brings more viewers. Also that Shields and Palhares is more technically interesting. But Askren is still a real prospect. Shields is a test to that.
 
The best:
Shields vs Askren
Rampage vs Spong
Minakov vs Tybura
Moraes vs Bibi
Warren vs Bibi 2
Brooks/Chandler vs Aoki
Vasilevsky vs Khalidov

Some others:
Moraes vs Warren
Pitbull vs Warren 2
Aoki vs Gaethje
Brooks/Chandler vs Gaethje
Shields vs Lima/Koreshkov
Okami/Branch vs Khalidov
Newton vs Rampage
McGeary vs Rampage/Newton
Bedorf vs Rama
Bedorf vs Tybura
 
Biggest would be Brock vs Rampage

Nice list. Some great fights in there.
 
I hope we get to see that fight, but I'd rather see Shields-Fitch and Askren-Palhares before.
