Just wanted to preface this by saying that I know Punk had a piss poor showing in his debut and he'll probably get murdered in his next fight too.
Now that, that's out of the way I had a little free time on my day off from work and was scanning through the UFC WW division's win/loss records. It got me thinking if UFC is hellbent on giving Punk another fight even after there debut who could they even get on their roster with a comparable record to Punk? Probably Mike Jackson or someone outside the organization again, right. But I thought it would be fun to limit myself with just the listed roster.
So, I just went through the pages real quick and compiled a list of fighters with 10 fights or less with the least winning records. Since, UFC is the top of MMA as could be expected no one except Punk had a losing record. Anyway, the following profiles stuck out as the most likely opponents given my criteria (ranked from best match to least):
http://www.ufc.com/fighter/charlie-ward
http://www.ufc.com/fighter/vernon-ramos
http://www.ufc.com/fighter/brendan-oreilly
http://www.ufc.com/fighter/anton-Zafir
http://www.ufc.com/fighter/brian-camozzi
http://www.ufc.com/fighter/brian-Melancon (last fight in 2013, but he's still listed)
Not taking anything away from any of these fighters as they must've done something great just to get signed. Figured I'd share and get the opinions of you fine folks.
