I'm not crazy about Anders vs Machida or Brunson vs Jacare

I get they want to create some new contenders fast, but damn its only Anders third fight in the UFC and he didn't look like a world beater in his last one. He should be fighting someone more like Boetsch. Borrachina should get the Machida fight.

I don't why there making this rematch, maybe Brunson wanted it but I think he should be fighting Kelvin (way better fight) or Weidman. I'd like to see Jacare fight Antonio Carlos Jr (two of the best bjj in the world)

Not mad at Rockhold vs Whittaker though
 
Bisping vs Romero is an obvious one. Don't blame Bisping for not wanting that one for his last fight.
 
GSP/Silva.

Too bad GSP had to duck.
 
LOL- brain fart of the year was letting Mr.Mousasi deflect to BMMA.Rockhold v. Mousasi was all but set up.....instead we got Luke- Branch.
If Gegard would've give it another week or 2 , he'd finally be realizing his UFC middleweight title dream in Whitaker s backyard....and I think he'd beat Robert but thats my opinion.

Bisping so royally fucked up 185 division

You don't have very good ability at judging fighting skill.
 
How you seen Machida lately? Anders didn't have to look like a world beater in his last fight, he's going to look like one in this one.
 
I actually like the Anders/Machida fight. I think it's more 'legit' from a pure-competition standpoint. Undefeated prospect vs aging veteran who has flunked out of high-ranked competition. Machida is only ranked 14 right now and looked terrible in his last 3 outings. True, they were savages, but he got dominated. I don't know much about Anders, but I think it's good to give a guy with an undefeated streak a chance at making a name, or climbing the ranks, or both. From the point-of-view of the brass, they're going to see if Anders is a legit contender, or if Machida still 'has it.' So I think this is actually a pretty good piece of matchmaking despite lacking 'pop.'

he wants no part of it unless it was a main event nobody can beat Yoel in a three rounder

I watched it he got hit a lot, striking didn't look crisp. He's a great athlete but you cant say he looks better than Borrinchina or Carlos
 
Bisping vs Machida
Weidman vs Jacare
Romero vs Gastelum
Anders vs Costa

There's no way Bisping would take that fight. After getting finished badly twice I don't think he want's to retire fighting Romero. Bisping is tough as nails but he realized what spot he's at at this point. He won then lost the title in dramatic fashion, lost dramatically to Kelvin. He knows he has one fight, two fights max if the UFC wants to milk him. It would be a big fight and maybe if they throw money at Bisping he'll do it but for Bisping's health I hope they don't

Machida sadly is a gatekeeper at best at this point. Just used as someone who you can say, "I beat the former LHW champ and MW contender" but Machida clearly is close to the end of his career. Costa will likely get a bigger fight or should at least but who knows at this point. Machida is looked as a better fighter and bigger name then Tim even though I think Tim would beat Machida as crazy as that sounds. If Anders wins it's the fresh new face in the division,former football player beating a former champ. It's sad because Machida didn't even want to fight him but took it because he's a company man.
