Matches to make after Fight Night 41 & TUF Brazil Finale 3

Some solid matchups. Here's what I would do with ones you didn't mention or others I prefer.
UFN 41
Munoz vs. Derek Brunson
Dollaway vs. Romero or Philippou
Sean Strickland vs. Caio Magalhaes
Luke Barnatt vs. Stanislav Nedkov
Niklas Backstrom vs. Brian Ortega
Tom Niinimaki vs. Thiago Tavares

Nick Hein vs. James Vick
Magnus Cedenblad vs. Nick Catone
Yuri Alcantara vs. Dominick Cruz possibly? or George Roop
Peter Sobotta vs. Zhang Lipeng (TuF China winner I think)
Maximo Blanco vs. Godofredo Pepey
Ruslan Magomedov vs. Todd Duffee

TUF Brazil 3 Finale
Demian Maia vs. Mike Pyle
Alexander Yakovlev vs. Chris Clements
Robbie Peralta vs. Max Holloway
Rony Jason vs. Jimy Hettes

Rashid Magomedov vs. Michel Prazeres
Elias Silverio vs. Mitch Clarke
Gasan Umalatov vs. William Macario
Kevin Souza vs. Rob Whiteford
Pedro Munhoz vs. Chris Beal
 
1. Lavar's gotten his ass kicked since leaving the UFC. And Kongo left after contract negotiations because he demanded 70k to show and was no longer able to win relevant fights.

2. Maldonado isn't unheard of. Was fighting up a weight class to save the event and was on a 3 fight win streak.

3. Your replacement suggestions are Gonzaga, which would be an instant rematch of a fight Stipe dominated, and Mir, who is on a four fight losing streak. Or Barnett, who is currently letting his brain heal after a brutal knockout. So out of your three suggestions, zero make any sense.

4. You don't know half as much about this sport as you act like you do.
You forgot number 5. It was a free card so no one was a paying customer
 
Good matchups TS. If like to see all the fights you matched.
 
I don't see any reason for Stipe to wait that long before his next fight. He took no damage tonight and JDS is probably out till next year.

Overeem wouldnt work in that case either cus he said he wanted to fight in Japan in September right?
 
Want to see Stipe vs a top guy asap. I think he definitely has the tools to best Velasquez
 
Stipe/Overeem
Mousasi/Rockhold
CB/Romero
Maia/Pyle
Warlley Alves/Ildemar Maraj
 
I'm really interested in a Warley fight.I know Chael is full of sh**,but he hyped him up so much and even said before the fight that Warley could beat Weidman and Hendricks right now.I know he's not there yet but i'd love to see him face someone like CB Dollaway or Munoz.

It's a big step up but i think he could take them out.
 
Overeem wouldnt work in that case either cus he said he wanted to fight in Japan in September right?

That would only be three months away.

I doubt Reem gets his wish though. They're probably not going to put two top ten heavyweight fights on a Fight Pass card, especially when Gegard just volunteered to be co-main. Lorenzo already said he didn't know if there would be space for Alistair on the card but said September is the right timeframe.

Reem vs. Stipe could either headline a Fight Night or co-main a PPV.

Great post.
 
Whoops i suggested both Blanco and Souza fight Siler/Lahat winner. Im assuming Siler wins, but i like either of them vs Siler. Also depspite them both having different outcomes against Arantes in their last fight, a fight against each other would be interesting as well.
