Matchups for new strikeforce middleweight

[lockon]

rockhold vs weidman for me

 

[bjrushpenn]

What would be a good starting fight for the new UFC fighters from strikefroce

I would like to see

Luke Rockhold vs Chris Weidman
Tim Kennedy vs Belfort/Bisping Loser
Jacare vs Cung Le
Lorenz Larkin vs Alan Belcher
Roger Gracie vs Mark Munoz

Jacare vs Weidman is much better.

 

[bjrushpenn]

Mousasi vs Machida
KJ Noons vs Jeremy Stephens

Mousasi vs Machida would be sick.

I think Stephens gets knocked out in that one.

If you look at the current SF guys that are scheduled to fight UFC guys already, u can see Joe Silva is matching winners with winners & losers with losers unlike what he usually does with UFC newcomers where he pairs them with a recent UFC loser. So my matchups are as follows:

Rockhold vs Weidman
Jacare vs Costa
Kennedy vs Carmont
Larkin vs Cung Le
Gracie vs Maguire (said he's moving to MW for his next fight)

 

[MMA Maine-iac]

Jacare vs Weidman is much better.

That's what I was thinking.

 

[Chramelated]

Switch Kennedy and Jacare and it looks good.

 

[Sicarii]

mousasi vs shogun would make my year!

ah but mw fights

jacare vs boetsch
rockhold vs loser of bisping/belfort
larkin vs cung le

 

[Patman]

Mousasi is done with MW he said he can't make the cut anymore.

He can't or he won't? I thought he said he'd do it for Anderson.

 

[machine85]

Luke Rockhold vs Chris Weidman
Won't happen as both are future contenders for Anderson Silva

Tim Kennedy vs Belfort/Bisping Loser
Could be a good fight!

Jacare vs Cung Le
Too easy for Jacare, I'd like to see Jacare against tougher opposition, such as Belcher/Munoz

Lorenz Larkin vs Alan Belcher
Agree and this could be another good fight. Also Larkin vs. Lombard is guaranteed fireworks!

Roger Gracie vs Mark Munoz
Gracie would get dismantled on the feet. Roger needs to fight Palhares.

 

[rlm81]

Mousasi is done with MW he said he can't make the cut anymore.

That is pure BS. He said on Saturday that he only cut 5 lbs to fight at LHW.

He just doesn't want to deal with the sacrifices of weight cutting as long as he has "success" at LHW.

He has also said that he would cut to MW if he was to fight Silva, of he he lost in LHW.

 

[forevrWhiteBelt**]

Yeah i dont think Mousasi will be rushed to a MW title shot this year with Bisping/Belfort winner getting a title shot, weidman/rockhold would most likely be next in line, and a possible but unlikely superfight for Silva. Champ is busy.

 

[PabloZed]

Some real dimwits around here. Mousasi is fighting at LHW and has requested Gus.

IF Bisping wins Saturday

Bisping vs Andy in May
Jacare vs Le at Fox 7
Rockhold vs Costa UFC 159
Weidman vs winner of Lombard /Okami in June/July (no1 contender fight)
Belcher vs Boestch

IF Vitor KTFO Bisping

Vitor vs Weidman in June (no1 contender fight)
Jacare vs Le at Fox 7
Rockhold vs Costa at UFC 159
Lombard/Okami winner to fight winner of Costa/Rockhold
Bisping vs Belcher
while waiting for the winner of Vitor vs Weidman, Andy calls out WW's or go fight some unranked LHW's.

 

[J228jnkwxz9gj]

Rockhold v Weidman

Jacare v Boetsch

Gracie v T.Lawler

Kennedy v Franklin

Larkin v Brunson
