Excluding those with match ups already(Woodley, Lawler ect.)
The Champions:
Melendez v Henderson - IMO the only current SF title holder deserving of an immediate title shot. It is a perfect main event for UFC on Fox 7 in San Jose.
Saffadine v T.Alvez - Awesome fight to co-main a Fuel/FX card. Alvez is a recognizable name and the SFWW title is recognizable as well.
Rockhold v Franklin - Big name fighter vs a future contender. Either way this goes its a win/win for the UFC. Rockhold needs exposure. Franklin needs a win over a legit opponent. Perfect.
Cormier v Mir - ballsy fight for both. Cormier because he will obviously be slimming down to fight a current top 10 HW as well as a Top 10 HW all time. Mir because the is a dangerous fight vs a fighter who has yet to show weakness in the cage and is on his way to LHW.
The Names:
J.Thompson v J. Lauzon - crazy dominant wrestler that went heads with Gil multiple times vs a guy with solid striking and one of the most creative submission games at 155.
Masvidal v Njokuani - Crazyness in the cage. This fight goes nuts and so does the crowd.
Noons v S.Fisher - Great litmus test for Noons. Win or get out of town for Fisher.
Ry.Couture v T. Zhang - Preferably on an international pay per view. This is the Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. of MMA. Bring him slowly but surely.
Santiago v Hardy - Once a top 10 MW, now a marginalized WW still a fight betweem him and Hardy headlines the next FX/Fuel in Britain.
Marquardt v Simpson - A tough loss to Saffadine calls for a tough fight with little upside. Simpson is tough and not well known. Marquardt will have a rough road back.
Kennedy v Stann/Wandy winner - If it is Stann that is a great fight "for the troops" if Wand wins it's just a great fight.
Gracie v Perosh - Another royal name that needs to be brought along slowly, although maybe not as slow as Couture. His BJJ chops prove it's bad to be on the ground with him.
Souza(Jacare) v Boetsch - Jacare is a beast on the ground but Boetsch is just a beast. Strength v Technique makes for a great litmus for Jacare.
Calvacante v P Davis - Two guys with semi star names on opposite ends of there careers. However the fight could go either way.
Mousasi v Rua - It just doesn't get any easier for Shogun. It just got a lot harder for Gegard though. Co-main event for Cain v Overeem maybe?
Barnett v Browne - Just a warm up fight but the UFC is dumb to let Barnett slide through there fingers. In a division void of personality this guy fills the room. Browne could win this too.......
The Deserving Unknown:
Healy v Volkmann
Evangelista v Boesek
Ricehouse v Larson
Misaki v Thiago
High v B.Jardine
Spang v Abedi
Larkin v Cammozzi
Amagov v Vemola
St. Preux v Vera
Kyle v Griggs

Although I'd have to give the slight edge to Alves. His leg kicks seem to have a little more pop to them.
