Today it was announced that UFC on FOX 7 will be held in in San Jose CA on April 20.
The FOX 5 and 6 cards were both awesome. What card do you think the UFC could put on to keep it going?
POSSIBLE MAIN EVENTS:
Benson Henderson v Gilbert Melendez- This would be a good situation for everyone involved. Benson is a good representative for the UFC. Melendez could get a title shot on his home turf.
Benson Henderson v Anthony Pettis- If Pettis gets past Cerrone then I fully expect him to get the title shot over Melendez. This also could be good for the UFC because it would free up Melendez to be in a solid co-main event.
Cain Velesquez v Alistair Overeem- This may be the most unlikely of the possible main events. Overeem would have to get by Bigfoot and be ready to fight agin in less then three months. With that being said, Cain trains out of San Jose and would be a HUGE draw.
POSSIBLE OTHER FIGHTS
Gilbert Melendez v Jim Miller- Basically, I think Melendez will make his debut on this card one way or another. If he doesn't get the title shot then I would guess he gets this #1 contender fight.
Daniel Cormier v Alexander Gustafsson- Solid #1 contender fight at LHW for two fighters who could use the national exposure of a free FOX card. Cormier is yet another San Jose boy.
Cung Le v Hector Lombard- Another San Jose boy in another high profile fight. The UFC could market this as a #1 contender fight as well, although the MW division is pretty top heavy right now and it may end up being as much of a #1 contender fight as Machida/Bader or Hendricks/Kampmann was.
Cheick Kongo v Pat Barry II- HW fireworks. Solid chance of a KO to open the card.
Todd Duffee v Pat Barry- More HW fireworks. Not sure that the UFC either one of these fighters to lose right now though, so this fight may not happen. Duffee is yet another fighter currently training out of San Jose, so there is a good chance that he too could end up on this card.
Cheick Kongo v Todd Duffee- Once again, fireworks.
MY UFC on FOX 7 CARD
Benson Henderson v Anthony Pettis- Main Event.
Gilbert Melendez v Jim Miller- Co-Main Event/#1 contender fight.
Daniel Cormier v Alexander Gustafsson- #1 contender fight
Cung Le v Hector Lombard- "#1 contender fight"
Throw one of those HW fights as the FX Undercard Main Event.
What do you think? What card would you like to see? What fights would you add?
