    Why would Nate Diaz go from title fight to unranked opponent? Nate should fight Gray Maynard and Jim Miller should fight Cowboy.

    Gilbert should get Benson next. (Or after Pettis)

    Scrap that, Chris Weidman vs. Ronaldo Souza would be a better fight.

    I have Jacare via KO or sub.

    I don't like the term pudgey, I prefer "Fedorish"

    Weidman v. Rockhold would be a great #1 contender fight (assuming Weidman is not getting a title shot)
