option 1: sensible

Bisping vs Romero (Romero did win against Jacare, and his suspension was proven to be the 1 in a million tainted supps)
Rockhold vs Souza #1 contender
Weidman vs Hendo (thus if Hendo somehow wins he'd deserve a title shot against Bisping)

Option 2: fun
Bisping vs Hendo
Rockhold vs Souza (I'm just really intrigued by this matchup)
Weidman vs Romero (great wrestling style clash)
 
Bisping vs Jacare
Rockhold Vs Romero
Weidman Vs Mousasi/Santos winner at UFC 205

that's my picks
 
Bisping vs Jacare
Rockhold vs Weidman
Anderson vs Vitor
Romero vs Kennedy 2
 
Bisping vs GSP
Rockhold vs Romero
Weidman vs Jacare

Hendo vs Anderson II

Or do the rematches:
Rock/Weid II
Rom/Jac II
 
Weidman vs Hendo sounds bad I don't know why

Bisping vs Jacare
Rockhold vs Weidman
Anderson vs Vitor
Romero vs Kennedy 2

I seconded this, Anderson vs Vitor 2 or Hendo 2 would be nice
 
Jacare vs Bisping

Rockhold vs Weidman

Lombard vs Belfort

Spider vs Hall

Romero vs Kennedy

Brunson vs Whittaker

Hendo vs retirement
 
Bisping vs Jacare (or Weidman if they're doing it at MSG)
If they do Bisping/Jacare then > Rockhold/Weidman 2 at MSG
 
Bisping vs Jacare
Weidman vs Romero
Rockhold vs Belfort
 
Weidman v Romero
Rockhold v Belfort
Hendo v Anderson
Jacare v Kennedy
Bisping v most dominant winner of those fights.
 
Rockhold vs Weidman
Bisping vs Jacare
Anderson vs Vitor
Romero vs Kennedy
 
I really want to see Jacare vs Weidman and Romero vs Rockhold
 
Bisping vs Romero
Jacare vs Weidman
Rockhold vs Whittaker
Belfort vs Silva 2
Hall vs Kennedy
Hendo should wait for Bisping as retirement fight IMO.

I think the only sensible match up not that GSP has said he wants it, is GSP v Bisping because what makes money makes sense. GSP is one of the top PPV draws in the sport, if he wants his comeback to be to the MW division then why would the UFC not give him an instant title shot he retired as the WW champ and GOAT. So give him the shot at Bisping that no one else clearly deserves. Since Weidman was promised and scheduled for a title shot, make him and Jacare fight for the number one contender. Get Luke and Romero to fight for next in line. This allows for fresh match ups, a lot of flexibility and the most money to be made.
 
Bisping going to lose the title to either jacare or Romero so they might as well give the opportunity to hendo
