I have seen a lot of matchmaking in other threads regarding 185 pounds so I felt a thread to discuss it's goings on would be suitable.

There is a serious logjam at the top due to Bisping's victory and the other absences/injuries. It seems likely Jacare vs Bisping is next, although I think Bisping vs Weidman at MSG is certainly a possibility.

Seems like a multitude of quality matchups out there so who do you want to see fight who? If Bisping vs Souza is next that leaves the possibility of Chris vs Luke 2, or Rockhold vs Vitor 2. Don't forget Kennedy still looms, Robert Whittaker is on a tear, and Romero returns from suspension soon.

My attempt: 2 variations
Bisping/Souza in London
Weidman/Rockhold 2
Romero/Kennedy 2
Whittaker vs Brunson/Mousasi winner

or

Bisping/Weidman MSG, winner to Jac
Rockhold/Romero
Kennedy/Whittaker
Andy/Vitor 2

Told you this was fun lol. Endless possibilities, who do you want to see fight who at 185 pounds?
 
My preferences more abut avoiding rematches than ranking
Bisping vs Souza
Weidman vs Romero
Rockhold vs Whittaker
Kennedy vs Vitor
 
I want to turn it into the "fun fights for the belt" division.

Bisping vs Hendo

Winner vs Machida (or Anderson-kun)

Then the deserving contenders.
 
Henderson VS Bisping for the belt

In a soccer stadium in England.

Thats what they should do.
 
Chael v Anderson 3 in Brazil when Chael's suspension is over. That's all I care about.
 
Bisping = 6 months rest he deserves it.
Weidman vs Romero
Souza vs Rockhold
Whittaker vs Kennedy
Andy vs Vitor 2

I like your matches ... I concur, sir :)
 
Well, Luke got to choose whom he faced for his first title defense, and he chose wrong, so Bisping should get the same treatment. It's only fair.
 
I want to see Cockhold vs Pisbing 3
Shit was too funny
 
Have the entire top 10 go to a nightclub in panda costumes, and the one who returns with the least sweaty outfit gets to go on vacation.

The rest die.

This makes sense. Hendo will wait for Bisping to lose I'm sure.
 
They def want Weidman on the MSG card, most likely fighting for the title so i think there's a chance Jacare gets snubbed again.

I think it may be Bisping/Weidman, Rockhold/Jacare, Kennedy/Henderson/Whitaker

Are you feeling ok
 
I like the first variation but I personally think Romero is the best 185er in the world and deserves his title shot. I think Whittaker vs Mousasi/Brunson winner makes a lot of sense. I just wonder if they will save Bisping vs. Weidman for MSG. Maybe do Jones vs. Rumble and then Bisping vs. Weidman as the co main.

oh and Rockhold vs. Vitor 2. Let Luke get his revenge.
