Your dream match.

    The title says it all, if you could see any fighters go at it who would you want to see?

    For me I think it would be Anderson Silva VS GSP. I know there has been some talk of this happening if GSP beats Penn and I think it would be an amazing fight. Both guys are way ahead of their competition in their own divisions so it would be exciting to see how they would fare against each other.

    Another one would be a Griffin Vs Jackson rematch. I know the match a couple of months ago was not the best but I think a rematch after the controversy of the original match would be a lot better.

    A prime Sakuraba vs a prime Tamura. The fight is happening on New Year's Eve, but they're both past their best, Sakuraba more so. Would've been nice if it had happened

    Wanderlei Silva vs Anderson Silva. I'd love to see how they'd match up on the feet

    Shinya Aoki vs BJ Penn. The ground work would be something to see if it lasted for a while

    Miguel Torres vs KID Yamamoto. The pace would be something else

    Besides my dream matches that are actually happening soon (BJ vs GSP 2, Arlovski vs Fedor, Silva vs Rampage 3) I'd love to see:

    Fedor vs Josh Barnett

    Fedor vs Couture


    BJ Penn vs JZ Calvan

    Anderson Silva vs GSP

    BJ Penn vs Thiago Alves

    Franklin -V- Henderson was mine for a while
    Faber -V- Torres would be one of the best matchups the WEC could put on
    Franklin -V- Machida- To see Franklin get revenge on Machida would be nice
    I would like to see 2 really good BJJ fighters go at it like Demian Maia versus someone who has won a BJJ World title or some major BJJ title.

    Dean Lister vs Ricardo Arona, for the BJJ masterclass they would put on
    Gomi vs Penn 2, this would be a war, Gomi has lost the fire and this would get it back for him
    Fedor vs Randy, obvious reasons
    Forrest vs Wanderlei Silva, I'd love to see Silva with a strap again, 2 tough blokes
    Me vs GSP, I think I could take him:pac::pac::pac:maybe not

    The fights i would like to wouldnt be UFC superstars.

    Thomas Egan vs John donelly. Both good strikers with strong ground games.
    Tim Murphy vs Paul cowzer. Tim has a good Karate background (TKD i think) and has a top ground game, Paul is in my opinion is the best striker in the country floating around this weight and has an underrated ground game.
    Owne Roddy vs Steve McCombe.

    Just some ideas

    Joachim Hansen vs Kenny Florian ( I hate Kenny!) :D

    Kenny seems to be one of the sports most disliked fighters! I always find myself rooting for the other guy when he fights!

    Thankfully BJ gets him after GSP!


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 23,089 ✭✭✭✭rovert


    Fedor v Randy
    Brock v Kurt Angle so to shut him the **** up


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,441 ✭✭✭Killme00


    BJ Penn vs Marcelo Garcia

    In a sick sort of way i also would love to see Forrest Griffin vs Wanderlei Silva

    Yeah screw it, Kid Yammamoto vs Kenny Florian :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,923 ✭✭✭Nothingcompares


    What's with the Kenny Florian hate? He's polite, civilized, a great grappler, prone to finishing people. He's bit of a square and a bit Abercrombie and Fitch but he's alright.


  • Registered Users Posts: 30 Balfe


    BJ Penn v GSP II (which we're getting, thank goodness)
    Lyoto Machida v Anderson Silva
    Demien Maia v Thales Leites
    Shane Carwin v Brock Lesnar
    Wanderlei Silva v Thiago Silva
    Shinya Aoki v Kenny Florian
    Paul Taylor v Dustin Hazelett

    To name a few..

    I think that's part of it, he doesn't wear t-shirts with skulls on them and say dude a lot, he was a bit patronising to some of the meatheads he shared TUF house with, but who'd blame him for that.

    I suppose he is a bit square. I can imagine he and I in years to come, at a barbecue, in our tank tops, watching our kids playing and discussing geopolitics and our golf swings, and then later on, throwing our keys in the bowl, each of us hoping we get the other's wife.

    Describing Florian as a Square is PERFECT! HA.

    What was he talking about after the Stevenson fight - Its time to kill the master, LOL. Bit of a Star Wars moment.

    Are we thinking of the same person?.............

    He's so ghetto.

    Fedor v Chuck Norris,
    Fedor v Jesus

    Failing that I'd love to see Wand v Tito again. :cool:
