    With Edgar's recent win, the lightweight division has been blown open and it looks like Penn is to get a rematch immediately.

    Dana has announced that Sonnen will face Silva next for the middleweight title and we know that the other person to take even a round away from Silva was Henderson, also a wrestler.

    In the light heavyweight division, we know Machida will face Rua next and most people think he beat Machida the first time so has every chance of doing it again.

    Finally the heavyweight division has never looked better with undefeated Carwin to face Brock next and a host of other contenders to keep the race for the title competitive...Velasquez, Dos Santos, Mir.

    So it would seem really any of those division champions could lose their belts in their next respective fights. If not, there are many contenders vying for a shot.

    But what's next for GSP? With the superfight with Silva now seemingly on hold and the other champions all scheduled to fight in the next 3 months or so, not much has been said of GSP and who he might fight next.

    Let's play Joe Silva, who would YOU have him fight next and why?

    The winner of Jon Fitch VS Thiago Alves, or possibly a warmup fight in middleweight. A cool fight might be Wanderlei Silva!

    Yeah I think that's a strong possibility although with that fight still a couple of months away, will UFC want to leave one of thir biggest draws on the sideline any longer than they have to? The earliest that fight could happen would probably be Oct or maybe Sept. That's be one fight for GSP in almost a year and a half.

    I'm thinking possibly the winner of Koscheck and Daley.

    GSP has effectively cleared out the ww in the ufc. Id like to see GSP v Wanderlei or Bisping at mw.

    The preposed rematches suggested bore the **** out of me. Ufc's matchmaking as of late has gone to the dogs, and alot of the fights have been no fun. More cross divisonal fights would perk things up alot.

    Jake Shields might jump to UFC if there is any truth to the rumours.

    the thing is though, i dont see him moving up, not for a while anyway, with talks of anderson coming down, and i cant really see any other matches for him at ww.

    id love to see him take bisping actually.

    Dana traded Hendo for Shields it seems.
