Anderson Silva vs. Lyoto Machida - That would be a sleeper imo. Neither likes to engage...it would be awesome in theory and a snoozer in reality.

Mine would have a lot of guys going to different weight classes

Fedor Emelianenko vs. Brock Lesnar
Anderson Silva vs. GSP
Machida Vs Junior Dos Santos
BJ Penn vs. Jake Shields
Jose Aldo vs. Frank Edgar

Rampage Vs Bones Jones
Rashard Vs Shogun

Kos vs Daley
Machida vs Shogun II

are both up there, FWIW

The UFC is putting together a lot of awesome match-ups, not too many of the fights being suggested are pure fantasy.

Almost everything good has been mentioned, so I'll try to add a degree of difficulty and make something halfway realistic. I'll keep it all Zuffa, to achieve that purpose.

Anderson Silva vs. Shogun Rua
Frank Edgar vs. Kenny Florian
Rampage Jackson vs. Rashad Evans
Cain Velasquez vs. Junior Dos Santos
Yoshihiro Akiyama vs. Nate Marquardt

Ben Henderson vs. Clay Guida
Donald Cerrone vs. Sam Stout
Leonard Garcia vs. Chan Sung Jung II
Pat Barry vs. Gilbert Yvel
Mike Swick vs. Carlos Condit
Nate Diaz vs. Diego Sanchez

And what the hell, I'll quickly throw together an all non-Zuffa show while I'm at it...

Fedor vs. Overeem
Arlovski vs. Barnett (might switch the first two, because I'd actually really like to see Overeem vs. Arlovski, but not more than Overeem vs. Fedor)
Henderson vs. Mousasi
Diaz vs. Jacare
Melendez vs. Alvarez

Manhoef vs. Scott Smith
Zaromskis vs. Tyron Woodley
Jorge Masvidal vs. Roger Huerta
Aoki vs. Kitaoka
Marlon Sandro vs. Bibiano Fernandes
Kid vs. Hansen

No GSP on your super card?

Are you high? Both are very careful and precise, but Lyoto is very aggressive when he attacks, just look at the shogun fight, want a summary? Lyoto leaps in starts swinging at shogun's face, shogun evades many of the strikes with his highly raised arms and unloads a massive kick as lyoto backs off. That's aggressiveness and against a guy like Lyoto Anderson would be more aggressive as well. Unfortunately this fight is less likely than a fedor/brock bought.

My ideal card would have a tourney style. 185ers and 205ers are stuck together.
Undercard
George Sotiropoulos/Shinya Ayoki (would just be so awesome)
Bones Jones/King Mo (could be a nice futures type match)
Rashad/Rampage
Shogun/Belfort
Mousasi/Soenen
Cain/Nog
JDS/Carwin

Main Card
Fedor vs Cain/Nog winner
Brock vs JDS/Carwin winner
Anderson Silva vs Shogun/Belfort winner
Lyoto vs Mousasi/Soenen winner
Champions bouts:
Lyoto/Mousasi/Soenen vs Anderson/Shogun/Belfort
Brock/JDS/Carwin vs Fedor/Cain/Nog

George Sotiropoulos/Shinya Ayoki (would just be so awesome)

You probably know but this already happened. Aoki spent the entire fight trying to put him in various foot locks, George escaped them all then accidentally hit Aoki in the balls which lead to him acting as if he'd just been repeatedly pounded in the nuts with a baseball bat, thus the fight was over.

If Bones wins his next fight, who should he be fighting next?

At the same time, who is Ryan Badder's next opponent?

I'm a little different. I'd want it to be a little more realistic. I'll have a couple big fights but I'd fill out the rest of the card with matchups I think would be really interesting.

Fedor vs. Brock
BJ Penn vs. Gilbert Melendez
Cain Velesquez vs. Junior Dos Santos
Clay Guida vs. Takenori Gomi
James Toney vs. Kimbo Slice (gotta luv the freak show)
