Make your perfect MMA fight card. 11 fights, 5 main card, and 6 undercard.

Here's mine...

Fedor Emelianenko vs. Brock Lesnar
Anderson Silva vs. Lyoto Machida
Georges St. Pierre vs. Jake Shields
Quentin Jackson vs. Rashad Evans
Jose Aldo vs. Frank Edgar

Shane Carwin vs. Cain Velasquez
Rich Franklin vs. Chuck Liddell
BJ Penn vs. Jon Fitch
Mauricio Rua vs. Jon Jones
Kenny Florian vs. Eddie Alvarez
Vitor Belfort vs. Robbie Lawler

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
Kenny Florian Vs George Sotiropoulos
Dan Hardy Vs Paul Daily
Thiago Alves Vs Henderson
Forrest Vs Kimbo - The mandatory circus act

Fedor vs. Brock
Silva vs. Shogun
GSP vs. Shields
Machida vs. Mousasi
Cain vs. JDS

Rampage vs. Rashad
Florian vs. Aldo
Mir vs. Gonzaga
Couture vs. Toney

Fedor vs Brock
Rampage vs Rashad
GSP vs A.Silva
BJ Penn vs Jose Aldo
Carwin vs Cain V.

Machida vs Shogun
Sotiropoulos vs Edgar
Jon Jones vs Lil Nog
Sonnen vs Vitor
Couture vs anyone

Silva vs. Shogun or Mousasi (need somebody that won't take Silva's ****)
Penn vs. Fitch
Rampage vs. Rashad

There are too many match ups....

Fedor vs Brock (has this been mentioned?)
Silva vs Rampage
Vitor vs Rashad
Florian vs Aldo
Penn vs Nick Diaz
Alves vs Hardy
Le vs Marquardt
Maia vs Shields
Cruz vs Torres
Machida vs Vera
Cane vs whatshisface

No one's mentioned Nick Diaz! C'mon!

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

Fedor Emelianenko
Brock Lesnar
Anderson Silva
GSP
Machida
BJ Penn
Jake Shields
Jose Aldo
Frank Edgar
Rampage
Junior Dos Santos
Shane Carwin
Bones Jones
Rashard
Shogun
Kenny Florian
George Sotiropoulos
Dan Hardy
Paul Daily
Thiago Alves
Henderson
Forrest

I only care about one fighter.

GSP - Silva, Silva, and Silva.

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.

Fedor vs Brock
Shogun vs Belfort
Anderson vs GSP
Cain vs JDS
Penn vs Gilbert

Bones Jones vs Phil Davis
Ayoki vs Sotiropoulos
Faber vs Edgar
Aldo vs M Torres
S Jorgensen vs D Cruz
Florian vs Nate Diaz

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)
