    Cowboy's Stadium, December, 2015

    Try to use fighters who aren't currently booked or would blow-off booked matches for a superior one.



    Fight #1: McGregor vs. Aldo

    This is the biggest headliner they can create outside of Jones/Cormier 2, or possibly even bigger than that. I think only the return of GSP or Silva would rival it at this point now that everyone admits that McG is legit as fuck.

    Fight #2: Rousey vs. Cyborg

    This is the second-biggest. Ronda is the biggest casual draw and Cyborg is the most legit opponent out there. They lose a lot of heat if they book Tate again (who has already opened as an 11-to-1 dog and will get longer from here).

    Fight #3: Cerrone vs. Pettis 2

    Getting Cowboy on this card seems like a must. If RDA isn't ready to go, Cerrone could rematch Pettis.

    Fight #4: dos Santos vs. Overeem

    Card needs heavyweights. Interesting fight with the zombie-like JDS facing the current tactical version of The Reem.

    Fight #5: Shogun vs. Rampage 2

    The rematch that should've happened but didn't. Two more big names in a classic match-up.


    What say you?

    I think that would be a snooze fest with Nate getting grapple fucked.

    Overeem retweeted a screencap from MMA Tonight or something that had Jacare/Romero and Cruz/Dillashaw on the undercard.

    Three title fights can make for a long night but they are intriguing fights as well.
