Welcome to an idea I thought of while watching the fights last night at around 3:30am. I Matthew Parker the self-proclaimed Unintelligent Matchmaker will attempt to suggest what should be next for the winners and losers at UFC events.
Will Campuzano:
A trip to the unemployment line he clearly isn't UFC caliber.
Chris Carisio:
Kind of hard to judge where a guy's at having never seen him fight and knowing so little about the Bantamweight division. That however doesn't stop me from suggesting the loser of the Kid/Mighty Mouse fight as a potential opponent.
Amilcar Alves:
Same with Campuzano a trip to the unemployment line, the loss to Brenneman was his second straight in the UFC.
Charlie Brenneman:
A rematch with John Howard makes a good deal of sense.
Willamy Friere:
First of all he should drop to featherweight as he clearly doesn't have the strength to compete at lightweight in the US. Once he does that a fight against either George Roop or Mike Brown should happen.
Waylon Lowe:
Nik Lentz that way we can be rid of one lay and pray guy.
Mike Brown:
I've already suggested Friere should the brazillian decide to drop to 145 otherwise a fight with Roop in a "loser leaves town" bout or possibly the unemployment line await the former champion.
Rani Yahya:
Josh Grispi
Mike Guymon:
Will either be cut or retire either way I think he's done in the UFC.
Damarques Johnson:
Pascal Krauss
Cody Mckenzie:
A battle of the one trick ponies with Paul Sass. Someone will go to sleep!
Yves Edwards:
Him and Jeremy Stephens would be a fun fight.
Cole Miller:
Winner of the Cerrone/Kelly fight for obvious reasons.
Matt Wiman:
Evan Dunham or Kenny Florian.
Joey Beltran:
Announced the fight was "loser leaves town" a few months ago in which case so long Joey.
Pat Barry:
The winner of the Mccorkle/Morecraft fight.
George Roop:
Either Mike Brown or WIllamy Friere if Friere drops to 145. Either way it's the last chance saloon for Roop.
Mark Hominick:
Title shot in his home province is already secure.
Tim Hague:
Should go away and never darken the octagon again.
Matt Mitrione:
Loser of Cro Cop/Schaub
Evan Dunham:
Either Matt Wiman or Takanori Gomi.
Melvin Guillard:
Clay Guida is the go to answer in this situation but as they are teammates the answer in this situation is the winner of Jim Miller/Kamal Shalrous.
So concludes the first edition of Unintelligent Matchmaking I will see you after UFC 126.
id love to see Yves take Stephens,ex ellent idea i kinda wish Marcus Davis was styll around, as i'd like to see those two duke it out
ReplyDeletei think Meathead should be given someone with a lil bit of a name/streak
i mean if Schaub deserves Cro Cop
Give meat someone a lil up there
the Cody/Paul Sass fight is a phenomenal idea
I'd give Melvin the winner of G-sot and.. i ferget
but yeah, if ettis is gonna be stayin relevant and he's next after Maynard, Melvin will need to stay active too
I see some good ideas in here.
ReplyDeleteAnd Sotiropoulos will be taking on Siver, so we'll see how that all works in.
Meathead should fight Brendan Schaub. Former NFL athletes with similar styles and similar promise. Crocop should be switched to the Brazil card vs. Nog.
ReplyDeleteYves Edwards could fight Gomi in a senior tour battle, but with Gomi off a loss that makes less sense. He could also be fed to Melvin Guillard. But I'd really like to see him take on Clay Guida instead. Guida vs Pettis makes no sense.
Melvin is now in title contention, bad win and performance against Stevens or not. Screw Clay Guida vs Anthony Pettis. Seriously. Screw that fight. Showtime vs The Young Assassin must happen. Not only would it make more sense in the division, it is a fight I'd die to see. Otherwise, Melvin could fight Yves Edwards.
Evan Dunham should fight someone else off a loss. Cody McKenzie, or Cole Miller perhaps? Gomi? Florian still makes sense. Or he could rematch the Muscle Shark. A lot of options here.
Mike Guymon should fight Thales Lietes or Matt Horwich(in the MFC) in a fight no one who doesn't work for a blog would be willing to watch on purpose.
Matt Wiman vs Clay Guida also makes sense. Have I mentioned how ridiculous Clay Guida vs Anthony Pettis is is with the current state of the division?
Pat Barry should end the UFC career of Chieck Kongo. Although Carwin may be doing that already.
Mike Brown took this fight on short notice, and while I know there will be a lot of call for his dismissal, give him George Roop in one more last chance.
Meathead would starch Brendan .. Nelson took Brendan out of the land of the living, and Meat would put a hurt on him, Jackson camp or not
