What 2 fights would you pick for UFC on FOX?

Forget about schedules and injuries. You can pick 2 fights that you want to represent the UFC on it's big stage debut. What 2 fights in your mind would show the UFC in the best light? No use of the SF roster.

Cain Velasquez vs JDS
Mauricio Rua vs Anderson Silva

Just to throw a couple out there. Jon Jones vs Rampage should be an entertaining matchup and if you are going to focus on 1 division, the LHW division is a good one to roll with.

Then I'll switch it up a little bit, a fight that would feature two of the top 5 BW in the world and a fight that could make a hell of a fly weight championship fight one day. Joe Benividez vs Mighty Mouse. The pace and action of that fight would be extremely entertaining and the scrambles in that fight would be lighting fast. Non stop action that would be can't miss IMO.

JDS vs Reem
BJ vs Nick Diaz- two of my favorite fighters, I would hate to see either lose but for the ufcs first fights on fox what fight would be better really?

You cheated, you used the SF roster! lol, but those would be highly entertaining matchups. A HW standup battle and also 2 of the top p4p fighters who are aggressive and well rounded.

Yeah I know I cheated lol. But honestly your thread made me realize that BJ has to fight Nick before it's all said it done, it's just to entertaining of a matchup to deprive the fans of.

Honestly, since this is such a big deal. I would offer Lylte 250K to come out of retirement and have him fight Leben. Bonnar vs Griffin III. It is that easy. Give the people 2 sets of fighters that throwdown!

He didn't use the Strikeforce roster. None of those 4 are in Strikeforce.

Nick Diaz vs Carlos Condit

Sexyama vs Wandi

Well recently we learned Reem was not released for SF and they exercised the right to wave his last fight. He is still in exclusive negotiations, maybe I should have said UFC fighters only.

You would offer a WW to fight a MW? That is one of the worst suggestions I'm sure anyone will have about this card. If you want to give Leben a generous ranking you could slide him into the very bottom of the top 10. If you just want to entertain, that is clearly your objective here, you could find so many other fights that would out perform that.

Cain Velasquez vs Junior Dos Santos
Anderson Silva vs Jon Jones

Bendo vs Guida for a contenders match and maybe Reem vs Mir?

2 very good fights with a lot of meaning, and when ppl see Reem on fox their fonna tune in

Is the Reem a big enough name though with the casuals?

I think he is saying the look of Reem will interest people.

The same reason Noobs get boners for Lesnar essentially.

Oh ok, yeah he's right about that.

OU, there is something in MMA they call cutting wieght, I am not positive, but fairly certain, Leben could make the weight...but that Guida/Bendo match sounded god too.

I'm pretty positive that if Leben could cut to WW and be a productive fighter, he would have already done so. With a head that size he is lucky to make MW.

Well then Lytle can relax, but it would be fucking entertaining...

Most realistic

Reem vs Mir and Tito vs Franklin, all guys not booked and those fights could be put together.

Would want

For them to move Cain vs JDS to the Fox show

Best options overall

Something including guys like Cain/JDS/Machida/Bones/Rampage/Anderson/Shogun ect big names with top level skills, I'd add Brock as a huge draw if I could.
