| You are the match maker for the UFC. Make your IDEAL cards for FOX 2, UFC Japan and Super Bowl weekend PPV. No repeat of fighters. | |

| ufc on fox 2
i think 205 is a good weight class to headline this, although stressing how this is a pretty new market of casual fans i wouldn't put someone like Phil Davis in the main event, although extremely talented has basically no drawing power. The causal fan could probably care less about Phil Davis. I feel you have to make a great impression here.
honestly im not sure the availability of the fighters but this is what i have in mind
Rashad Evans vs Dan Henderson
Thiago Alves vs Martin Kampmann
Hatsu Hioki vs Kenny Florian
Demian Maia vs Rouismar Palhares

| ufc 143 looks pretty good so far actually
* are rumored fights for this card. I think it should look something like ...
*GSP vs Nick Diaz
Cain Velasquez vs Roy Nelson
*Carlos Condit vs Josh Kosckeck
Clay Guida vs Gray Maynard
*Dustin Poirier vs Erick Koch
*Alex Caceras vs Edwin Figueroa
*Rafael Natal vs Michael Kuiper
*Amir Sadollah vs Jorge Lopez

GSP v Diaz
Anderson v Sonnen
Japan
Rampage v Shogun II
Need to put Fireball, Wand, & Fedor on this card too. | |

| You can't have big names on the Fox card because that would
take away future paper view buys, which is the UFC's bread and butter.
I think Faber vs Cruz 3 would be the perfect fight to headline this card:
- It will be a guaranteed exciting fight, which should go to the decision.
- Would be a perfect way to show the causal fan all the aspects of MMA.
- It will be for a title.
- Faber is a draw, but not a mega star like GSP, Brock, and Anderson are so the UFC won't lose money making this fight free.
- It would be the perfect vehicle to make Cruz a star if he wins and promotes the smaller weight classes.
The only problem I foresee is will Cruz be healthy by then? Or is this too quick of a turnaround for Faber?

| The winner should call out Floyd or Pac. They're the same size right? | |

I agree with this but they will have some bigger names on the Fox cards. Faber vs Cruz 2 is the best fight for the card. However saving some fights for PPV and having big names on Fox is what the UFC wants to do. Chael is on the Fox 2 card because of how big his name has gotten and Zuffa wants to capatalize on that and have him match up with Silva in a PPV. | |
