I don't remember seeing and can't find any thread about who is next or a thread about how do your rate it? I personally would rate the event pretty low, probably a 4 or 5. I did not enjoy it very much.

Bendo vs Nate- already set
Frankie vs Cub Swanson or Gray Maynard- then give him another title shot, seriously. Even though I hate this guy.
Cowboy vs Pettis- seems to be all but "official" at this point.
Melvin vs Gleison Tibau-coming off losses, both probably still top 10 LW in the UFC.
Jake Shields vs Yushin Okami- might be boring, but it makes sense.
Yushin Okami vs Jake Shields- above
Ed Herman vs CB Dollaway

Would be cool if we could this...
Frankie vs Gil or Alvarez- too bad Frankie can't do a crossover fight with Gil, also too bad Alvarez won't be in the UFC for a few more months. Fun matchups.

Jake Shields vs Maia at a catchweight. Jake went up, Maia went down. But still an interesting matchup. Do it at 180.

Or Roger Gracie vs Jake Shields- both are at MW right now, just sounds like an interesting matchup.

This is going to sound dumb but what if Melvin were to cross over to SF and fight Thompson? Both are exciting to watch. The winner of that fight gets a shot at Gil? He has no competition left.

Just an idea.

Ben Henderson vs. Nate Diaz
Frankie Edgar vs. Jose Aldo
Donald Cerrone vs. Anthony Pettis
Melvin Guillard vs. A sports psychologist
Jake Sheilds vs. Yushin Okami makes sense

Quote :
"I think people have seen some really great fights of Jake’s where he’s tapped people out with one-arm guillotines and stuff from the mount and all these other things he’s done, armlocks and everything, and I think for Jake, he needs to really get back into that, to finishing. We’re not going to change a tiger at this point in the game. We have to [say], ‘Look, Jake. This is what got you here. It’s finishing people. You’re a world-class grappler. Let’s focus on finishing.’ There’s so many great 185-pounders. Jake has already fought Okami. Jake beat Okami. Hopefully they’re going to give him somebody else, is what I’m hoping for, but like I said, I wouldn’t be surprised if they did want that matchup."

The Okami fight was six years ago both fighters have evolved and improved vastly since then.

I think Okami has improved.

Jake IMO has not done much improving. Maybe he just looked like ass at WW, but I dont think I will ever be impressed by him.

Kind of crazy that Jake has a win over the current LHW and WW #1 contenders.

I am not saying he sucks I am just saying he has never been an exciting fighter. I dont think he has gotten any better either. But once again that could have just been WW was not where he needed to be. Either way he should fight Okami.
