| Aldo vs. Frankie/Gray winner
Pettis/Bendo winner vs. KenFlo
Varner vs. Gomi
Faber vs. Griffin rematch
Not as many as I thought in retrospect | |

| Frankie/Gray winner vs Pettis/Bendo winner has to be 1st to unify the titles.

| LW has no challengers though anymore, and more and more the WEC guys are seen as top ten. I think it would be a compelling enough fight to justify watching it. | |

| I can't do it, I think we'd find these guys are lesser then, Frankie, Bj, Gray, Ken, Sherk, Dunham, Griffin, and close with others, I need to see assimilation like Condit. | |

| Condit and the WEC WW's don't reflect the talent of their LW's. Chael ended up looking like a great contender didn't he, and he was basically the MW champ over there.
There is a dearth of talent at LW. Fine, let Sherk or Kenflo fight for the WEC title and whoever wins fights the UFC champ. | |

| Damn Bendo's beating KenFlo now, they really need to do this merger so we can really see what's up.
Maynard goes from undefeated and fighting for the Title to Shalorus
Edgar Aldo would have to be the first merged fight made, Faber's at BW now if anything he should fight Griffin in a rematch. | |

| Aldo vs Penn. Even with the losses I find this fight much more interesting then Edgar vs Aldo.
I can't see Faber vs Griffen being as how one is a BW while the other is a LW. | |

| Solid adds Oggy, Nate and Cerrone would be a good fight, though I do like Nate as a WW now. Gray and Bendo would be interesting. | |

So the title of the thread isn't "What are the first notable fights you'd want to see if the WEC merged with the UFC tomorrow?"? It poses a question as to what kind of fights would be exciting to various people. How would Kamal Shalorus and his olympic level wrestling as well as power style striking not be exciting against Gray Maynard? Is Shalorus top 10? No. Would it be an exciting fight? Yes. | |

I just can't give Kamal that fight, I should have said what logical fights... | |

| Only Jose Aldo vs. Frankie Edgar and any top LW.
Every other fight i would clamor to see can be made with WEC as it is barring certain UFC LW's moving down to 145.
Don't really care what they do with the LW's as i don't think any of them would be any more than gatekeepers to the gatekeepers in UFC.
Maybe Ben Henderson vs. Clay Guida: Hair vs. Hair match. | |
