The UFC is in a win/win situation right now in the LHW division with Rashad being the #1 contender and Rampage/Jones fighting for the belt right now...Regardless who wins at 135 the UFC has easy fights to sell in Rashad/Jones or Rashad/Rampage...Which would you rather see?

Rashad/Jones. Evans already beat Jackson and it wasn't the most entertaining fight.

@skeet2b I agree I would love to see either one of those rematches to see if rampage can avenge his losses

Hendo vs Machida would be a great fight to sort out the division post Jones/Rampage/Rashad fights

@Poir420 I think Rampage would KO Shogun and Forrest would win by Dec again who do you got?

I think Hendo could beat almost anyone at 205 in the UFC, I would love to see Hendo vs Machida or other wrestlers like Davis and Bader

@skeet2b I think he would KO either one of them and I still think they shouldn't have given the belt to Forrest in that fight to be the champ you have to beat the champ and I really dont think Forrest did that

I wouldn't mind seeing either fight really. the first Rashad Page fight would have benefited from two more rounds. But Rashad against Jones needs to happen. All that bad blood makes for a great fight.

I'd like to see Dan Henderson vs. Lyoto Machida. The winner of that fight would get a shot at the winner of Rashad vs. Jones/Rampage winner.

I'd rather see Rashad/Jones and a Rampage/Shogun re-match.

Much rather see Bones/Rashad, that involves Rashad losing, while a Rampage fight would be another boring decision win.

@Pierce. We definitely should. I don't have a twitter account. Because I think I'd get sucked into it and addicted lol. But yes we should all do this. That's how badly I want to see this fight. It'd just be so competitive imo.
