The purpose of this thread is probably just a cure for boredom but people can bring up interesting matchups (preferably that have not been discussed to death, Wandy-Liddell or are unrealistic/lopsided, Fedor-Kanehara) and discuss how the fights would go down.

I'll get the ball rolling.

Couture vs. Nog

A Sherdog writer brought up this match and it seems interesting. I think Couture could take a decision. He would take Nog down and work some conservative GnP and avoid subs IMO.

Linland vs. Henderson

Battle of former team Questers. They know each other well so it is a little hard to predict. I'd give it to Henderson by TKO/KO. Henderson's standup is def. better, and both have great wrestling obviously. Linland's bjj is better but Henderson isn't easy to sub as it took Nog a lot of work to finally catch him. Linland's best shot is to try to neutralize and wear Henderson down to take a decision from a gassed Hendo.

I'd like to see Liddell vs Franklin even though they're not in the same weight class.

I think that would make for an interesting fight, both have knockout power, and love to stand and trade.

[jas123]

Yeah that's a good one too. Since Franklin started at 205, it's not that crazy either. It would be a standup war, but I see Chuck catching Rich and ending it by KO.

[Alexander]

Thanks for the boredom killer.

I gotta say I would go against you on both of your picks, I'd take Nog by sub and Lindland by dec.

GSP vs Anderson Silva- Tough one to call, but I'd go with GSP by GnP. Although Anderson could easily make GSP look retarded standing up.

Kharitonov vs Sylvia- Kharitonov by punch to Sylvia's mail slot.

Kid Yamamoto vs Keith Hackney(95)- I apologize.

I can't think of **** right now, I'll get back to you.

[Beowulf]

While neither of these guys are top-notch, I'd like to see Tito vs. Bisping.

A Wandy vs. Tito rematch would be great: I think Wandy would have some fun with that one.

Obviously Shogun vs. Chuck and Wandy vs. Chuck

I'd like to see Ninja vs. Franklin. I know he hasn't looked good recently, but he was awesome a couple of years ago. He has only lost to top of the food chain guys (except Randleman, who is a huge threat to anyone despite...) Ninja has a good gas tank and absolutely brings it (or at least he used to). Ninja vs. A.Silva would be interesting as well. Being former teammates makes the fight even more interesting.

Fedor vs. Couture: While I think Fedor would demolish him standing, Randy could pose a threat. I don't think he would take Fedor down, though.

Jacare vs. Silva: Silva would obviously take the standup, but Jacare appears athletic as hell, and his standup looked decent. I think he'll be a major player in the future.

Sylvia vs. Sammy Schilt: Why the hell not?

Sylvia vs. JLB (aka Rogue's wet dream ): This would be great. BTW, I read somewhere that JLB had a severe knee injury that slowed him down and limited his arsenal greatly in his last K1 showing.

Sherk vs. Mini-Me: So that Sherk could finally fight someone his own size to Savage

I could go on. I'll save you the annoyance.

I wouldnt mind seeing:

Fedor vs. Chuck: I (like everyone else) think Fedor is an untouchable God in MMA and I dont think he is really human. However, Id love to see Chuck fight someone with superior striking that would probably just stand and swing with him. Fedor KOs the Iceman, but I think it would be fun to watch.

Couture vs. Wandy: Just like to see the different styles collide.

Tito vs Silva: Id like to see how Titos power would matchup with Andersons standup.

[exnihilo]

Lindland vs. Silva
Fedor vs. CC rematch
Couture vs. Barnett rematch
Arlovski vs. Kharitonov
Liddell vs. Shogun

[quote=Rogue Drone;754280]Some very interesting matchups here.

Lots of love for flavor of the month Couture, not sure if it's justified based on a single fight for massively outsmarting a conservative one dimensional fighter.

I'm no longer on JLB's sack, he's lost it.

I'm trying to think of a good matchup for Paulo Filho, I would say Randelman on power if he had subs, otherwise I'm at a loss.

Liddell versus Cyborg Santos and Liddell versus Melvin Manhoef.

One we should have seen a long time ago, Ken Shamrock and Mark Coleman, probably too late now.[/QUOTE]


This fantasy though. We could say Shamrock/Coleman circa, let's say 1994?

Aleks Emelianenko vs Jerome LeBanner now!

[Rogue Drone]

That would be a good fight, Aleks_JLB. Faded as he is, I'd still take JLB because Aleks has fast hands but a poor defense to a straight stalking hard puncher like Jerome.

Lidell does well in countering grapplers who punch at him, let's see what he can do against ultra aggressive hitters in MMA that can slug inside and I'd like to see how he would fare against technicians like Feitosa and Leko and Bojansky in K-1 with more tools in their game. Lights out, Iceman.

Late Nineties GNP Glamrock and the Hammer was a fight that should have happened. I'd go with the best ever straight slam and pound Bulls ever, Coleman or Kerr over Shamrock's chance to spin off for a leg lock.

[Alexander]

Mike Tyson vs Chuck Liddell in K-1 now.

[Rogue Drone]

Two can play that game.

Rickson Gracie versus Bruce Lee.

The Hulk beat the Thing, I'm a happy fantasizier fight dweeb.

[exnihilo]

Haha, getting crazy now are we?

A match to the death, Jesus vs. Hitler!

[Rogue Drone]

Hitler was an illusion of Satan, a paranoid speed freak runt with hypnotic oratorary skills. Jesus was the real deal, he had desert cardio, he's wear Adolph out with 40 days and night of clinches mixed with vicious crosses and the occasional spinning heel hook. Booya, B***h!!

Satan, Lucifer, that's the match with God Almighty, a billion round ongoing brawl, to date, a draw.

[Sir Savage]

Tyson would give Liddell the beating of his life, no matter what the rules are.

Liddell will try to stand with him, just like he does everyone else, only here's a guy who's probably the fiercest boxer of all time- and a nut to boot.

The Iceman cometh and get smasheth to pieces.

I was thinking Jesus would finalize with a crucifix choke

The Glory years Tyson, possibly. The Tyson of today doesn't have the heart or drive for it anymore. Of course, knowing how to defend against leg kicks and takedowns is something that boxers aren't known for...

[brass monkey]

Battle of the name sakes
Ken Shamrock vs Frank Shamrock
Royce Gracie vs Renzo Gracie
Wandy Silva and Anderson Silva vs Tim Sylvia {tag team}
since were throwing in boxing I think Melvin Gillard Vs Zab Judah would be interesting
