I think a good fight also would be Lister vs Almedia I think that would be crazy on the ground.
I'd like to see that match, like I said, but I'm not sure that Almeida can take strikes from a huge dude like Filho (or Barnett, for that matter). Still, I agree that that match would be fun to watch.

I think that Lister vs. Almeida is one of the best matchups that the UFC middleweight division can give us right now, and it would be awesome to watch.
