Looking at the upcoming cards and rumored cards there are many matches that should not be. Although the matches might be exciting, there are some pretty messed up decisions which make no sense.
First we have Liddell vs. Jardine. How does this make sense? Sure they are both coming off of losses, but Liddell was Champion for a long time, if anything feed him Alexander. Alexander not only beat Jardine, but DESTROYED him, yet he gets put in a preliminary match. If Jardine pulls off this upset, which is a possibility, his career will go places, and Alexanders goes no where any time soon, win or lose.
Jon Fitch vs. Diego Sanchez (and GSP vs. Koscheck). Jon Fitch should have already had a title shot already, and you can make a case for Diego as well, before his loss to Kos, or Diego and Fitch should have squared off earlier. In my opinion, Kos did not even deserve to face Diego in the first place, but since he beat him that leaves Fitch. Fitch has 6 straight wins which were all exciting and decisive, with only 2 coming from Unanimous Decisions should be facing GSP for the number 1 contender spot.
I'm sure there are more debatable ones from rumored cards. The three I mentioned from the next two upcoming PPVs really stuck out to me, and there are many many more absolutely horrible matchmaking decisions in past PPVs.
I just figured I would vent a little and display my opinion, feel free to discuss.
