Lots of future matchup type threads so here is another one...
What do you guys want to see happen in the LHW division for matchups.
We already know that Shogun is fighting Rashad.
I would like to see Machida fight Griffin, Lil Nog fight Bader and Jackson fight Jones.
Machida needs to fight someone that is top 10 but I wouldn't want to feed him one of the up and coming fighters in Bader or Jones. Griffin has leg kicks and decent stand up with long range, I think he would be a good test for Machida as long as Griffin doesn't go kamikaze like he did against Silva.
Lil Nog was rather disappointing against Brilz and I think Bader would have a really good shot against him. Would let us get to see how far Bader's stand up has come as well.
Jackson fighting Jones is a very tough fight for Jones. Jackson needs to fight someone though and Jones needs to take the next step up as long as he beats Matyushenko like I expect him to. Either that or give Jackson an easier opponent like Vera or if he will wait then Thiago Silva(still don't get why he is fighting Boetsch...)
What do you guys think and what would you do?
