    UFC on FX- Miller v. Guillard - Jan 20

    Thats the date for the next card but I have NO IDEA who is going to be on it

    Here are the people that aren't: Lesnar, GSP, Diaz, Penn, Cain, JDS, Aldo.

    That leaves these possibilities:

    Silva v. Sonnen 2 - Don't think Silva will be healthy by then.
    Edgar v. Henderson/Guida - If Saturday's fight is quick, I could see this.
    Jones/Machida v. Evans - Doubtful but maybe if Jones walks through Machida.
    Cruz v. Faber/Bowles - Possible.

    Any other thoughts?

    I doubt we will see Cruz/Bowles on there if that is possible, but maybe Cruz/Faber 3 since he at least has some semblance of name draw.
    Silva won't be healthy enough for it.

    Possibly a non title main event?

      I think it depends on how well this first one goes. The better does the more likely the next one will be something big.

        I wouldn't mind seeing Phil Davis vs. Thiago Silva on this card.
        Werdum vs. Schaub makes sense or Munoz vs. the winner of Bisping/Miller.

        Guys like Sherk, Dunham, Hardy, Belcher, Vera, Jim and Dan Miller, Carwin, Sotiropoulos, Barry, Struve, Thiago, and Kennedy should be available. How about Herschel Walker!!!!!!!


        There's not too many options for a big main event ouside of Silva vs. Sonnen but I don't think Zuffa would want to give this away for free when they can get 400K+ PPV Buys for this fight.

          I could realistically see Edgar/Henderson as the main event.
          None of the guys above you mentioned in the middle have enough drawing power.
          If this will be a 3 fight card, a title fight then something else would be great.

            I hope its more then one fight. It was a bad result for fox tonight only having one fight and a quick one at that.

              Picking a suitable main event is going to be a big problem it seems.

                Edgar/Henderson is probably going to main event the Japan card in Feb.

                I starting to think it almost HAS to be Silva/Sonnen 2 or Cruz/Faber 3.

                  Is that date official? If it is I would just put GSP v Diaz on the card and find a new main event for 143

                  Cruz v Faber/Bowles would be very underwhelming IMO

                    Not official but likely. The problem with putting GSP on the Fox card is you are giving away a million buys. I will be shocked if Diaz/GSP does less than a million buys.

                      Yeah I was thinking that as well. Finding a balance between putting on a great free show and saving your best shows for PPV's

                        Are they dead set on doing another title fight?

                          I bet it wouldn't matter so long as they could get a combo of an exciting matchup/big names.

                            Would Rampage/Griffin 2 work?

                            I guess if you're only going to do 2 fights then I would think a small weight class like featherweight. Maybe Mark Hominick vs Erik Koch?

                              I think this would be the fight! "America" loves Griffin, and Rampage still has the potential for fireworks.
