Looks like 2012 is shaping up to be another great year for the UFC. With that in mind, I thought I’d post the 5 fights that I would most like to see for each of the current weight divisions.

* Please keep in mind that the fights are based on who I would like to see throwdown from a fan/entertainment perspective (also, I ignored Dana’s statement that the Strikeforce fighters will all be staying put).

Feel free to post some of the fights you would most like Joe Silva to book in the coming year.
