I love doing these Matchmaking Posts, This time its the Bantamweights.

Cruz vs The Winner of Barao/McDonald - Reason: Pretty simple, The Champ vs The Interim Champ.

The Winner of Wineland/Pickett vs The Loser of Barao/McDonald - Reason: The Wineland/Pickett fight to me is a #1 contender fight. Cruz being injured for so long has really muddied up the 135 division. The Barao/McDonald winner will most likely fight Cruz hopefully by mid 2013. So if that is the case I'm sure the Wineland/Pickett Winner will be fine waiting 9 months for a title shot but if they are not, then a fight with the Loser of Barao/McDonald makes a lot of sense.

The Winner of Faber/Menjivar vs The Loser of Wineland/Pickett - Reason: Faber just lost to Barao who is the Interim Champ, hes always very close to getting another title shot. Mejivar is a top ranked guy, whoever wins this fight should fight whoever Loses in my eyes the #1 contender fight.

Dillashaw vs Jorgensen - Reason: Dillashaw I feel is very much on the rise while Jorgensen is on the decline. This fight makes a lot of sense to me, I could also see Dillashaw getting matched up with Easton, they already were supposed to fight so don't be surprised if that happens.

Viana vs Bedford - Reason: Both are 2-0 in the UFC, Both are coming off great KO victories, This fight has Bangfest written all over it. It makes sense and it would be a very fun fight.

Assuncao vs The Loser of Faber/Menjivar - Reason: Assuncao beat top prospect Mike Easton in his last fight. Hes been looking really good in his last few fights, A step up in competition makes sense.

Easton vs Bowles - Reason: I don't know when Bowles is gonna fight again I hope soon. If he does come back and wants to fight within the next 6 months, a fight with Easton makes sense. Easton just lost for the first time in his UFC career, Bowles hasn't fought in over a year and it would be a good comeback fight for him.

The Winner of Perez/Bloodworth vs The Winner of Rivera/Figueroa - Reason: Perez and Rivera are two top guys at 135, I have them ranked at #16 & #17, I see them both winning their upcoming fights, so I'd love to this fight and it makes sense.

So those are some of the fights I think should happen next.
