I came across this article today when trying to find out the status of Fabio Maldonado; http://www.fiveknuckles.com/mma-news/Fabio-Maldonado-wants-to-fight-at-195-lbs-before-dropping-to-middleweight.html & in short it says Fabio wants to drop to middle-weight but wants a fight at Franklin-weight first.

Now Fabio is coming off of 3 losses in a row(tho he has a strong case that he won the first 2) so he's not gonna get any top guy at MW to come up to Franlinweight. I think Chris Leben would be the perfect choice. Coming off of 2 losses himself is as likely to be down to fight at 195 as any MW would be, & stylistically its an very exciting matchup. If you have a twitter account, hit up @FabioMelloMMA, @cripplerufc, Dana, the fertitta's & everyone in the media make this fight happen please. #Rally4Bangfest
