    UFC WelterWeight Division

    After UFC 111 there is no clear #1 contender for GSP's title. Who should be next for GSP and what matchup should be made to find a contender?

    UFC 113 Daley/Koscheck
    UFC 114 Sanchez/Hathaway
    UFC 115 Thiago/Kampmann and Condit/MacDonald

    Fighters with no current matches

    Jon Fitch
    Dan Hardy
    Thiago Alves
    Anthony Johnson
    Mike Swick
    Jake Shields (likely to sign UFC after Henderson fight)

    The winner of Daley/Koscheck vs Fitch would be a good match for the #1 contender spot.

    I think only thing left for him at welterweight right now is perhaps a season of TUF, other than that the weight class needs at least a year+ to develop legitimate contenders for GSP. If he wants a real fight he's got to bump up to middleweight, but if he does I really hope he doesn't fight Anderson right away if they can sign Anderson to a new contract.

    Also you guys forgot Almeida for this weight class

    Thiago is gonna beat Kampmann easily so he will get GSP next most probly. Imagine a primetime going round with THiago in the favelas!

    Is preatty simple, nobody can compete with him at 170, he has destroyed all the top contenders. He needs to move up a weight class and test himself!

    well after UFC 115 the division is a bit more clear we now have a contender for GSP, but there have been some upset in the divsion Kampmann/thiago Hathaway/sanchez.

    upcoming WW fights

    UFC 117
    Fitch/Alves
    Hughes/Almedia

    UFC???
    GSP/Koscheck

    With UFC 120 taking place in England it is likley they will put both top English WW on the card Hardy and Hathaway. Let the matchmaking begin

    recent winners: Kampmann, Condit, Hathaway, Kim, Shields??
    recent losers: Hardy, Thiago, Sanchez, Johnson, Swick, MacDonald

    I read that Kampmann wants to fight Hardy at UFC 120. Claude Patrick says he wants to fight Kim. I'd be interested in Condit vs. Sanchez if Diego decides to stay up at 170lb, although they have been matching up winners vs. winners more often now.

    If GSP gets past Kos, then he'll probably take on the winner of Fitch/Alves.

    Hardy vs Kampmann and Hathaway vs Condit at 120 would be awesome! Kurt Warburton who beat Ross Pearson early in their careers will also be making his debut at 120 along with Paul Sass of Team Kaoben...he is 10-0 with 9 submission wins, all 7 of his first wins came from triangle chokes...hence the nickname Sassangle...remember the names!

    Big fan of both fighters...only give Hardy the edge because of Home advantage! I imagine Hardy will be 4/5 maybe 4/6 and Condit around Evens?

    diaz is fulfilling my prophecy on his entry into WW, I said he would get 2 wins vs strikers and then he would lose against a wrestler/grappler. Should get a good number on stungun, really wish the stungun/hathaway fight happened.

    and I hope they do condit/kampmann 2 next but it will probably be shields

    I agree Brooks, I like Stungun in this one, think he can smother Diaz to a decision win. Isnt Shields pretty much guaranteed GSP next? More likely to be Condit/Kampmann 2 or Condit vs Pyle or Lytle I reckon.

    With Shileds getting the shot i'm curious to see what they will do with Fitch. The guy is 13-1 inf the UFC and take away that loss to GSP and he has 21 straight wins Do they risk putting in a guy like Condit and killing a possible future match with GSP if Fitch grinds out a win like he usually does

    Give Fitch Mike Pyle or move him up to middleweight I guess!

    Well another dominant win for GSP over Koscheck. The welterweight division is still very ineresting with BJ moving up and some fighters getting some big wins. Here are some matches that are cominf up and then some fights i think would make sense
    UFC 125
    Nate Diaz vs. Dong Hyun Kim

    UFC 127
    Jon Fitch vs. B.J. Penn
    Carlos Condit vs. Chris Lytle

    UFC on Versus 3
    Martin Kampmann vs. Diego Sanchez

    possible next matches

    GSP/Shields
    Koscheck/Hardy
    Alves/A Johnson

    They'll probly do Howard vs A.Johnson due to the beef they have! Also, although Kos vs Hardy would be very marketable because they also have 'beef', I dont think the UFC would want Hardy having an inevitable 3rd loss in a row on his record, they probly want him to get a win before facing Kos but then there arent many guys in the welterweight division that Hardy could beat for sure. IMO a Kos/Hardy fight would just be very similar to Kos/Daley except Hardy proby wouldnt sucker punch Kos after! Claude Patrick is also coming up and hasnt got a fight scheduled yet, and Pyle and Hathaway.

    Please give Hughes a fight with Hallman and let the poor guy retire, Hardy vs Hughes would be unfair. I don't need to see one of those K-1 type retirement fights.
