Re: MW matchmaking
Although he lacks a large body of work, Weidman's wins over Maia and Munoz are more significant than Stann's, Bispings or Belcher's top 2 wins. The UFC really wants Bisping to string together enough quality wins to get a title shot b/c they can promote the hell out of it. I think much depends on if Anderson plans on fighting again in 2012. I've heard Lombard mentioned for a title fight but only as a possibility. Honestly for the casual fan he still lacks name recognition. Belcher or Stann would all make good fights for Bisping but I think if the idea is to have an opponent ready for Anderson in early to mid 2013 you go with Weidman/Bisping. If Anderson wants to fight before the end of the year then Lombard/Boetsch winner is going to be the go to guy and it doesn't really matter wich combo Stann/Belcher/Weidman/Bisping go in.
