The UFC’s middleweight division has gone from grim to gratifying in just a few short years. An entire new crop of prospects have fought their way into the pool of sharks, and it’s left us with a list of fascinating fantasy match-ups, and some blossoming stars.
There’s also a fair handful of talent within the division that could one day give champion Anderson Silva fits.
Speaking of Anderson, you’ll note that he’s not included in this list; neither is Yushin Okami for that matter. I hope you’ve been paying enough attention to already know they’ll be colliding at UFC 134, but if you didn’t know, now you do.
Here’s a look at 10 middleweight fights the fans would like to see, that could stir up the rankings and make for some new marquee top-liners.
