Joe Silva has one of the best jobs in the world, doesn’t he? The UFC matchmaker is responsible for deciding who fights who in the UFC. It’s a job that I am sure most UFC fans would love. Fans often debate what matches they would put together if they were in his spot.

In this article, I’m going to discuss what I would do with the heavyweight division.

My rules for this are:

  • Any fights already set up will not be changed.
  • I will not take into consideration injuries, bad decisions or dominant performances that skip someone up a ladder just because they are unpredictable.  
  • I cannot sign any Strikeforce fighters, although Cormier and Barnett would be good additions to the UFC.
