1. Chuck Liddell vs. Tito Ortiz
2. Forrest Griffin vs. Keith Jardine
3. Andrei Arlovski vs. Marcio Cruz
4. Chris Leben vs. Jason MacDonald
tito can make more money for them with the rematch. as well as putting asses in seats for every single title defense, because everyone loves or hates him
if Forrest wins, they can bring a legit title contender up. they can talk about the narrow split to Tito. they can bring up Bonnar 2x. forrest has a huge following, and they'll love it if he fights for the strap.
they need AA to win. why else put him against a guy that couldnt beat Monson in the standup? they need to stir the pot in a shitty HW division by reminding everyone that while the champ might be boring, they still have a monster that knocks kids out before the 2 minute mark
and Leben could get even more hype before a big fight with someone like Swick or Terrell if he beats Mac. Mac is riding on a lot of hype from beating a mid-level ground fighter that everyone just happened to know. if Leben derails him, he can reasonably move to a big fight, maybe even a fight for contendership
