Last weekend’s double-header of “The Ultimate Fighter 12 Finale” and Strikeforce “Henderson vs. Babalu II” was a nice dose of MMA with some good action. The “TUF” finale crowned Jonathan Brookins as the season 12 winner, giving the lightweight a nice boost as he jumps into the sport’s deepest division, with the WEC merger making it a packed talent pool.

Meanwhile, the Strikeforce card delivered a trifecta of consecutive stoppages which were probably the most brutal trio of knockouts in the history of the sport. After Paul Daley’s booming hook took out Scott Smith, “Ruthless” Robbie Lawler followed with a savage, coma-inducing bombing of Matt Lindland. In the main event, Dan Henderson put together a series of right hands that left Renato Sobral senseless.

These kinds of stoppages are fairly rare, and to have this many in a row on the same card was a freak occurrence. What Daley, Lawler and Henderson do in their next bouts is anyone’s guess, but their performances Saturday made a lot of people want to watch. Here are five matchups we’d like to see after this weekend’s double-dip of MMA.
