I'd bump Rashad to the front of the line if he does drop down to MW. He's got the most street cred and is a major league, mainstream draw.
I think that bout makes the most sense while they establish the winner of Weidman/Munoz with one more bout, possibly against Vitor or maybe winner of Boetsch/Lombard for the #1 contendership.
PPV-wise, while I truly believe a Bisping/Anderson bout would 99.97% be a snuff film, I also believe it has big money potential and outside of Evans, I think is the biggest draw to go up against Anderson.
I'd like to see Munoz take on Anderson IF he beats Weidman impressively, however I haven't liked his cardio on occasion and think his striking has alot of holes that one just cannot have against Anderson.
IMO:
1. Evans
2. Bisping straight-up just for the mainstream factor
3. Winner of Munoz/Weidman vs. Lombard/Boetsch after a title eliminator
4. Cung Le in China.
