Steve, I think the winner of Cote v. Almeida is still probably one win away from a title shot, especially if it's Almeida. Maybe they do the winner of this match against the winner of Marquardt v. Leites. Whoever wins (as long as it's not Marquardt) will look like the most viable contender this side of Matt Lindland.

Re: UFC 86 Main Card Prospects
Rampage vs Forrest
Koscheck vs Lytle
Mir vs McCully
Stevenson vs Tibau
Griffin vs Aurelio
Almeida vs Cote
There's only room for 5. Honestly, I say they start promising 6 fights. What the hell.

Re: UFC 86 Main Card Prospects
Koscheck vs Lytle
Mir vs McCully
Stevenson vs Tibau
Griffin vs Aurelio
Almeida vs Cote
Out of these choices, I would probably put Stevenson vs Tibau on the unaired portion. Rampage vs Forrest is a given. Both Koscheck and Lytle had very impressive victories in their last fights. The heavyweight division needs more contenders and the winner of this bout could be moving up the ladder. IF HW division was fine as it is, I would probably have picked this one instead. Griffin goes all out everytime. And both guys also won their last fights. Almeida vs Cote will showcase a very good style matchup, striker vs grappler. Stevenson vs Tibau is probably the least important in terms of marketing the divisions and fighters. There are so many good 155'ers right now and these two just lost their last fights.
