Lightweight is IMO the most stacked division in all of MMA.  We're going to get to see some sick fights over the coming year...

Henderson is good, but im more excited over the possible matchups for Donald Cerrone.  I'd like to see Cowboy fight a Ufc guy right off the bat (Maybe Cowboy vs. Evan Dunham or Cole Miller). He's at that level where he should be fighting guys like that anyway.  
Predictions
 40/61

Now they just need to sign Eddie Alvarez and Gil Melendez.  Probably Josh and JZ too.

Aldo vs Edgar would be an interesting match-up.
