Fedor/Lesnar. More people know about Fedor since the latest strikeforce

GSP Silva because all the casual fans know both guys. Brock is an overall bigger draw but it would take some work to get people excited about Fedor without seeing him. But if anyone can get the word out about Fedor, it's the UFC's marketing department.

GSP / Silva.

Marketing wise, this is hands down the fight everyone wants to see. Plus the fight would be amazing and will go down in history. Fedor and Lesnar not so much due to the fact the UFC fans don't have a clue who Fedor is.

lesnar vs fedor.

more and more people are starting to know who Fedor is...and the big HW fights are always the biggest draw to the casual fan. But GSP Silva SHOULD bring in crazy ratings (if that fight ever happens).

Fedor-Lesnar without a doubt.

Fedor and Lesnar are bigger draws alone than GSP and Anderson alone. Together it's not even a contest. Plus they're both vying for the heavyweight throne, one as the UFC HW champ, the other as the HW GOAT and #1 ranked HW for 7 years.

Brock and Fedor
Brock is a way bigger draw than GSP and Anderson

GSP vs Anderson would be a better fight, though

I'd pay for everyone on my street to watch Fedor vs Lesnar just to see the look on their faces when an unassuming looking russian bloke smashes a man mountain to pieces.

Well, I think the bigger draw would be Fedor vs. Lesnar since more people know who Fedor is now and everyone knows who Brock is. A. Silva has never really been a draw for some reason, but GSP is huge due to the Canadian fan base.

In terms of which fight I would be more excited for, I can't decide.
