Both of these fights would be amazing.
Both guys (Benividez & Jorgenson) are coming off decision losses to UFC BW Champ Dominick Cruz.
Uriah Faber meets Dominick at UFC 132, then there needs to be another top contender waiting for the winner.
Mighty Mouse is on his way to a title shot with UFC wins over Kid Yamamoto and former champ Miguel Torres. It only makes sense to test him against another top BW in either Jorgenson or Benividez.
What do you think?

Benavidez already has a fight scheduled with Wineland, and it's a close fight that he isn't going to be a large favorite in.
If Faber is champ I doubt they'd even consider fighting anyway. So putting Benavidez against a guy one fight from #1 contender status doesn't make much sense to me.
Jorgensen might be a good choice, although he just lost a title fight, but I could see them making that fight. I think if Bowles beats Mizugaki that would be a pretty good fight too.
A fight with Jorg would be amazing.

Oh snap I forgot about that!

Well Uriah is friends with Jorgenson too, I think if it was for a title they'd fight no doubt. Plus regarding Benividez, I'm pretty sure he's dropping to 125 as soon as Zuffa implements that weight class.

I have been waiting for Brian Bowles return for a while! He put up the best fight against Cruz to this date. He's definitely in the mix with Faber, Jorgenson, Benividez, and Might Mouse!
I'd like to see Might Mouse fight any of those guys!
mighty mouse against jorgenson or the winner of bowles/mizu makes a lot of sense
