It's time to play armchair matchmaker for the winners from UFC 174 in Vancouver! Looking back at the event, Demetrious Johnson retained his belt, continuing his run as the UFC's only flyweight champion ever. Rory MacDonald got back in the game, Ryan Bader dominated a former Strikeforce champ, and Ovince St. Preux broke Ryan Jimmo's arm while attempting a Kimura in a gory finish. Andrei Arlovski pulled out a split decision win in his comeback fight, but likely needs another tune-up before seeing any serious challenge put before him. On the undercard, a fantastic scrap on the woman's bantamweight side means a promotional newcomer will get a step up in competition, a pair of Japanese fighters in Michinori Tanaka and Kiichi Kunimoto won big, and South Korean Tae Hyun Bang banked $100,000 in bonus money - all three will be looking at tougher competition moving forward. So let's take a look at who the winners from UFC 174 could be meeting in their next trip to the octagon.
