Israel Adesanya - Since both guys and Dana White agreed they wouldn’t make the trilogy fight, I can’t see anyone else for Izzy than Khamzat Chimaev providing he beats Paulo Costa sometime this year. Adesanya deserved a long layoff and a December fight against Chimaev makes a lot of sense.
Alex Pereira - Pereira is off to 205, that weight cut can’t be good for him. Aleksandar Rakić should welcome him to the division when he recovers from his long term injury.
Gilbert Burns - If Edwards vs Covington is to be believed, then Belal Muhammad vs Gilbert Burns makes sense as a number 1 contender fight for next shot at the belt.
Jorge Masvidal - He announced his retirement after losing the final bell went, he’ll be remembered for that awesome flying knee knockout. Thanks for everything Jorge.
Rob Font - He called for the Petr Yan fight and I’d be inclined to agree. Make it a 5-round fight night main event and it’ll be a technically brilliant matchup.
Adrian Yanez - He’ll fight down the rankings next, he should fight Jonathan Martinez who’s coming off a win over Said Nurmagomedov.
Kevin Holland - Holland probably jumps in at number 15 thanks to Masvidal’s retirement. Give me Kevin Holland vs Neil Magny.
Santiago Ponzinibbio - Ponzi is in a tough spot where he’s getting older but should probably fight someone on the cusp of being ranked. His timeline works out well with Trevin Giles.
Christian Rodriguez - Put him in there with another top prospect in Cameron Saaiman, it would be a brilliant fight.
Raul Rojas Jr - He’s in a tough spot where he needs someone fairly well-known to be in there with. Give me Ricky Turcios who’s coming off a win over Kevin Natividad.
