It doesn't mean you actually think the champion would lose, but rather the guy that would present the most challenges for them stylistically.

125: Cody Garbrandt
135: Cody Garbrandt
145: Chad Mendes
155: Kevin Lee
170: Rory MacDonald
185: Gegard Mousasi
205: Jon Jones
265: Brock Lesnar

Yes, I know what you're thinking about Cody and TJ. But I still think that Cody is the toughest matchup for TJ at 135, despite getting knocked out in their first fight. I don't like Moraes' chances of beating Dillashaw either.

Cody would have an even easier weight cut to 125 than TJ would, and should be favoured over Mighty Mouse in my opinion.
 
205 jj 265 blaydes jj francis 145 ortega 155 laquinta ortega mcgreggor 170 who knows 185 yea mousassi
 
We get it, you’re a No Love supporter.
 
170: Rory MacDonald
185: Gegard Mousasi
205: Jon Jones
265: Brock Lesnar

My brother, these guys aren’t even in UFC. By this logic I could say mike Tyson poses biggest challenge to heavyweights and Bruce Lee would just about kick everyone else’s ass.

pretty good list.

I think prime Cain beats Stipe, but I think 2018 Cain is too injured and broken-down to be a legitimate threat, which is why I went with Lesnar (assuming he can somehow circumvent USADA).

Isn’t GSP avoiding Woodley like the plague?


Good list by TS. I agree with it.

you could definitely be right. cain needs to get out there and show us what he can (or can't) do at this stage in his career. I think he'll come back strong. I could be wrong, but only one way to find out.
