Top ranked fighters in Limbo in each division

[Moscardino]

What fighter in the UFC do you reckon are currently in bad spots in regards to matchmaking?

Flyweight - everyone is active and smallest division. Noone overlooked.

Bantamweight - everyone is active but bit of a mess at the top wins and losses over one another.

Featherweight - yair and zhabit. Zhabit seems allergic to taking a main event that's 5 rounds and yair is now suspended. Both ain't fought in forever.

Lightweight - Diego Feirerra. Dude beat Pettis then just vanished into ether since.

Welterweight - Chiesa racked up 3 wins and took out Dos Anjos, then seems to not want to take on anyone not in the top 5.

Middleweight - Brunson. Beat Edmun and now seems he'll struggle to find an opponent. Best shot is a rematch with Hall who he says he's not interested in.

LHW - Jiri, noone wants to fight him. Poor guy.

HW - Blaydes, even if he beats Lewis, Ngannou has slayed him twice. He's going to be tough to ask for a third crack at him if he beats stipe.

Any others you can think of?

LHW - Jon Jones - dumped his belt and doesn't seem to know what he wants to do in HW

Bizarre list besides Blaydes. Max Holloway is easily in the worst limbo in the UFC atm as a result of the company's ridiculously foolish decision to keep booking immediate rematches when a title changes hands.

The guy is 29, is one of the greatest fighters ever at his weight class, but he's now on a 3 fight losing streak and 0-2 against the current champ. How many wins in a row would he need for them to make him fight Volk a 3rd time? Also, how can you justify feeding contenders to Holloway who could very well continue dominating the division?

Immediate rematches are easily my least favorite part of the UFC in modern day. They seriously undercut the excitement of a major upset, they hold up the division, and they put marketable names in tremendous risk of going 0-2 in a time period when the company is desperate for stars. I truly can't think of a single valid reason why they should happen.
