Cyril Gane vs. Francis Ngannou

Derrick Lewis vs. Winner of Blaydes/Rozenstruik

Jose Aldo vs. Rob Font

Pedro Munhoz vs. Frankie Edgar

Vincente Luque vs. Gilbert Burns (this is a tough one. I really think it should be Burns vs Edwards to face the winner of Usman/Covington. If that's the case, then Luque vs Masvidal makes sense, exciting fight. Yes, I know that Luque and Burns are friends or whatever)

Tecia Torres vs. Yan Xiaonan

Yadong Song vs. Cody Stamann

Black Beast needs to earn that fight. He should fight someone else coming off a loss.
 
Why? I don’t think anyone really wants to see Usman v Burns 2 anytime soon.

I agree. Burns is at least 2 fights away from another shot at Usman. Now, if Usman loses the belt, things get a bit interesting.

It's not a lock Usman beats Colby. If Colby somehow got the belt he's a fresh match up for the entire top 10.
 
Luque and Burns will never fight each other. They're really close friends.

Luque vs Mas would be amazing but I think Luque starches Mas at this point. And I love Masvidal.


Luque vs Edwards 2 would be good also. It makes the most sense for next shot I believe.
 
I think Stipe vs Lewis would be a great fight but does Lewis deserve to fight what
many had in their rankings as the #1 contender after getting TKO'd?

Lewis vs Rozenstruik would be great, if Rozen beats Blaydes.

Burns kinda seems like the odd man out if Usman wins, even though he's a top 3 WW, IMO.
