Dana pretty much dismissed the idea of Adesanya vs Costa so as not to eliminate a prospect.

Given where their respective wins from this weekend puts them I'd say either of them could be fighting Brunson or Branch next. If you had to book it who would you prefer?

I think I'd go Adesanya vs Brunson and Costa vs Branch.

Thoughts?
 
I think Branch has the boxing and the underrated chin to give Costa a proper test. With Adesanya, he isn't a power puncher so perhaps Brunsons chin will hold up in the fight to really put his wrestling into effect and see how much Adesanya's grappling evolves between fights.
 
Branch vs Romero
Costa vs Brunson
Jacare vs Weidman
Adesanya vs Thiago Santos (literally an unmissable fight)
 
Israel vs Brunson seems good , gotta give Israel the "wrestler test" to see just how good he really is with tdd and being able to get back up. I like it.

Costa vs Branch isnt bad either , Branch is an underrated guy and has the skills to finish Costa by sub or KO.

I like both ...
