Fights to Make After UFC 297: Strickland vs Du Plessis

[Dana's Conscience]

Unless DDP has a broken orbital or something, he's going to fight Izzy next, and it'll be 300's main event.

Nice list, OP. However, wouldnt loser of Costa/Whittaker vs. Sean make more sense instead of winner? Winner has to fight Khamzat or for the title?

Cannonier vs Khamzat

 

[Hdfi]

DDP vs Izzy or Khamzat
Strickland vs Cannonier 2
Evloev vs Ortega or Emmett
Pennington vs Aldana

Good list @Siver! I believe Roman Kopylov has already been announced as the replacement opponent for Fluffy so both Curtis and Barriault would need different matchups.

I wouldn't object too strongly to Cannonier getting a title shot especially since it could be his last chance to make a run but his decision loss to Adesanya and his decision win over Strickland didn't exactly light the world on fire. I imagine the UFC will go with either Izzy or Khamzat.

Izzy vs DDP seems like a fight that should really happen in Africa but I don't know if the UFC is ready for that yet.

Bueno Silva vs. Aldana is a good next fight that could likely end in a finish.

DDP vs izzy
