How many super fights are left in UFC?

[JustOnce]

Right now, it's unclear whether Russian fighters are going to be able to compete any time soon with all those sanctions coming for Russians. If Dana was the boss, I'm sure he may not give a fuck, but it looks like Dana is more of a front man and Disney is calling the shots, so it's very murky how things are going to be.

With Islam vs Dariush cancellation, which I thought was one of the best fights that UFC can put on right now across all weight classes, it kinda got me wondering how many super fights are left for UFC to make right now. And when I say super fights, I mean more in terms of their fighting abilities, not their star powers nor name values necessarily, since I don't know if there are many super stars left in MMA really, if at all, I mean Izzy? lol.

I just mean really, a compelling fight between two fighters whom you think are two of the best, if not the best, if not potentially, in their primes, that would get you looking forward to it as much as anything in the world. Or just a good damn fight that you really wanna see.

The way I see it, the potential super fights that remains are not that numerous.

HW: Jones vs Stipe, Gane vs Aspinall, two best HW prospects in a long while
LHW: Jiri vs Hill, just bleed.
MW: Izzy vs Perreira, though no idea if he gets past Bruno.
WW: Khamzat vs Covington/Usman, Brady vs Shavkat
LW: Islam vs Dariush, Islam vs Oliveira/Gaethje winner.
FW: Evloev vs Mitchell/Topuria, though Barboza could derail Mitchell I suppose.
BW: Yan vs Cejudo, Shore vs Usman

What other super fights or damn good fights are left in UFC?

 

[genecop]

350?
Not many given the current roster..

 

[Worthmore]

Conor vs Poirier 4
Conor vs Nate 3
Ngannou vs Jones

 

[Sweater of AV]

Lauzon-Miller 3

 

[JosephTessaro]

I'd say a majority of fights you listed are just good fights, not super fights. My idea of a super fight would be Jones vs. Ngannou or like Usman vs. Adesanya, or Yan vs. Volk...

 

[Get To Da Choppa]

Ronda vs Cain under the right circumstances (i.e. not at sea level) would break all PPV records. The UFC gotta sign them back for that one fight, before Vince McMahon reads Sherdog and books that fight at Wrestlemania

 

[TempleoftheDog]

A superfight is a champion of one division fighting the champion of another division.

Any other definition is simply unacceptable.

 

[Reach4theSky]

Conor vs Poirier 4
Conor vs Nate 3

Conor vs Siver 2

Make it happen Dana..

 

[Masturbin]

Yan vs Volk at 140 is my dream fight.

 

[Worthmore]

Conor vs Siver 2

Make it happen Dana..

That was such a missmatch to begin with the UFC would die if they made that fight again but not gonna lie I would definetely watch it

 

[KBE6EKCTAH_CCP]

Islam vs Israel.
That one would have the whole world watching without knowing why.

 

[Mohawk Banditó]

Lauzon-Miller 3

I believe Joe could get it done this time.
He should have had that rematch. Let's get it done

 

[Sweater of AV]

Agreed, I thought he won the rematch. Hopefully they can make it happen.

A superfight is a champion of one division fighting the champion of another division.

Not one fight you mention is a superfight… …... clown. ….

 

[Johnnny]

Potential super fights?

265: Jones vs Ngannou
185: Usman vs Adesanya
155: Volkanovski vs Oliveira

A wide majority of the general fanbase doesn't care about the tiny weight classes or WMMA, save for the very rare exceptions of McGregor of Rousey. So super fights below 155 aren't possible.

 

[dipstickjimmy]

Conor vs Siver 2

Make it happen Dana..

Conor vs Marcus Brimage 2 would be better IMO

 

[dipstickjimmy]

Nunes vs Volkanovski

Isn't Nunes vs Cejudo far more likely. They are both former BW champions and Cejudo has already thrown his hat into the Intergender Champion discussion.
