What would you do ? How would you book these guys ?

I’m going Kamaru VS the Winner of Diaz/Edwards
Masvidal VS Luque
Covington VS loser of Diaz Edwards
Borz vs Neil Magny ASAP
Gastelum VS Nick Diaz
 
If Wonderboy beats burns he deserves the next shot over Diaz/Edwards.
Make Covington fight the winner of Diaz/Edwards for next shot or the shot after Usman vs Wonderboy if that scenario plays out, Colby should have taken the Edwards fight over Diaz.
Luque should fight Masvidal or Chiesa.

Edit: Edwards is ranked one higher than Wonderboy but does he really deserve the shot after so much inactivity and a win over Diaz? nah no way, Wonderboy is on a more active win streak and a Burns win would be way more impressive than a Diaz win.

There's no fixing the current bullshit. Nonsensical title shots, no top fighters defending their top position. Old top but currently losing guys being overrated cuz no new young guys are getting fights to raise their stocks.
From here?

If Wonderboy beats Burns, he gets the shot against Usman.

As for Leon? Well, he accepted Diaz. His streak should pull a MUCH bigger name, but he couldn't get one, and settled on Nate. So when he beats Nate, it'll mean shit, and him vs Colby should earn next shot.

Burns vs Chiesa
Masvidal vs Lawler
Magny vs Luque
Belal is fighting Maia
Leech vs Brady
Neal vs Khamzat

If Wonderboy loses to Burns, then Leon has to get the shot after he beats Diaz.

Hard to book a number 1 shot after that. It still feels too soon of a turnaround for Colby and Burns, but after Colby beats Woodley and Burns beats Wonderboy, then a win over each other should keep one arguably is punching distance. So Burns vs Colby

Wonderboy vs Chiesa
Magny vs Luque
Belal is fighting Maia
Leech vs Brady
Neal vs Khamzat
 
Usman Vs Wonderboy

Colby and Edwards don’t deserve shit. Neither have an impressive win in recent memory.
 
Wonderboy vs Colby
Burns vs Colby

Same night.
 
Khamzat fighting everyone on the same night and getting his belt
 
Nate Diaz possibly getting a titleshot... never hire this guy as match maker
 
Book which guys, you never said?
Usman vs Covington
Burns vs Luque
Edwards vs Masvidal
Wonderboy vs Chiesa
