Kevin lee vs Al Iaquinta before he gets booked against Khabib

 

[Buckeye4Life]

No way lee vs Khabib YET. Lee vs Alvarez or Poirier. Khabib vs Conor. Feed Alvarez or poirier to ferg

 

[letmebangbrah]

Give Barboza at least 6 months to recover from these last two fights. Guy's got too much heart for his own good.

 

[podsox]

Lee is on a 1 fight winning streak in the deepest division in the UFC and he miss weight. Hell no

 

[MMA4Life]

Edson vs Pettis

 

[Jon's Drug Dealer]

Imagine if Barboza v. Gaethje is booked and Gaethje decides he's going to start using his wrestling for more than TDD.

 

[nick jacoby]

Khabibvs Eddie Alvarez
Porier vs Lee

This is IF conor doesnt get the Khabib fight

 

[Dbreiden83080]

Lee and Khabib lets get it on..

I said going into this fight that Kevin needed a dominant performance to get the fight. He did that to me. It’s a great matchup and marketable. Let’s do it.

 

[nick jacoby]

Edson vs Pettis

We just saw that one a year or so a go...

Give us Edson vs James Vick
or LANDO VANNATA

 

[RaskeDanzig]

Of all of those the only match up I really like is Branch vs Carlos Jr.

I'd do Lee vs Poirier. OSP just KO'd Corey a few months ago. Frankie doesn't need to fight Elkins. Siyar should get a bigger name.

 

[MMA4Life]

We just saw that one a year or so a go...

Give us Edson vs James Vick
or LANDO VANNATA

True your right that woud be kind of dumb, I was just looking at the rankings. Edson vs James Vick then.

 

[Gambit MMA]

Wanna see branch vs a top 10 MW, is Weidman coming back soon? Or he can fight the jacare kelvin loser

[Beylerbey]

Kevin Lee is an idiot for missing weight, because I truly believe that he is by far the best and most interesting matchup for Khabib (assuming that Conor won't fight him). Certainly much better than Dustin.

However, it will be hard to justify giving a title shot to a fighter on a 1-match win streak at catchweight. For a guy like Conor, Dana will go through great lengths to justify a silly title bout, but he won't do that for Lee.

So with that in mind, make Lee vs Dustin, Lee will finish him, and then make Khabib vs Lee (presuming Conor doesn't come back in the mean time). After Khabib vs Ferguson, that's the best fight you could make at LW in my opinion.

 

[shoorik1987]

Imagine if Barboza v. Gaethje is booked and Gaethje decides he's going to start using his wrestling for more than TDD.

Then I would applaud and say that he learned from his past mistakes.

 

[Chart69r]

Lee is on a 1 fight winning streak in the deepest division in the UFC and he miss weight. Hell no

Did you complain about Romero-Whittaker 2 getting made?

 

[podsox]

Did you complain about Romero-Whittaker 2 getting made?

Yes

 

[Mmmmmmma1234]

Love most of the list but I'm hoping Edgar still goes 135 vs Dom would be a great fight night main.
Sterling definitely hasn't earned that fight yet Dodson be a good step up for him.

Bonus match: add Ladd v Correia to something soon.

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

Barboza needs some much needed time off... Train some TDD. Now Lee... the guy should get a top 3 opponent. Another shot at the belt could be coming soon.
