[GibsterMMA]

Went with Edwards for Buckley because it’s rumored JDM is fighting Usman and then Shavkat is fighting Belal so no other options, also I’d rebook Ian Garry vs Sean Brady

 

[omawho402]

Buckley should have called out Garry, both having just had fights would be ready around the same time frame. Plus a striker's delight, and a chance for Buckley to continue to show his progression in takedown defense and grappling.

Buckley is ranked higher than Garry now and just beat the piss out of Colby. I'm pretty sure he's going to be fighting up not down.

Edwards is just a higher ranked Garry, way more reward from beating him.

Sean Brady vs Edwards is better

 

[NextGen]

Next move for Colby should be retirement. He is absolutely finished.

 

[forsh]

Colby vs Wonderboy (if not retirement) Both lost to Buckley and I don't think Colby will have a wrestling advantage over WB after watching his last two fights.

 

[Tapatio]

Colby vs. KSI

Sean Brady vs Edwards is better

That has huge potential to be so boring.

 

[surgeyou1]

Buckley vs Usman and Garry vs Edwards makes the most sense to me.

 

[omawho402]

Edwards is just a higher ranked Garry, way more reward from beating him.

You're right

My bad, just post fight knee jerk reaction. But you're right

 

[Pompey Junglist]

Covington Vs Plastic Surgeon

 

[tritestill]

Colby should just retire

 

[Shadey1]

Josefine Knutsson vs. Talita Alencar - Both took their first UFC losses. This makes sense to me.
Piera Rodriguez vs. Stephanie Luciano - Each woman is coming off a decision win. I think it's a solid next step.
Ramon Taveras vs. Cortavious Romious - Rebound for both men coming off losses.
Davey Grant vs. Da'Mon Blackshear - Two Bantamweight veterans coming off needed wins.
Jamey-Lyn Horth vs. Dione Barbosa - Both women coming off losses to Maverick.
Miranda Maverick vs. Tecia Pennington - 4 fight win streak gets Miranda a ranked opponent. I think Tecia is a good option.
Miles Johns vs. Lee Jeong-yeong - Rebound for both men having had win streaks snapped.
Felipe Lima vs. Jack Jenkins - Lima is on the rise. I think this is a good fight between prospects.
Fernando Padilla vs. Gabriel Miranda - Rebound for both off stoppage losses.
Sean Woodson vs. Dan Ige - Woodson deserves a spot in the rankings for 145. I think Ige is perfect.
Drakkar Klose vs. Jared Gordon - Tough losses for both men. I like this fight next.
Joel Alvarez vs. Jalin Turner - Joel should get a ranked opponent. I think Turner makes sense.
Ottman Azaitar - Cut - 3 fight losing streak.
Michael Johnson vs. Jim Miller - Surprised this hasn't happened sooner.
Tuco Tokkos vs. Vitor Petrino - Both men are on two fight losing streaks. This could honestly be loser leaves UFC. Either way a much needed win is needed for both.
Navajo Stirling vs. Brendson Ribeiro - Both men are coming off UFC wins. Makes sense to me.
Adrian Yañez vs. Cody Durden - Close loss for Yanez. I think Durden is a good rebound.
Daniel Marcos vs. Marcus McGhee - I think Marcos warrants a ranked opponent. McGhee recently joined rankings so this makes sense to me
Dustin Jacoby vs. Ryan Spann - Both picked up needed wins. This is a good next step.
Bruno Silva vs. Joshua Van - Bruno is coming off a loss. A fight with Van who just entered the rankings makes sense.
Manel Kape vs. Kai-Kara France - Honestly this fight needs to happen. Let's book it again
Billy Quarantillo vs. Jonathan Pearce - Both direly need a win. Could be loser leaves UFC.
Cub Swanson - Retire - If he doesn't retire Erosa is a good fight for him. Otherwise if this is the one for Cub. Then credit to him for going out on a win.
Colby Covington vs. Ian Machado Garry - Both are coming off losses. I do think this is the fight to make though.
Joaquin Bucklley vs. Kamaru Usman or Leon Edwards - I am honestly fight with Buckley fighting either of these two.

 

[Ares Black]

Buckley is ranked higher than Garry now and just beat the piss out of Colby. I'm pretty sure he's going to be fighting up not down.

Garry is ranked #7 and Buckley is ranked #9

[HatKick]

Leon picks Buckley apart imo. Without the take down threat he can better use his kicks and footwork.

Buckley might be too big of a mouthful for Usman at this point. We just saw Colby's shell. Would be interesting to see how Usman fares against the same opponent in comparison.
