[bng]

Porier - Kopylov
Costa - Holloway
D-rod - Topuria

 

[Jawth]

Why would they not do Allen vs. Costa? Seems like a no brainer.

Around the same rank, both got a much needed win, would be a fun fight, winner is back in the mix.

 

[MrCoffee]

Holloway Poirier 4.


Would watch. Why not. Way worse fights out there.

 

[Marko Atanasovik]

Holloway vs Hooker/Fiziev.

 

[ledonk]

Give me Max vs Paddy.

 

[gosuasus]

I want to see Michael Johnson vs. Charles Oliveira finally. Book it. They managed to avoid each other for 15 years. It's time.

 

[Aurelian]

Max vs Arman #1 contender

Ilia vs Paddy if he beats Gaethje

 

[Nihongi]

You’re an absolute sadist for suggesting Gautier vs Dumas

 

[TITS]

Poirier vs MJ 2

 

[FEDORFAN44]

Max vs Oliveira
Costa vs Allen
D-rod vs rowe
Johnson vs dober or Bobby green
Pitbul vs Murphy
Oliveira vs song
gautier vs finney
crute vs Jacoby
spann vs Teixeira
dulatov vs Patterson
Ferreira vs pyfer

 

[Rampage_Jackson]

Give me Max vs Paddy.

This was my thought as well

Or if he wants to defend the BMF maybe Hooker would be a banger

Charles?? ehhhhhhhhhhhh. no tanks

 

[LincolnHawk1]

Max vs Charles is going to happen. If max beats Charles he is staring at a ts.

 

[spinitch]

Max should wait n see how Topuria next opponent unfolds. Try to setup a fight off with another contender to clear the line. Dustin a good win but there is a Q at LW.

 

[Shadey1]

Nicolle Caliari vs. Brogan Walker - Loser leaves UFC.
Carli Judice vs. Ernesta Kareckaite - Both women coming off needed wins over Caliari. Let's see who can make it two in a row.
Jackson McVey vs. Djorden Ribeiro dos Santos - Rebound fight for both off debut losses.
Brunno Ferreira vs. Jun Yong Park - Both men are on two fight win streaks. Let's see who can make it three.
Lukasz Brzeski - CUT - 3 fight losing streak.
Ryan Spann vs. Thomas Petersen - Good win for Spann. I think this is a solid next step.
Marcin Prachnio vs. Ion Cuțelaba - Rebound fight for both men off some tough losses.
Jimmy Crute vs. Dustin Jacoby - I'm a fan of this call out. Definitely a fun fight.

Vinicius Oliveira vs. Aiemann Zahabi - Think this is a great next step for Vinicius.

Costa would do bad things to Abus. Costa vs Allen.

 

[Khonor McGomedov]

I'd love to see Holloway vs Chandler, though I know Chandler's washed.

 

[Koala]

Max Holloway vs Charles Oliveira for the BMF belt
Dustin Poirier stays retired. Great career
Paulo Costa vs Brandon Allen - Both had a win after some losses, but don't look like top-5 worthy
Roman Kopylov vs Bruno Ferreira - Ferreira could fight someone ranked or close to the rankings
Marvin Vettori goes to the PFL, takes the belt, the tournament, etc. He is going nowhere in the UFC
Daniel Rodriguez vs Ismael Bonfim - Both might be ranked without being impressive
Kevin Holland vs Randy Brown - Two strikers, fighting at different paces
Patricio Pitbull vs Josh Emmett
Dan Ige vs Giga Chikadze
Michael Johnson vs the winner of Edson Barboza vs Drakkar Klose
Daniel Zellhuber vs Chris Padilla - Zellhuber is 0-2 in big PPV main cards. He now has to give an opportunity to lesser-known fighters, while Padilla is one of the lesser-known good LWs
Vinicius Oliveira vs Chito Vera - Big name but still beatable for Vinicius. He needs to be careful, as his last loss was to a guy with a close style (low volume, big power)
Kyler Phillips vs Farid Basharat - He has to gatekeep the top 15, and Basharat is 4-0
Nikolay Veretennikov vs Punahele Soriano - let's see where he stands against a vet
Francisco Prado vs Adam Fugitt - I have the impression that Prado is fighting above his level. An alternative would be to go back 2 years in the regionals and stack some wins
Islam Dulatov vs Oban Elliott - Let's see what Dulatov can do to an elite striker, and let Elliott some time to work on his grappling
Ateba Gautier vs Edmen Shahbazyan - Keep MW Ngannou far from wrestlers
Robert Valentin - Cut. No idea what he was doing in the UFC
Jackson McVey vs Cody Brundage - A lesser-level test for McVey and a fight that appears winnable for Brundage
Jimmy Crute vs Jacoby in the next Australian card - He wants it, why not?
Marcin Prachnio vs Navajo Sterling
Ryan Spann vs Vitor Petrino
Lukasz Brzeski - Cut
Carli Judice vs Veronica Hardy - Give her someone known with a higher level than Duben and Caliari
Nicolle Caliari vs Stoliarenko - Loser gets cut

 

[Soggust]

Max vs Charles II seems like it's destined but I think I like the Hooker/Max fight a bit better

 

[Armyhawk]

Why should oliveira get a shot at the coveted bmf belt coming off a title loss
