Rakic, Jiri and Ankalaev.

Thats the main 4 guys of this new generation at least in the UFC.

Krylov, Volkan would have a chance if they got a title shot but I don't think that's going to happen.
 
Glover needs to retire

He takes so much damage every single fight
 
So he decided to retire after this. Better now than later at least.
 
All those fights aren’t for the same card I hope!

glover has a 204 pound heart. He should enjoy retirement
 
hill vs jiri is all we need. two bombers with iron chins and very little defense. FOTY is almost guaranteed. as long as jiri’s shoulder isn’t as destroyed as they first thought of course.
 
Wonder if Jiri will be available at all this year.

If not, I’m not too sure they’re gonna give Blachowicz/Ankalaev a title shot. I’d imagine they do a rematch with those two and do Lionheart/Walker for contendership.
 
Saimon Oliveira - Cut - He's dropped both his fights in the UFC.
Daniel Marcos vs. Cameron Saaiman - Both unbeaten and coming off successful debuts. Good chance to build momentum.
Zarah Fairn - Cut - Winless in three appearances.
Josiane Nunes vs. Norma Dumont/Karol Rosa winner - UFC has to decide what they are doing with this division. Give Nunes the winner of two women who have spent time at 145.
Warlley Alves vs. Danny Roberts - Each man has dropped 2 straight. Potential loser leaves town.
Nicolas Dalby vs. Max Griffin - Two talented veterans on wins. I like this.
Terrance McKinney vs. Ottman Azaitar - Both coming off finishes losses. Proven finishers. Could be fun
Ismael Bonfim vs. Rafa Garcia - Impressive debut. I like this as Ismael's next bout.
Luan Lacerda vs. Mateus Mendonçą - Potential loser leaves UFC.
Cody Stamann vs. Montel Jackson - Winner gets an opponent in the top 15.
Shamil Abdurakhimov - Cut - He's dropped four in a row. I don't see another fight.
Jailton Almeida vs. Ivanov/Tybura winner - With a win here, Almeida enters the top ten.
Mounir Lazzez vs. Bryan Battle - Both men coming off losses. Good rebound fight.
Gabriel Bonfim vs. Ange Loosa - Great debut for Gabriel. This makes for a solid next step.
Melquizael Costa vs. Nick Fiore - potential loser leaves UFC.
Thiago Moises vs. Matt Frevola - Both proven finishers riding 2 fight win streaks.
Gregory Rodrigues vs. Punahele Soriano - each coming off knockout losses.
Brunno Ferreira vs. Joseph Pyfer - Both men have knockout wins
Shogun Rua - Enjoy Retirement - What a legend, sad to see him fall.
Ihor Potiera vs. Prachnio/Knight winner - Solid win for Ihor. Winner of Prachnio/Knight should be next.
Paul Craig vs. Dominick Reyes - Winner of this stays in top 15.
Johnny Walker vs. Khalil Rountree II - Think this rematch is in order. Winner gets in the top ten.
Lauren Murphy vs. Katlyn Chookagian II - Both coming off losses. Winner stays in top 5.
Jessica Andrade vs. Manon Fiorot - Title eliminator bout.
Neil Magny vs. Vincente Luque - Each coming off stoppage losses. I like this as a rebound.
Gilbert Burns vs. Belal Muhammad - Potential title eliminator bout.
Deiveson Figueiredo vs. Dominick Cruz - If Figueiredo is moving to 135, I think a ranked opponent is in order and I like this as his debut at the weight.
Brandon Moreno vs. Alexandre Pantoja III - Pantoja is the rightful contender. Fight makes sense.
Glover Teixeira - Enjoy retirement - Mad respect to him for what he accomplished.
Jamahal Hill vs. Jiri Prochazka or Magomed Ankalaev/Jan Blachowicz - I personally feel Jan/Magomed probably should fight one more time. Depending on his health, I wouldn't mind Jiri stepping in for a title fight. Otherwise Jamahal takes on Magomed or Jan.

I don’t see Fig hanging with either of them. However, when people move up you either see how much that weight cut limited their strongest attributes or that there was a reason they needed to cut that weight.
