No top 15 FW is booked right now

[Sweater of AV]

Only one I don't like is Ortega-Holloway. They've each only fought one guy since fighting each other, have they not?

But I don't think there's a clear-cut contender at FW. Holloway dropped two straight to the champ, Ortega is on a whopping 1 fight win streak. Zabit has yet to really prove himself imo. Cejudo has really risen to the occasion lately, let's see if he can do it again.

Yeah it's tough to see who Max should fight after the Volk fights. If Cejudo were to get the Volk fight and Yair-Zabit is made then it's basically Ortega. They were also talking about Ortega getting the next title shot off of one win but if he were to beat Max then there's no doubt he deserves it.

Emmett/KZ would be nuts

 

[fortheo]

Yair doesn't deserve Zabit after continuously ducking. He should only get a lower ranked opponent next

I wouldn't mind Zabit vs. Max
and Yair vs. Kattar

 

[Domitian]

Emmett vs Zabit
TKZ vs Max
Yair vs Kattar
Burgos vs Stephens
Ortega vs Volk

 

[CC27]

Volk is gonna fight Ortega

They are gonna make Zabit/yair, if it actually happens.

Do Max/Kattar

Give Zombie someone, maybe Ige, maybe Allen, maybe even Barboza though I dont think UFC is gonna give Barboza a top guy since he's basically telling them he's leaving after this next fight. Allen/Stephens was booked for tonight I think but that of course fell off cause every card loses fights these days.

Emmett I wouldn't expect back until late Spring/early Summer, tore his ACL and MCL in the Burgos fight in late June.

Volk vs Ortega
Zabit vs Yair
Holloway vs Kattar
TKZ vs Barboza-Emmett fights the winner
Mitchell vs Ige
Stephens vs Allen
Burgos vs Dawodu
Yusuff vs Hall

 

[Fight Professor]

The division got stuck in the mud after Conor left, despite having 2 solid champs afterwards.

 

[Joseph_McBride]

Cejudo-Volk
Max-Ortega 2
Zabit-Yair

Why in the hell do people continue to wanna book Zabit/Yair? It's clear Yair doesnt want that smoke.

Volk vs Ortega
Max vs Zabit
Yair vs Kattar

@Sweater of AV this seems like a good solution. Maybe even Yair vs Ortega?

 

[Yankee]

Ortega is 1-1 in his last 2 and has fought once in the last near 2 years. He needs one more fight, Zabit's been active.

Active? LMAO

Last 5 fights are practically identical. You can argue 2019 Zabit had 2 but even then he's had ZERO in 2020... Last 5 opponents for each are miles apart. Zabit needs a name on his record and he needs it now. I don't even like Ortega like that but I'm not blinded by this Zabit is next hype.

Zabit:
November 9, 2019
March 2, 2019
September 8, 2018
April 7, 2018
November 25, 2017

Ortega:
October 18, 2020
December 8, 2018
March 3, 2018
December 9, 2017
July 29, 2017

Tournament time. First Round NYE, second round Jan30. Make them all fight. Winner gets a three month break then fights Volk
Edit: first round Dec1, second round NYE.

 

[Sad Dad]

Max zabit winner gets the winner of Ortega volk

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

Close the division and send all of them up to LW

 

[Sweater of AV]

@Sweater of AV this seems like a good solution. Maybe even Yair vs Ortega?

Yeah that works but I have a feeling Ortega either wants the belt or Max next.

 

[LetThemBleed]

Won 5 in a row including Kattar?

Kattar and Stephens and the other 3 no names aren't enough to deserve a title shot.
