No order, just lowest weight class to highest in the Men's division.. fighter with best chance to beat the current Champ, but not a certainty, just the best chance in the division.

Pantoja (Van, Horiguchi)
Merab (Yan, Umar)
Volk (Sterling, Moesevar.. spelling?)
Topuria (Arman, Paddy)
Islam (Soriano)
Khamzat (Hernandez)
Alex (Ankalaev, Olberg)
Aspinal (Gane, Alex)

3. Aspinall (Gane)
4. Shevchenko (Silva)
5. Pereira (Ulberg)
6. Pantoja (Van)

8. Topuria (Pimblett/Gaethje)
9. Dvalishvili (Yan)
10. Chimaev (Imavov)
11. Makhachev (Usman)

I feel like there's a clear line here where the jump goes from "quite possible" to "unlikely at best"

And also, imagine how much this would be changed up if we saw the names like Evloev, Arman, and Shavkat? Shame we're not allowed to have competitive matchups for the most competitive divisions in the UFC.

I would maybe swap harrison with shevchenko, but other than that i'd agree with this list
