You want us to rank 15 hypothetical matchups by hypothetical hype if they were to be announced hypothetically? ..... Maybe narrow it down to 3 to 5 matches that are actually scheduled, and maybe you'll get some genuine engagement.

I'm not retyping all of that to rank them. Try again.

Martial arts is supposed to be about "respect." But, sadly, that's not the vibe around here and we get a bad name because of it. Aside from Palhares, BJJ guys are literally some of the nicest dudes ever, as it requires tremendous patience. But people here are mean.

But, as a forum community, we're still one of the baddest on the 'net, just 'cause a lot of us do train. lol. You ask, I'll answer. There's no shame in answering the question at hand. It actually looks a lot better than anyone's post that refuses to do it. I'm just copying, pasting and rearranging for what I'd like to see most to least. (And possibly adding a comment) Idgaf how (un)popular my opinion is. Why not? Gives us somethin' to do.

- Jones vs Ngannou... I already know Jones dominates the mixed martial artist. While Ngannou can outwrestle some strikers, he's nowhere near the level of grappler Jones is.
- Jiri vs Pereira
- Izzy vs Khamzat
- Johnny Eblen (Bellator) vs Bo Nickal... Not sure Bo's ready, but I'm very curious as to where his ceiling is.
- Gane vs Aspinall... Aspinall looks and carries himself like a champion. That wouldn't surprise me at all.
- Strickland vs DDP... Big Strickland fan, but people sleep way too much on DDP.
- Leon vs Islam
- O'Malley vs Umar
- Usman Nurmagomedov (Bellator) vs Oliveira
- McGregor vs Volkanovski... Now that it's "cool" to hate Conor, I'm not gonna follow that crowd.
- Vadim Nemkov (Bellator) vs Walker... Johnny Walker? Walker would get whooped, but I do love UFC VS Bellator.
- Hill vs Ankalaev
- Usman vs Shavkat... After seein' a legend fall, while possible, it's hard to trust them to take out great competition.
- Belal vs Colby... I like to root against people and this is a fight where they're both cringe af imho. It's probably my least favorite fight for these fighters for that reason. haha.

- Fury vs Usyk (Undisputed Heavyweight Boxing)
- Bivol vs Beterbiev (Undisputed Light Heavyweight Boxing - 175 lbs)
