There's plenty of good challenge left for Mighty Mouse at 125lbs

[Sonny Qc]

I think the UFC gonna make Johsnon Vs Benavidez 3 next.

Joseph Benavidez 24-4
Only loss twice in his last 10
(Vs Johnson both time, split,Ko 1st)
Joseph is on a 5 fight winning streak, hard to deny him a title shot now.

But after that there a few good option for DJ
+ fresh match-up for him.

Wilson Reis 20-6
Won 3 of last 4.
9 win by sub.
Good Vet, would be ready for a title shot

---------------------------------------------------

In the future, 2 very good prospect :

Justin Scoggins 11-2
2 fight win streak, only 23.

Sergio Pettis 14-2
also on 2 fight win streak, 22yrs old
Good name value.
They should slowly build that fight for 2017.


Can't wait to see Mighty Mouse fight again.

 

[GordaoPreguico]

They are fights for him but in no way are they challenges.

 

[IATAvalanche]

all of these fights are gimmie wins for DJ.

 

[raconnor]

when the first guy on your list is someone that he has beaten twice, you know it's gonna be a shitty list

 

[HHJ]

MM vs Dillasnake baby
Dodson would shit himself if thre Xbox kid got live at 135

 

[ortizgnp]

They are paychecks.

 

[Aranha21]

The pickings are very slim. Nobody wants to see Joe vs MM again. Wilson Reis is a savvy vet but a guy like him wouldn't get near a title shot in any other UFC division. Sergio Pettis is pretty average IMO and won't ever fight for a title. I'd like to see both Scoggins and Nguyen fighting higher up guys now, but there is still a way to go until they should fight Johnson.
The best option is if Raphael Assuncao is serious about moving to 125. 7 fight win streak in the UFC.

 

[Luminaire]

I'm fine with him moving up in weight and reminding everyone that he can't really compete at 135lbs.

 

[Hans Gercmiov]

MM is like alligator in a fish pond.

 

[FleximusPrime]

He needs to go up to 135, its as simple as that.

 

[Tormund]

Give him Wilson Reis and make JoeB fight Horiguchi. These trilogies where somebody has already won twice are pointless.

 

[warriorfan808]

Sergio Pettis could be an option if he wins the next 2 fights. They should have a tournament to determine who he fights next.

 

[Chules]

125lbs ?

damn that's small lmao

 

[The guest]

Whatever. No matter who he fights or at whatever weight. I'll be watching, and cheering for a great fighter.

 

[IATAvalanche]

maybe they should have 2 guys at a time try to fight him

Yes Raph would be a serious challenge.

Ben Nguyen also 2-0 in the UFC but he got a tough fight Vs Louis Smolka in July.
The winner of that fight instantly become a top contender

Chris Miah from the UK. He has wrestling, submissions and good clinch game and power in both hands. Unbeaten and I'm sure he'd walk through a handful of those guy's no problem.

 

[Meduza]

MM should take a note from McGregor.

No one wants to see you fight outmatched opponents anymore.

You want to cash some heavyweight checks?? Move up and challenge some bantamweight guys. Win or lose, it will get more attention than any title defense you could possibly imagine in his current weight class

 

[Sirwastealot]

By that logic jones has about 20 challengers lined up too.

Whatever happened to wanting competitive championship fights?

I didn't know about Assuncao's idea

That is actually a good option

Make JoeB vs Reis for the next TS

Scoggings/Nguyen and Formiga/Horiguchi for the next in line

Give McCall some squash matches to put him in the contention too after 2 or 3 wins, same with Makovsky
