I was wondering who can fill the shoes of stars like Ronda, Lesnar an Conor? Are there any fighters that have the potential of reaching this level of stardom? I canonly think of O'Malley, although I think he will never be this big. More like a Garbrandt, not a Conor. Maybe any big stars from other sports that might come to the UFC. Perhaps a guy like Rico Verhoeven (Kickboxing HW champ).

Wonder who you guys think can be the new Moneymaker of the UFC

Right now there are none.
Maybe - maybe! - Costa, and only if he wins the title.
 
Hopefully Costa and Izzy is a rivalry that sticks around. They both have charisma and are good at talking crap. If they have a competitive fight that leads to a rematch, could be the next great rivalry.
 
I think Jiri can be a star. He doesn't have the gift of gab that Conor has, no one else really does, but his fighting style is electric and I think he can give Jones problems eventually.

To be fair, he has not fought a high level of competition, but hes been dominating everyone that has been put in front of him. He could totally be a bust, but I think he's the real deal. Only 27, I think he will make a run and has star potential with how fun he is to watch.

Sorry my friend, but he'll be a bust.
 
I’m not sure what numbers he draws but I feel like Ngannou should be a bigger star than he is.

He doesn't look like anything special personality-wise.

Personally I think no one is going to be close to Conor-Ronda-Brock in the forseable future. but we are going to have more mid-level draws (Jones, Khabib, Israel, Masvidal, etc) - which is probably a good thing.

He is still Young he is only 22 or 23 years but he will become a megastar after 10-15 years from now

Good one. If they fight soon and the first fight is a great 1, you could be right
