[Egészségére!]

So what top-10 men's ex-champ(s) will most-likely get a belt again?

Moreno
O'Malley
Yan
Aldo
Figueiredo
Sterling
Cejudo
Volk
Max
Oliveira
Leon
Usman
Strickland
Israel
Whittaker
Hill
Jan
Jiri
Gane

I'm thinking O'Malley or Strickland

*EDIT: added Jiri & Aldo

Weidman ready for a shot at the belt after a win over Anders

 

[Koala]

Max is lined up for a title shot next month
O'Malley is younger than most 135ers (29 yo vs 33 for Merab, 36 for Figgy, 32 for Sandhagen, 31 for Yan, 37 for Cenuho)

[Spam On Rye]

Max obviously is up next so here's hoping and Strickland will win or lose by split decision if he gets another shot.

 

[Egészségére!]

Haven't given up on Volk yet either

If he keeps active & stays top 5-7 I could see him touching gold again

 

[Hdfi]

Moreno and Strickland have pretty good chances.

 

[SuperAlly]

O’Malley quite unlikely unless they keep him avoiding anyone with decent enough wrestling

Umar, Merab, Cory have him on toast

 

[RockyLockridge]

O'malley and strickland can only win titles with matchup protection.

the only person on this list i think can hold a title again is Cyril Gane. No one else.

Although he's not on the List i don't think it's impossible for jiri to hold gold again either, especially if he drops to MW

 

[fedorthegoat777]

Any of those guys really have to just put two wins together and they are in.

So what top-10 men's ex-champ(s) will most-likely get a belt again?

Moreno - 2 fight losing skid, division is catching up
O'Malley - will always have an issue with grapplers, just too lanky
Yan - possible, but merab will always own him
Figueiredo - too old so ufc wont push him. umar and merab are bad matchups.
Sterling - always injured. boring style. wont be pushed
Cejudo - no
Volk - too old
Max - possible
Oliveira - not as long as islam is around
Leon - inconsistent
Usman - old
Strickland - possible
Israel- got destroyed by 2 guys in the division
Whittaker - izzy and ddp will always be tough matchups
Hill - lol no
Jan - too old
Gane - possible, but aspinall can easily out grapple him. lacks motivation.

 

[sdpdude9]

Best chance
Holloway
Strickland
O’Malley

With the right circumstances
Moreno
Whittaker
Oliveira
Gane

Unlikely
Yan
Figueiredo
Hill
Volkanovski
Blachowicz

Doubtful
Adesanya
Usman
Edwards
Sterling
Cejudo

 

[Necrocrawler]

My 3 shots are:

Max: Dude has a legendary chin... I can see him breaking Topuria (wouldn't bet on it though)
Israel: Yeah, he lost to DDP... But he was winning that one fight. I can see him beating DDP or Strickland in their respective rematches (again, i wouldn't bet on it)
Gane: For me, he's the best shot from the list. Him vs Aspinall will be fireworks and i can definitely see him winning.

 

[Kwic]

Weidman ready for a shot at the belt after a win over Anders

The champ (whoever it is at the time) is good match up for him.

 

[laleggenda27]

Max is the obvious choice for me, since I think he beats Topuria next month (and possibly makes it look easy).

 

[Fight Professor]

I like Strickland's chances against DDP the most. Moreno, Max and Gane cannot be written out.

 

[CashMoney1991]

Strickland would be the most likely since his fight with DDP was a 50/50

 

[boingyman]

He's next!

 

[don't ask]

Arlovski. Stipe will pull out of the Jones fight, Jones will refuse to fight Aspinall, Jones will call out Arlovski, a year later the two will fight and Jones will OD in the ring.

 

[Istryker]

I think Gane and Leon can imo
