Seems like everyone wanted to see O'Malley v Sandhagen but O'Malley is talking about sitting out a year. Figgy turned down a fight with him. Cejudo is talking about going back to flyweight. He already beat Vera. Song is coming off a loss and should fight someone lower ranked.

The only one left who makes sense is a Yan fight but it seems like Figgy might be angling for that fight as well. If Sandhagen wants to stay active he might have to take another fight outside the top 10, like Mario Bautista.

Good question -- tough to say. If Kyler Phillips gets past Rob Font, that may be a good match up.
 
Not Omalley or Figgy imo. I suppose a rematch against Yan or Yadong would be cool.
 
I mean a contender eliminator. I should be more specific.
He was already next in line for a title fight, lost to the guy who is fighting for a title next. I don't see how O'Malley is worthy of a better fight, considering he got dominated. O'Malley would get his shit pushed in by Umar.

Omalley is an ex champ that just lost. Corey was never a champ and he lost his title eliminator fight. They are not on the same playing field.
 
I don’t think Corey deserves a title contender fight atp, that’s my main qualm.
Why doesn't he though? He was number 2 ranked and fought number 15. The only guy who would, supposedly.

If he said no to Umar he'd just be next in line for title fight
 
My guess is his next fight is for the title. Dana desperate to make him a star

He lost his title contender fight, he should rebound a win to earn another one imo but I don't dislike him fighting Suga eitherway too much. I just think Figgy is more deserving of a title contender fight after curb-stomping Chito.
