The lightweight division is a bit fucked up at the moment...

Khabib and Ferguson are obviously the two biggest challengers but both had injuries and faced newcomers instead of each other.

I assume Ferguson will win against Vannata tomorrow.

So who's next?
- #1 Khabib
- #3 Ferguson
- #4 Diaz/McGregor
 
Holloway move up to 155 to fight him.

I dont hear him asking to get that loss back from Cerrone. Cowboy does 55 also.
 
Khabib iz the true number 1 contender. He had a hard go at it with injuriez, but that's the fight to make.

Ferguson if Khabib iz out... but either him or Khabib would make sense in any scenario.

Cowboy cued up next.

Nate only fights Conor now so he'z out. :)

khabib, fergson, then prolly cerrone with how things are if he actually fights more unlike most champs that just sit on the belt once they get it.

Maybe conor somewhere in between if he also starts fighting more and wins. But i get the feeling conors gonna lose ot nate then lose to aldo, and get sent back to the bottom of the list where it'll take him like 2 years to make his way back up if he doesn't retire.
 
1) Nurmagomedov
2) Diaz
3) Brooks
4) Ferguson
5) Magomedov
6) Dos Anjos
7) Pettis
8) Cerrone

Most deserving is Cerrone, fights anyone and everyone, but always struggles in the big fights though.
 
I think they'll make Alvarez/Diaz (assuming Diaz beats Conor again) and make Khabib/Ferguson fight for the title shot after that (third times the charm....right ?)
 
Khabib. And in 1 year we will see Rashi magomedov at top 5
 
Nurmagomedov or Ferguson would both be fun fights for Alvarez.
