[dragovic]

Makhachev vs Edwards @ 170
Chimaev vs Costa @185

 

[TheBrownRanger]

Good call on Makhachev vs Gaethje. Oliveira lucked out lmao.
Usman vs Whittaker would be great but I doubt Usman is sticking around at 185. Usman vs Rakhmonov/Wonderboy loser next or Burns rematch.

 

[TheBrownRanger]

Makhachev vs Edwards @ 170
Chimaev vs Costa @185

Far too many contenders in both divisions to hold them up further. No thank you.

If Islam beats Gaethje and Leon beats Colby and maybe one other fighter then it’d be the perfect time for champ vs champ

 

[jeff7b9]

NO rematches
No double champ dìvisional logjams

 

[Thepaintbucket]

Looks like UFC is pushing for Justin vs Islam

 

[Dana's Moonface]

As much as I think Islam beats Edwards or colby, I would prefer him to have 2 more defences to break the lw record, then move up in 2025

 

[HNIC215]

I lowkey wanna see Islam vs Colby because I think that would be a hilarious and exciting fight.

 

[removeinfo001]

Give Makachev his 2nd belt shot

[Shadey1]

Bruno Silva vs. Abu Azaitar - Loser leaves UFC.
Sharabutdin Magomedov vs. Sedriques Dumas - Fight makes sense with both winning decisions.
Jinh Yu Frey - Cut - I don't see another fight for Frey.
Viktoria Dudakova vs. Emily Ducote - Decent win for Dudakova. I think Ducote is a good next step.
Nathaniel Wood vs. Ricardo Ramos - Not a fan of how this fight went. Good turn around for Wood.
Muhammad Naimov vs. William Gomis - Both unbeaten in UFC. Winner gets a name opponent.
Anshul Jubli vs. Brendon Marotte - Good rebound fight for Jubli.
Mike Breeden vs. Terrance McKinney - Both coming off wild finishes. This promises chaos.
Javid Basharat vs. Victor Henry II - Rebook this fight
Mohammad Yahya vs. Landon Quiñones - Loser leaves UFC.
Trevor Peek vs. Chris Duncan - This has the makings of a fun fight.
Tim Elliott vs. Alex Perez - Loser of this one falls out the top ten.
Muhammad Mokaev vs. Matheus Nicolau - Mokaev moves up in the rankings. Good next step.
Muin Gafarov vs. Terrence Mitchell - Loser leaves UFC.
Said Nurmagomedov vs. Taylor Lapilus - Two talented standouts. Winner gets a ranked fight.
Warlley Alves vs. Rhys McKee - assuming he moves down to WW. Loser leaves UFC.
Ikram Aliskerov vs. Nassourdine Imavov - Rebook the original fight.
Magomed Ankalaev vs. Johnny Walker II - Rebook this fight
Kamaru Usman vs. Thompson/Rakhmonov loser - Credit to Usman for stepping up. Think this makes sense for his next step.
Khamzat Chimaev vs. Marvin Vettori - Personally don't think he earned his shot with this win. A win over Vettori however would be a different story.
Alexander Volkanovski vs. Ilia Topuria - Tough night for Volk. Credit to him for stepping up. Think the Topuria fight is next.
Islam Makhachev vs. Charles Oliveira or Justin Gaethje - A fight with either Charles or Justin makes sense for Islam.

 

[Kuggoz]

Far too many contenders in both divisions to hold them up further. No thank you.

Who is there at 155? Just people who he already beat, who are nearing retirement and only getting worse

Bring your best cup for this fight

 

[C0NCH3TO]

Islam vs Joostin is the fight to make.
Chimaev will fight in 12+ months again due to “personal issues”, we could have Sean vs Driccus asap and the winner fights Chimagoat.

McKinney vs Breeden just happened in August

But otherwise, good fights!

 

[Oscar Madison]

DDP v Khamzat

DDP as a true MW Top Title Contender
Khamzat fighting a MW Top Contender

Less pageantry, less glory, less money -- but a proper sporting ascension of Khamzat into a Title Shot as well as redemption for DDP in the eyes of UFC.

 

[Sincere Guy]

Dana said Charles Oliveira, deal with it. Hope Islam don't pull a leg injury as he tried to imply in the post-fight interviews lol. Probably again trying to fight in Abu Dhabi only and make Charles do all the hard work in his place, how cute. What a champ he is, 1 top 5 and 1 FW 2 times and only defends in Abu Dhabi lol. Of course he wants there, the place of "happiness" is irreplaceable, the opponents don't stand a chance against so many "benefits".

 

[TheBrownRanger]

Who is there at 155? Just people who he already beat, who are nearing retirement and only getting worse

Gaethje and Gamrot are in neither category. Chandler/McGregor winner will also be in the mix (I know they’re not in “prime” state, but who honestly cares?).

I really have no interest in Islam/Oliveira 2, if that’s what you’re getting at.
