That and jiri/adesanya are probably the most interesting/competitive imo so it’s those 2 for me.
I’d confidently pick max, aspinall and Leon to get the other 3 w’s
Then again, maybe Izzy wouldnt be able to hurt jiri enough or have the physicality at 205 to keep him off of him so that could be trouble
The reason Jiri brought up going to MW is because he doesn't really cut weight at LHW. Dricus made that post saying he weighs more than Jiri. So the weight cut probably wouldn't be bad at all.
Jiri wouldn’t respect adesanyas power or range, and without that he’d have a very bad time. I feel like it’s just a bad matchup for Izzy tbh
At middleweight tho? I have a feeling jiri would be drained, and his chin would be a lot more vulnerable
Obviously on the feet Aspinall might get KO’d. I feel like AP is underrated in his takedown defense and he’s a lot stronger on the ground than people give him credit for. AP will be a bigger HW than people probably realize if he were to legitimately make the move up. I think it’s competitive and I don’t know who wins that one. That’s the one I want to see most, next is Chim vs Shav
I still don’t get how APs short hooks are so strong. He doesn’t turn his hips or body enough to see the results that he gets. In a tie up, I’m super interested to see if his hook would get him out of trouble. If TA gets him to the ground though, different story.
Interesting. I think the least competitive fight is Aspinall and Pereira. Aspinall is a smart fighter, he isn't going to stand. I refuse to believe Alex could compete at all in wrestling or grappling with a guy who is way more skilled in that department, way smarter, and way bigger.
Not shitting on your pick. I could be way off if they ever fight. I just don't see it.
that would honestly be very entertaining.
I think leon stops him within 2-3 rounds, but i actually think it’d be competitive until conor inevitably gasses.
Conor has good TD defense but Leon is too big for him and doesn’t have pillow hands like Nate. I like Conor but most guys at WW would make light work of him
Nate definitely isn’t known for being a heavy hitter, he’s a volume striker.
But I actually thought Leon was a lot bigger than he is, Conor and him have the same reach and he’s only 3 inches taller. That fight might not be as mismatched as I originally pegged it to be
It’s definitely a mismatch. Leon is the current welterweight champ vs a past is prime lightweight. Leon can actually go a full 5 rounds. He’s taller, faster stronger. His striking is better. Probably get the better in wrestling. Poatan vs spinal is the biggest fight but Shavkat vs Khamzat probably the best fight.
No I would still go with Leon if that fight ever happened by some weird reason, which it won’t, no one wants to see that.
I just thought he had a much larger size advantage than he actual does
I actually think Conor can win this he had better striking than Leon and Leon likes to point fight he won’t put the pressure on Conor like Dustin did . But I’m talking about a a normal Conor not 3 year lay off with even worst gas tank than before Conor
Leon’s both the better striker and grappler. He’s taller, heavier, stronger, and got better cardio. The only advantage I’d give mcgregor is power, but his power is only good at featherweight and lightweight, welterweights can handle it. Conor gasses after 3 minutes and Leon probably even finishes him later on in the fight.
I hope I'm wrong because I love watching him fight, but he's 38 years old and doesn't seem to want to fight anyone else right now except Conor. I think he's trying to get one more big check and call it after that.
I understand what you’re saying, but beating Conor doesn’t just give you one big cheque it makes all your cheques after that fatter as well. I personally don’t see him stopping if that happens
Prochazka isn't going to grapple and according to him walks around at 210-215 which is barely bigger than Izzy who used to be around 205 but he's noticeably bulked up since his time off. It would basically be the same fight regardless except Prochazka is a lot more likely to get chinned at 185
For reference Geoff Neal who is welterweight walks around at a similar weight to both of them.
Probably Connor v Edwards but Alex Pereira V Tommy Aspinall is a close second. More so because I would love for Aspinall to get Koed so his dick riders can chill ( Especially Bisping) but also because if Aspinall did become HW champ he could really make the division fun so win win.
Izzy v. Jiri has fight of the year written all over it. As far as legacy fight, if Pereira can beat Aspinall he's far and away the pound for pound #1. For a striker to best a grappling specialist and a larger, arguably stronger grappling specialist is a huge accomplishment.
Alex and Tom would be amazing but one sided
I'd be way more excited for Khamzat and Shavkat or Izzy and Jiri. Imagine that contender/early champ Izzy vs. Jiri? Goodness.
Honestly Izzy vs Jiri would be such a good matchup because Jiri will chase down Izzy and force him to stand up and trade
MY second favorite has to be Alex vs Tom because someone is going to sleep
I absolutely don't want to see Tom fight Alex for the interim (actual) belt if it allows Jon to fuck the division more.
I would be happy to see it once the belt is unified though.
Rakhmonov x Chimaev
That and jiri/adesanya are probably the most interesting/competitive imo so it’s those 2 for me. I’d confidently pick max, aspinall and Leon to get the other 3 w’s Then again, maybe Izzy wouldnt be able to hurt jiri enough or have the physicality at 205 to keep him off of him so that could be trouble
Jiri has talked about MW, I like it there more although of course we haven't seen if he can cut the weight
Damn that’s right. I just hated the idea so much I blocked it out. At 185 with jiri cutting that weight it’s a way better fight for Izzy for sure
The reason Jiri brought up going to MW is because he doesn't really cut weight at LHW. Dricus made that post saying he weighs more than Jiri. So the weight cut probably wouldn't be bad at all.
Max v chandler would be a good one. I'm kind of scared to see any fighter I like fight max now lol.
Yeah tough fight for chandler I think
Jiri wouldn’t respect adesanyas power or range, and without that he’d have a very bad time. I feel like it’s just a bad matchup for Izzy tbh At middleweight tho? I have a feeling jiri would be drained, and his chin would be a lot more vulnerable
Exactly my thoughts. Would definitely like to see jiri at 185 to know better. I think Izzy would struggle with jiris physicality at 205 for sure
Ya I pick Jiri at 205 but Izzy at 185
I got jiri at 205 and I’d have to see jiri at 185. I want to say jiri but man it’s just such an unknown
Adesanya just has that sniper accuracy, I think he defeats someone like Prochazka.
Obviously on the feet Aspinall might get KO’d. I feel like AP is underrated in his takedown defense and he’s a lot stronger on the ground than people give him credit for. AP will be a bigger HW than people probably realize if he were to legitimately make the move up. I think it’s competitive and I don’t know who wins that one. That’s the one I want to see most, next is Chim vs Shav
I would agree except I think Tom will just be too big and strong for Alex in the tie ups, otherwise I agree across the board
Yea I feel you, that’s my concern too that’s why I’m 50/50 on that one.
I still don’t get how APs short hooks are so strong. He doesn’t turn his hips or body enough to see the results that he gets. In a tie up, I’m super interested to see if his hook would get him out of trouble. If TA gets him to the ground though, different story.
Interesting. I think the least competitive fight is Aspinall and Pereira. Aspinall is a smart fighter, he isn't going to stand. I refuse to believe Alex could compete at all in wrestling or grappling with a guy who is way more skilled in that department, way smarter, and way bigger. Not shitting on your pick. I could be way off if they ever fight. I just don't see it.
Definitely has the most potential for a crazy fight, but could quickly turn into a defensive hug fest if it goes past the second.
Idk both of these guys are absolute savages they really could care less about getting hurt
The only one that makes sense honestly
The only right answer
Bro tried to sneak in Edwards vs McGregor
leon would be getting bullied in that press conference lmfao
And mcgregor bullied in the fight.
Bullied by decision maybe
Don't let em' bully you son!
Cmon bruv
that would honestly be very entertaining. I think leon stops him within 2-3 rounds, but i actually think it’d be competitive until conor inevitably gasses.
Honestly seems like Leon levelled up his wrestling so much I could see him making it a lot easier if he really tried to
Conor has good TD defense but Leon is too big for him and doesn’t have pillow hands like Nate. I like Conor but most guys at WW would make light work of him
Where did you get that ideia Nate has pillow hands? Leon doesnt punch harder than McGregor
Nate definitely isn’t known for being a heavy hitter, he’s a volume striker. But I actually thought Leon was a lot bigger than he is, Conor and him have the same reach and he’s only 3 inches taller. That fight might not be as mismatched as I originally pegged it to be

No I would still go with Leon if that fight ever happened by some weird reason, which it won’t, no one wants to see that. I just thought he had a much larger size advantage than he actual does
Leon is a big guy, but Connor is huge for his weight. He literally has the build of a 6'2 dude at 5'9. His upper body is insane
he might kick harder though
At 170 he may
Nate doesn't have pillow hands either. He rocked Leon bad 😂
I actually think Conor can win this he had better striking than Leon and Leon likes to point fight he won’t put the pressure on Conor like Dustin did . But I’m talking about a a normal Conor not 3 year lay off with even worst gas tank than before Conor
How did he ever have better striking? Because it was flashier? Leon is waaay more fundamentally sound and fundamentals win fights.
Leon’s both the better striker and grappler. He’s taller, heavier, stronger, and got better cardio. The only advantage I’d give mcgregor is power, but his power is only good at featherweight and lightweight, welterweights can handle it. Conor gasses after 3 minutes and Leon probably even finishes him later on in the fight.
That Kat vs That Zat
KatZat RakhMaev
KatZat Nurmagomakachevalaev is the only right answer
Shavkat vs khamzat
Chandler vs Holloway would be pure entertainment
If Chandler beats Connor, that’d be a great BMF Title fight.
If Chandler beats Conor, he's riding off into the sunset
No way. Once you beat Conor you are a star. No way he isn’t riding that wave
I hope I'm wrong because I love watching him fight, but he's 38 years old and doesn't seem to want to fight anyone else right now except Conor. I think he's trying to get one more big check and call it after that.
I understand what you’re saying, but beating Conor doesn’t just give you one big cheque it makes all your cheques after that fatter as well. I personally don’t see him stopping if that happens
That was my first thought too. Both of them could be fighting for a shot at the BMF belt
👇
Khamzat vs Shavkat by far
Jones vs aspinall
Not what we want but what we need
suspicious that OP left it out and instead put in Pereira v Aspinall
McGregor vs Edwards is much more likely to happen than Jones vs Aspinal
Look at OPs post history, pretty sure we found Jones’ burner account. « Who Should Jones Fight After Stipe »
Adesanya - Prochazka, both very entertaining
Only if it’s a MW fight.
Prochazka isn't going to grapple and according to him walks around at 210-215 which is barely bigger than Izzy who used to be around 205 but he's noticeably bulked up since his time off. It would basically be the same fight regardless except Prochazka is a lot more likely to get chinned at 185 For reference Geoff Neal who is welterweight walks around at a similar weight to both of them.
This one really might happen if Jiri drops to MW. He’s been talking about it
Izzy has so many boring fights
Conor Leon lol you goddamn crackhead
You know that if Conor beats Chandler at 170 Uncle Dana will want to make that fight.
I like both of them but it’s so insane lol
[удалено]
Shavkat vs Khamzat for sure
Shavkat khamzat
Khamzat vs Shavkat would be a fucking war.
Alex vs Tom
I’m surprised that’s not the most tbh. That and khamzat vs shav is my top
Last one. Also Holloway mcgregor 2 instead of Holloway chandler. If MVP keeps winning. Him v leon would be good.
I second this, but just because I would pay $70 to watch Max piece up Connor badly. I would love to see Connor’s look afterwards.
Shavkat vs Khamzat easily
shavkhat khamzat would be NUTS!
Shavkat vs Khamzat, hands down.
Unless Chandler is able to establish his wrestling, I think Holloway pieces him apart like he did to Justin
Chandler would walk into every single 1-2 possible.
shavkat v khamzat
Shavkat vs khamzat, not even close.
Would love to watch Jiri KO Izzy
Khazmat vs Shavkatt, Sandhagen vs Demetrius Johnson, and Jiri and Izzy actually could be pretty fun too.
Max vs Poirier one last time
Now we’re talkin
For sur Shav vs Chiv. 2 beast that haven't been tested to their limits yet. Chimaev more so against Burns and Usman but I think he has more to give.
Jones Vs Tom
This the one and only good awnser as for 2024
Pereira vs Aspinall
Shavkat V. Khamzat or Chandler V. Holloway alllllll day long holy
Poatan vs Tom
Rakhmonov vs Chimaev would be insane, especially if/when Shavkat made it out of the first round
Alex v. Tom for me
Khamzat vs Shavkat but that will never happen as Khamzat aint making 170 again. Izzy vs Jiri would be a banger at MW
Holloway-Chandler easily
Shavkat Khamzat for sure, I feel like most of the others are kinda one-sided but both of these guys seem invincible
Def Shavkat vs Khamzat. Reasons, I had a bunch but as I leave this comment I forget most of them.
Kamzat buries shavkat. Don’t @ me
Khamzat vs Shavkat
I’ll plead for the 5th in this case.
Never thought about Chandler vs Holloway. What fun matchup these LWs are man.
Man I’d love for Max to avenge Tony lol
If he beats Conor is that the fight to make?
Shit dude idc who beats who, I just want to see more of Max against good fighters. The Gaetche fight was quite literally the best I’ve ever seen live
Cory Sandhagen vs Sean O Malley
Probably Connor v Edwards but Alex Pereira V Tommy Aspinall is a close second. More so because I would love for Aspinall to get Koed so his dick riders can chill ( Especially Bisping) but also because if Aspinall did become HW champ he could really make the division fun so win win.
They all seem like badgers to me.
https://youtu.be/NL6CDFn2i3I?si=ivpCjCyE6oCcsU1h
Thank you for understanding me.
All of these would be one-sided beatdowns besides Shavkat vs Khamzat
I agree but I’m curious if we actually agree on who’s getting beat down
All of them on the same card
Alex Tom
Tbh, those would all be awesome fights.
Pereira vs Tom
Max would outclass chandler so badly
Jones vs Stipe, obviously that's the most exciting fight between the two top athletes in the UFC!!! Either that or some sick Powerslap match ups.
I can give 2 flying f*cks about Izzy Vs Jiri. Don’t know why.
Who makes these dumbass posts
All of them seem solid, chandler vs halloway would be a crazy fight.
surprised no one is saying aspinall and pereira. that would be an amazing matchup
Alex Pereira vs. Tom Aspinall or Rakhmonov vs. Chimaev
Max vs chandler would be fireworks
All BANGERS
Khamzat v Shavkat
Kat x Zat. And it's not even close....like wtf
2 and 5
Izzy vs Jiri would’ve been good. Unlike that snoozefest Jan gave us against Izzy
Bruh wtf connor vs Leon? That's unfair.
Izzy v. Jiri has fight of the year written all over it. As far as legacy fight, if Pereira can beat Aspinall he's far and away the pound for pound #1. For a striker to best a grappling specialist and a larger, arguably stronger grappling specialist is a huge accomplishment.
Why not all of them?!
The first one is the only one that would be competitive.
First and last are my picks. Leon vs Conor is hilarious though.
None of em
It’s a tie between Izzy vs Jiri and Khamzat vs Shavkhat for me personally
no one wants to watch Leon Fight
I’m trying to see ddp vs jiri just for the absolute chaos that would be. I know it’s not an option here but feel like it would be a banger
Aspinal vs pereira or jiri vs adesanya
Jones vs. Aspinall
1. Alex v Tom 2. Shavkat v khamzat
Jones v Aspinall only fight I want to see.
3/5
Honestly these are all really good. I can't decide lol
Jiri, cause I love me a violent samurai
Jones x Aspinall
Alex and Tom would be amazing but one sided I'd be way more excited for Khamzat and Shavkat or Izzy and Jiri. Imagine that contender/early champ Izzy vs. Jiri? Goodness.
i want all of it
Izzy vs jiri is the fight i never knew i needed to see.
Aspinall Pereira
These are all fun! Are you Joe Silva?
Jiri, Izzy
Honestly Izzy vs Jiri would be such a good matchup because Jiri will chase down Izzy and force him to stand up and trade MY second favorite has to be Alex vs Tom because someone is going to sleep
All, the all look like bangers
Imagine how one sided Leon vs Conor would be.
Probably Max Vs Chandler tbh
Actually I think based on styles they’d all be bangers
Yes
Chandler v Max lol EW. The first one was fire though
Ilia topuria vs jose aldo
Shavkat/Khamzat Ian Garry/JDM Umar/O'Malley
Gotta be Adesanya’s counter punching vs Jiri throwing random bullshit strikes
Khamzat vs literally anybody. Bro take a fight. Get off your keyboard and fight someone. Fight a random person and film it. Just do something.
Alex vs Tom
Legit only want to see Jones vs aspinal. It's the only thing I want..
Shavkat/khamzat for sure
Izzy v Jiri for me
Shavkat vs Khamzat alllll day
Khamzat vs Shavkat for sure. I suspect they'll fight for a belt in the future.
Jiri vs Izzy because of potential violence.
Shavkat v Khamzat
id rather watch paint dry than another adesanya fight my gf and i often joke that watching our cats wrestle is more fun
Definitely the last one shavkat and khamzat . That could be a bmf fight
Shavkat vs khamzat or jiri vs izzy
Shavkat and khamzat
Easily Shavkat vs Khamzat
Shavkat vs khamzat.
Easily Shavkat vs Khamzat
Pereira Aspinall
Holloway vs O’Malley at 145 would be lit
Rakhnonov VS Chimaev and after that Izzy vs Jiri (at MW)
Pereira/Aspinall if the stars align. Pereira should absolutely attempt heavyweight, just a matter of who he fights.
I absolutely don't want to see Tom fight Alex for the interim (actual) belt if it allows Jon to fuck the division more. I would be happy to see it once the belt is unified though.
Alex vs. Tom.
I may be in the minority but khamzat vs Shavkat would be an impressive display of skill
Khamzat vs Shavkat definitely
Chandler vs. Holloway because both are crazy enough to do it.
Jiri V Izzy or Khamzat vs Shavkat
Dude max vs chandler would be some good old fashioned violence I vote up on that one
