๐ง๐ท Renato Moicano vs. Beneil Dariush ๐บ๐ธ ๐ฎ๐ท
Moicano just destroyed BSD, and is 3-0 in the 2024, in all 3 he was underdog. Beneil is guy who is available and best ranked, so why not?
๐ซ๐ท Benoit Saint-Denis vs. Joel Alvarez ๐ช๐ธ
If there is gonna be PPV in Spain headlined by Ilia, this fight should and would be atleast featured bout.
๐ซ๐ท Nassourdine Imavov vs. Loser of DDP/Strickland
Yeah, Imavov vs. Allen was very nice fight, but that is not really how next challenger should look like at the end of 3rd round. So, let's make that fight main event of fight night, maybe at spring 2025, if DDP vs. Strickland takes place in January.
๐บ๐ธ Brendan Allen vs. Jack Hermansson ๐ธ๐ช ๐ง๐ป
This fight was supposed to be main event in June 2023, but let's make it in early 2025. Probably 2 best submission guys at 185 rn. We can argue that Hernandez and Borralho could be there aswell.
๐ซ๐ท William Gomis vs. Edson Barboza ๐ง๐ท
I know that Gomis' win is controversial, but he is now 4-0 in the UFC, and imagine this fight with #15 Barboza!
๐ง๐ท Joanderson Brito vs. Muhammad Naimov ๐น๐ฏ
Brito arguably won, so let's not push him much back, let's give him this winnable fight after which he should be in position to ask for rankings.
๐บ๐ธ Bryan Battle vs. Neil Magny ๐บ๐ธ
Man, Pooh Bear is demolishing everyone who is on his way. You Know What I'm Sayin'. There is so much guys at 170 that deserve rankings, You Know What I'm Sayin', and not that much guys in top 15 that are right now to pair all them up, You Know What I'm Sayin'. But Battle MUST get his shot at rankings, You Know What I'm Sayin', and let's sacrifice Magny. You Know What I'm Sayin'.
๐ซ๐ท Kevin Jousset vs. Phil Rowe ๐บ๐ธ
To be honest, You Know What I'm Sayin', idk why and how did wins over Crosbie and Song put Jousset in same bracket as where Battle was, You Know What I'm Sayin'. Let's put him against some more real to his level of competition, You Know What I'm Sayin', about top 40ish Rowe. You Know What I'm Sayin'
๐ซ๐ท Morgan Charriere vs. Kyle Nelson ๐จ๐ฆ
If you would go and search "Most exciting unranked Featherweights in the UFC" these 2 names would probably show up. Lmao. Both are in fun fights, both can shut each other's lights out. So, let's see who's lights go out.
๐ง๐ท Gabriel Miranda vs. Steven Nguyen ๐บ๐ธ
Man, you got to love and respect that moustache. And you should not give anymore Frenchs to Fly.
๐ซ๐ท Fares Ziam vs. Diego Ferreira ๐ง๐ท
Ziam is now on 4 fight win streak with some very decent names in there. He should be somewhere around top 25 Lightweights, where, also Ferreira belongs right now. After Ziam's KO, which is one of the best this year, and Diego's last performance, we can expect fireworks here.
๐บ๐ธ Matt Frevola vs. Esteban Ribovics ๐ฆ๐ท
Frevola is kill or be killed guy. He either puts people out cold, or people put him out cold. Fight with Ribovics can deliver that. And also can provide us some info if Frevola belongs to best unranked 155ers after 2 bad KO losses, or if Ribovics can enter that room and take Matt's place.
๐ฒ๐ฉ Ion Cutelaba vs. Modestas Bukauskas ๐ฑ๐น
Cutelaba just avoided being cut, and got a W against UFC debutant. A fight against Modestas who is also 2-1 in last 3 could be nice fight.
๐ญ๐ท Ivan Erslan vs. Marcin Prachnio ๐ต๐ฑ
Erslan lost relative fun fight against Cutelaba, whom I booked against Bukauskas, against whom Prachnio lost. Another LHW European matchup somewhere on Eastern European card could be lil' fun.
๐ซ๐ท Oumar Sy vs. Alonzo Menifield ๐บ๐ธ
Sy is now 2-0 in the UFC against quite a bad competition, not gonna lie. But since Light Heavyweight division doesn't have that much unranked fighters, and he is forsure heading towards rankings, let's see if he belongs there or not, yet.
๐ฐ๐ท Da Woon Jung - Cut as he is now 0-4 in last 4.
๐ธ๐ฐ ฤฝudovรญt Klein vs. Jalin Turner ๐บ๐ธ
Klein underperformed for a guy who is -1000 favorite, but he is on his 6-0-1 streak, and there is not much people that are closer than him to rankings, and Turner who is 1-3 in his last 4, and is sitting at #14 should be good fight to make here.
๐บ๐ธ Roosevelt Roberts vs. Mohammad Yahya ๐ฆ๐ช
Since coming back to UFC, Roberts has gone 0-2, but both losses came against dangerous guys where he stepped in on short notice. Let's see where he stands against guy who is also 0-2.
๐ซ๐ท Taylor Lapilus vs. Daniel Marcos ๐ต๐ช
Lapilus performed like true Taylor Lapilus. Excellent striker, but seems like he does not want to finish people. He is one step closer to rankings, where, ideally he needs 2 more. Marcos is sitting at same area, and let's see who gets further from there.
๐บ๐ธ Vince Morales vs. Toshiomi Kazama ๐ฏ๐ต
Don't really anything to say here, I just think both Vince and Toshiomi are not UFC level... so let's put them together and let's see who is better.
๐ฆ๐ท Ailin Perez vs. Irene Aldana ๐ฒ๐ฝ
๐ท๐บ Darya Zheleznyakova vs. Chelsea Chandler ๐บ๐ธ
๐ช๐ธ Daniel Barez vs. Rei Tsuruya ๐ฏ๐ต
๐ฒ๐ฝ Victor Altamirano - Cut as he is now 0-3 in last 3.
๐ต๐น Jacqueline Cavalcanti vs. Germaine De Randamie ๐ณ๐ฑ
๐ซ๐ท Nora Cornolle vs. Josiane Nunes๐ง๐ท
๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ณ๓ ฃ๓ ด๓ ฟ Chris Duncan vs. Claudio Puelles ๐ต๐ช
Duncan just delivered. Puelles is known for good submissions, and now that we know that Duncan is more well rounded than, probably everyone thought, let's see where does this fight go.
๐ง๐ช Bolaji Oki vs. Anshul Jubli ๐ฎ๐ณ
Oki is 1-1, but guy that he beat would not be in UFC now if Hadzovic showed up. Later that guy lost in 145. Jubli lost to guy who got cut after that fight, and both are in losers queue. Should be fun stand up tho.
