If Conor McGregor loses his trilogy bout against Dustin Poirier, I believe you book him in another trilogy fight with Diaz. So I am going to play a little fantasy booking. While he showed the world he is a bonafide superstar this past weekend, his inactivity makes it hard to book his fights. These are the only two fights to make for Edwards. If we can’t get Usman, Edwards versus Colby Covington would be absolutely bananas. Edwards has waited his turn, and his time is now. What does intrigue me is a rematch with the champion Usman. Masvidal was just crushed twice by a wrestler in Kamaru Usman, and stylistically that doesn’t intrigue me. I am seeing a lot of word going around about him and Jorge Masvidal, but honestly, I don’t want to see that. Dominating Nate Diaz for 24 minutes, then surviving a minute from hell at the end is no easy feat.

Edwards reminded the entire world just how good he is. With Gilbert Burns booked against Stephen Thompson, and Michael Chiesa, and Vicente Lique rumored to be booked soon, this is the fight to make. But keeping with the theme I will build later with Edwards, Muhammad against Jorge Masvidal would be a step up in name recognition and style of fighter, no matter if I believe Masvidal is garbage. We will get to Edwards later, but I think this fight should happen at some point. As far as the next options go, I really like rebooking him against Leon Edwards. His takedown defense was out of this world, and that’s really what we needed to see out of him. It’s been a hell of a career Maia, but the time has come.īelal Muhammad, much to the chagrin of fight fans, I thought looked incredible Saturday. He put on his social media that he wants to fight Nate Diaz. At 43 years old, he showed Saturday he doesn’t have the speed and athleticism to keep up with these young guys anymore. You want to talk about a war? Those two dudes would put on a grappling clinic. If we really wanted to get spicy, book Craig versus Magomed Ankalaev. I believe him against Johnny Walker would be a lot of fun, and stylistically would be a great challenge for them both. Paul Craig showed out this past Saturday night and deserves a fight to make a name for himself and show he is a true contender. Good-looking fighters looking to climb the ranks. I like a fight with Dustin Jacoby for both men, honestly. Hill can still make some noise at 205lbs, so you book him a showcase, basically. At 30 years old, he still has time to turn this around and improve. An undefeated prospect making his main card PPV debut, how would he fare? Well, we found out. This dude looked incredible on Dana White’s Contenders Series and won a contract with the UFC in the Light Heavyweight Division. Jahamal Hill coming into UFC 263 had heaps of hype around him, and rightfully so. Dana White said in his post PPV media session his arm dislocated, it did not break.
