Israel Adesanya vs Paulo Costa

This fight could take place. In August last year, Costa won a unanimous decision in Yoel Romero and received right to challenge the UFC title in the Middleweight division.

Henry Cejudo vs Peter Yang

Despite all the attempts of promotion to hold on may 9 event UFC 250, Henry Cejudo refused to defend his title in the easiest weight at this date.

The Russian drummer-destroyer at the end of last year destroyed the legend of the UFC Uryu Faber, knocking him out in the third round with a hard Hanekom. Looks like Ian in terms of Boxing qualities have no equal in the Bantamweight division.

But can it cope with a phenomenal wrestling Cejudo? The Olympic champion managed to knock down almost everyone they faced in the octagon, and judging by his fight with Marlon Moraes a, he has an iron will and its incredibly hard to stop, even when he’s shocked.

Alexander Volkanovski vs Chon Chan Dream

Max Holloway definitely deserves an immediate rematch with the current champion at Featherweight Volkanovski, however, Jung Chang’s Dream is perhaps the most popular fighter in the division, and he did enough to get a title shot.

“The Korean zombie” extremely successfully held in 2019. First, it is less than a minute, he knocked out Renato Moicano, and then also in the first round, finished a succession of punches ex-champion of UFC lightweight champion Frankie Edgar.

The battle between “Alexander the Great” and “Zombies” will surely become a fantastic sarubai. If the pressure and prudent “it seems” the Australian champion to break Chona and his iron chin?

Camara Ousmane vs Jorge Masvidal

Last year and for Usman and Masvidal was a breakthrough. Usman took the crown in the Welterweight division from the hands of Tyron Woodley, and then defended it, finishing Colby Covington. Masvidal scored knockouts Darren and Tilla Ben Askren, as well as finish Nate Diaz due to cuts.

Masvidal, as a contender, out of the competition after losing to Covington. In the UFC just have to give him a long-awaited title fight. Masvidal not lost in 2017 and is currently a fan favorite, plus he and Usman have long pioneered the promotion of the fight.

The only thing that may hinder the implementation of this great battle, in addition to coronavirus is Conor McGregor. Masvidal extremely interested in a fight with an Irishman, because this fight will fill up his Bank account for much more money than a fight with Usman.

Khabib Nurmagomedov vs Tony Ferguson

Habib predicting long laithwaite Kingdom in the UFC, many believe that he will hold the title as long as he wants. However, the Japanese champion has never met a fighter like Ferguson. Unorthodox fighting technique and an uncanny ability to adapt to any situation inside the octagon doing American those who are able to shock Nurmagomedov, and the whole world.
