On Monday’s podcast, ESK outlined how Leon Edwards’ dramatic win at UFC 278 underscores the need for the UFC to just make the fights that make sense as often as possible, rather than regularly denying less popular, less sparkly fighters the opportunities their efforts merit.
Today, he puts on his matchmaking hat (why is it always a hat?) and shares his thoughts on what fights he would make for the champions in each division if he were in charge:
Strawweight: Carla Esparza vs. Marina Rodriguez
Flyweight: Valentina Shevchenko vs. Alexa Grasso
Bantamweight: Amanda Nunes vs. Ketlen Vieira
Flyweight: Deiveson Figueiredo vs. Brandon Moreno
Bantamweight: Sterling vs. Vera or Dillashaw vs. Dvalishvili
Featherweight: Alexander Volkanovski vs. Arnold Allen
Lightweight: Oliveira/Makhachev Winner vs. Dariush/Gamrot Winner
Welterweight: Leon Edwards vs. Kamaru Usman
Middleweight: Adesanaya/Pereira Winner vs. Andre Muniz
Light Heavyweight: Jiri Prochazka vs. Magomed Ankalaev
Heavyweight: Francis Ngannou vs. ???
