This is the one division that an interim belt actually makes sense, since McMayweather hasn't even defended his belt yet. Interim belts in some of these other divisions is ridiculous.
Totally agree about those 3 fights, I think those are the ideal matches to make.If things were perfect, the three fights happening before the end of the year would be:
Ferguson vs Khabib
Lee vs Barboza
Gaethje vs Alvarez
That would really make the division interesting.
Aren't you excited for season 4379 of The Ultimate Fighter though?Really? This fight blows when we could of had Ferguson vs Gaethje.
Going to fight zingano in a catweight interm belt?Kevin Lee gets a shot from a win over Chiesa? WTF?! I think Barbosa and Gaethje deserved it more.
Soon I'll have an interim belt.
Justin would have been perfect but UFC going to UFCTrue but when they put Justin on TUF, it was over. Regarding Lee, the last second of the fight may have been controversial but he ran thru Chiesa and looked impressive doing it. I think he's ready for this moment and this should be a great fight.
It doesn't make sense. Conor could easily fight in early-mid November, which would only be a month after the Fergu-Lee fight is going to happen.This is the one division that an interim belt actually makes sense, since McMayweather hasn't even defended his belt yet.

This. He's had an easier road to the title than Anderson silvaKevin Lee gets a shot from a win over Chiesa? WTF?! I think Barbosa and Gaethje deserved it more.

Justin Gaethje doesn't deserve an interim title shot after almost getting KO'd multiple times in his UFC debut lolKevin Lee gets a shot from a win over Chiesa? WTF?! I think Barbosa and Gaethje deserved it more.

oh yeah I forgot they've been lined up to coach a women's season of TUF!! presumably they'll fight soon after the shows wrapped upGaethje nuthugger here but I like this fight a lot too. Justin is scheduled to fight Alvarez next right? That's a good match up for him.
Zingano TKO'd 2 future UFC champions, show some fucking respect.Going to fight zingano in a catweight interm belt?
Guarantee it will be the main event. It's a great match, both guys will bang. Who ya got in this one?oh yeah I forgot they've been lined up to coach a women's season of TUF!! presumably they'll fight soon after the shows wrapped up
any chance they will be the main event of the finale? has that even happened before? (the coaches headlining the finale)
Justin Gaethje for sure. Obviously I'm worried Eddie will come roaring back into the fight once he's hurt but I think he'll get murked in the opening round. I reckon he's the better wrestler too and his kicking game means Eddie can't just box off the backfoot, he's gotta find a way to land power and not get wrecked in the exchanges. Dangerous dangerous fight for both guys no doubt.Guarantee it will be the main event. It's a great match, both guys will bang. Who ya got in this one?
Yeah I think Justin will overwhelm Eddie with pressure and leg kicks. I look for this one to end violently.Justin Gaethje for sure.

Castillo's a TAM guy though, he gets in HQ grappling all year round. I'm not "high" on Ferguson to be honest, but if he's gonna lose this title fight it will be on the ground and he most likely knows that. 5 rounder, should be good.Don't sleep on Lee. Castillo gave Tony issues on the ground...
I'm still a bit bummed out they didn't schedule the Alvarez-Poirier rematch instead especially considering they've been going at it on social media since their fight. I wanted to see Dustin clean Eddie's clock so bad, never liked the guy.Yeah I think Justin will overwhelm Eddie with pressure and leg kicks. I look for this one to end violently.
