Top lightweight fights to make
- Thread starter D241
- Start date
Hooker is also 7 out of his last 8. The main thing is that Dustin and Gaethje need to be forced to fight these guys to justify their spots in the top 5 once coronavirus ends/people learn to live with it. Not much we can do about Khabib-Tony-Conor hijacking the top 3 spots, but the UFC shouldn't let all 5 top guys sit around.
Unless Gaethje fights Conor, I would do:
Hooker vs Gaethje (it's a more competitive fight than the proposed Dustin-Hooker fight)
Dustin vs Oliveira
Islam vs Ferreira, with the winner getting a top 5 guy next
Sometimes people worry about 'killing off contenders' but LW really needs to start doing that. There's too much of a logjam.
