#4. Conor McGregor vs. Jorge Masvidal - UFC welterweight division
While their results in the UFC have been less than stellar recently, Conor McGregor and Jorge Masvidal remain top-five draws in the sport. Few, if any, fighters draw as much attention as 'The Notorious' and Masvidal, so if they fight, it would be a massive contest and a logical next step for both men.
McGregor seems interested in moving up to the welterweight division where Masvidal currently competes. The Irish fighter’s most recent win came at 170 lbs, and he could have a shorter route to the title there, given his losses to Dustin Poirier at lightweight. For Masvidal, it would be a chance to rebound in a big way.
Once again, the fact that both men have struggled to pick up wins recently doesn’t stop it from being one of the biggest fights possible today. Pitting two of the biggest stars the sport has ever seen against each other will be sure to sell a ridiculous number of PPVs and draw a ton of attention.
#3. Francis Ngannou vs. Jon Jones - UFC heavyweight division
Jon Jones has teased a move to heavyweight for years and has already entered the greatest of all-time discussions due to his run at 205 lbs. If he does finally make this move, he will almost certainly receive a title shot. The biggest fight for Jones in that division is undoubtedly current champ Francis Ngannou.
For the moment, both men’s status with the company is a little unknown. Jones has spoken at length about his desire to return to action, but we’ve yet to see that take place. Ngannou has no fights remaining on his current contract and has become a big enough star that he could well look at his options outside of the UFC.
Should the stars align and this fight gets made, it might be the biggest fight in MMA heavyweight history. A dominant champion against an all-time great in his first fight in the division would do huge numbers and be a genuinely intriguing fight. Let’s see if this enormous clash ultimately comes to fruition.
