Coming down to the most likely option on this list, Brian 'T-City- Ortega. The #3 ranked Featherweight has all the momentum on his side after he ended Cub Swanson's 4-fight win streak and his title aspirations in the process.
The word running across town is that Edgar vs Ortega is 'all but a done deal' for 222 in Las Vegas on March 3rd and that the card, as previously stated, could become a Fight Night.
