5 fights to make in the UFC welterweight division with Kamaru Usman injured

#4. Jorge Masvidal vs. Conor McGregor

Masvidal and McGregor have a combined record of 57-22

Jorge Masvidal and Conor McGregor are two of the biggest UFC stars we have ever seen. While they have both struggled for results as of late, a fight between these two men would sell a ridiculous amount of PPVs. It only ranks as number four due to the pair's current positioning in the UFC rankings.

Masvidal has lost three in a row, but in fairness his losses have come against the best welterweights on the planet. With the title out of reach for now and given the significant amount of money he is now being paid, Masvidal will only be looking for big-name fights moving forward. They don't get any bigger than Conor McGregor.

McGregor has lost two-in-a-row and has been sidelined with injury but appears set to return to the sport soon and compete at 170 lbs. Pairing these two fighters together would create a monumental event for the UFC. They could even put Masvidal's BMF title on the line, which would only add to the spectacle.

#3. Gilbert Burns vs. Sean Brady

Brady and Burns have a record of 35-5

These men may not be as high-profile as the previous entry, but when it comes to the welterweight rankings, you could argue this is a bigger fight. Burns and Brady are ranked No.4 and No.9 in the UFC rankings, while Masvidal is ranked No.8 and McGregor is ranked No.8 at lightweight.

Gilbert Burns has proven he isn't one to back down from a challenge with his impressive performance last time out against Khamzat Chimaev. It would therefore be fascinating to see how he would fare against another undefeated prospect in Sean Brady.

Brady is 15-0 and looked impressive last time out against Michael Chiesa. A fight with Burns would be a great way of seeing just how good he is. For the Brazilian, it would likely further increase his popularity as a fearless contender who will take on all-comers.
