#4. Welterweight

Welterweight has grown in excitement this past year. 2019 will conclude with a showdown between Kamaru Usman and Colby Covington which will give a clear picture as to what's next.

Jorge Masvidal seems to be next in line but he's made it clear that it's not the title he cares about the most - it's the money. With that said, we could see the potential return of Nick Diaz to face Masvidal. Even Conor McGregor vs Donald "Cowboy" Cerrone will be at Welterweight.

Leon Edwards is expected to face Tryon Woodley in early 2020 as well, while Rafael Dos Anjos takes on Michael Chiesa on January 25th.


#3. Middleweight

There's a new king of the 185-ers! The new Kiwi Champion Israel Adesanya has taken the Middleweight division by storm and expects to continue his momentum in 2020 as he called out Yoel Romero following Paulo Costa's injury.

If Adesanya makes it out healthy, then a clash against Paulo Costa seems inevitable but there's a lot of new blood in the division. Darren Till vs Robert Whittaker is a high possibility for early 2020 while Jared Cannonier is just a win away from earning a title shot.
