5 UFC trilogy fights that could happen in the near future

#2 UFC champion Amanda Nunes vs UFC champion Valentina Shevchenko

UFC fans have been asking for a third fight between Amanda Nunes and Valentina Shevchenko for a long time. Shevchenko is currently reigning over the flyweight division, while Nunes holds two belts simultaneously, doing so in the bantamweight and featherweight divisions of the UFC.

The two women first fought at UFC 196, where 'The Lioness' defeated Shevchenko via unanimous decision.

In her next fight, Nunes captured UFC gold as she defeated Miesha Tate via submission at UFC 200. Shevchenko also bounced back from the loss with back-to-back wins over Holly Holm and Julianna Pena.

Nunes and Shevchenko met again at UFC 215, this time with the bantamweight title on the line. 'Bullet' gave the Brazilian fighter a much tougher fight but eventually lost via split decision, as the three judges scored the contest 47-48, 48-47 and 48-47 in Nunes' favor.

Now, both fighters have cleared out their respective divisions. The 'Bullet' has been Nunes' toughest opponent so far. So it makes perfect sense to put the two fighters inside the octagon for a third time.

#1 Nate Diaz vs Conor McGregor

Nate Diaz vs Conor McGregor is one of the most iconic rivalries to take place in the UFC. Diaz gave the Irishman the first loss of his UFC career by submitting him at UFC 196.

'The Notorious' came back and put on a far better performance in the rematch to eke out a majority decision victory. These were two of the most exciting fights witnessed by MMA fans. Even the trash-talk and antics in the build-up to the two fights were entertaining.

Nate Diaz recently stole the show at UFC 263 when he landed a clean shot on Leon Edwards that wobbled 'Rocky'.

Today, both fighters are UFC stars with huge fan followings. A trilogy bout between Conor McGregor and Nate Diaz could turn out to be the biggest PPV event in UFC history.
