Merab Dvalishvili (19-4)

The reigning bantamweight champion, Merab Dvalishvili is on a 12-fight streak, with 11 of those wins at bantamweight. While he isn't a finisher, he is a relentless cardio machine with a strong takedown game coming off an impressive win over Umar Nurmagomedov.

Sean O'Malley (18-2) (1)

Sean O'Malley is a flashy striker coming off a bantamweight title loss to Merab Dvalishvili. He hasn't fought since UFC 306, but is aiming to regain the throne.

Ad

Julianna Peña (12-5)

Coming off a controversial title win over Raquel Pennington at UFC 307, the now two-time women's bantamweight champion Julianna Peña likely feels like she has a lot to prove. She is being written off, just like she was before her upset win over Amanda Nunes. So she will be eager to silence her doubters once again.

Kayla Harrison (18-1)

Kayla Harrison is regarded as the uncrowned queen of women's bantamweight, and there's a good reason behind that assumption. She's a two-time Olympic gold medalist judoka, freakishly strong, and submitted the once great Holly Holm.

Kelvin Gastelum (19-9) (1)

At one point, Kelvin Gastelum was a well-regarded fighter, having even competed for interim middleweight gold. Unfortunately, his form has dipped tremendously and he is now 3-6 in his last 9 fights, though he did beat Daniel Rodriguez recently.

Ad

Joe Pyfer (13-3)

The unapologetic Joe Pyfer is coming off a big knockout win over Marc-André Barriault and is determined to continue his climb up the middleweight rankings.

Mario Bautista (15-2)

Mario Bautista last-faced the legendary José Aldo, beating him via split-decision in his 7th straight win. While he isn't always exciting, he is always effective.

Patchy Mix (20-1)

The latest ex-Bellator champion to sign with the UFC, Patchy Mix is looking to put his controversial split-decision win over Magomed Magomedov behind him with an impressive win on his UFC debut.

Ad

Vicente Luque (23-10-1)

A veteran of the fight game, Vicente Luque is a hard-hitting generalist with underrated grappling game, which recently earned him a submission win over Themba Gorimbo.

Kevin Holland (27-13) (1)

While he is flashy and powerful, Kevin Holland has always failed to meet expectations. Although he recently beat Gunnar Nelson, he is still 2-4 in his last six fights and in need of more consistency.
