#4 Jose Aldo

Currently ranked as the #2 UFC Featherweight, although it had appeared that Aldo was about to retire from UFC once and for all, now it's clear he won't. He recently signed a new 8-fight contract with the company which allows Aldo to remain and fight.

After having lost his last fight against Alexander Volkanovski, the last thing that Jose Aldo will want is to lose a fight and he has a lot left to prove. Fighting and defeating Yair Rodriguez would see this come true, so in the coming weeks, we may see that the agreement for a fight between the two of them has been reached.


#3 'The Korean Zombie' Chan Sung Jung

If there was ever one fighter who would want revenge against Yair Rodriguez, it's The Korean Zombie. After being knocked out in the way that he was at UFC Denver, Jung has already returned to action and defeated his opponent.

Now, a rematch would be exactly what he needs to help him get back all the momentum that he lost after his last-second knockout defeat against Yair Rodriguez.

With Rodriguez obviously ready to go, this fight might take place sooner rather than later.
