Possible Fights after UFC Fight Night: Thompson vs Holland

  • Stephen Thompson vs Gilbert Burns

UFC Fight Night: Thompson vs Hollands: 5 fights to make after UFC Orlando event

At the moment, Stephen Thompson is ranked sixth in the Welterweight division. The Wonderboy was positioned above Gilbert Burns. Earlier, Thompson (16-4-1 MMA, 11-4-1 UFC) was defeated by Burns (19-4 MMA, 12-4 UFC) by a score of 29-28 on all judges’ scorecards. The welterweight fight was the UFC 264 co-main event at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Thompson may aim to redeem himself in a follow-up contest with Burns.

  • Sergei Pavlovich vs Ciryl Gane

It appears that we have a fresh heavyweight contender. Tai Tuivasa had become one of the most dangerous fighters in heavyweight, even if he hadn’t reached the mountain’s peak yet. Pavlovich bulldozed him like it was nothing when he went there. It seems like a fight between Pavlovich and Gane would be a must-see and could put either fighter at the top of the heap when the UFC decides what to do with the title.

  • Rafael Dos Anjos vs Vicente Luque

Following the fight, RDA only thought about his chance to fulfill a previous commitment and face Conor McGregor. The two men had faced off when RDA held the title in 2015. However, Dos Anjos’ injury stopped the fight in its tracks.

For McGregor, he has a choice of ten potential chances. It’s not the most likely possibility, in my opinion. Although a fight with Vicente Luque seems more possible and would be a lot of fun, I’d love to see RDA defeat McGregor.

  • Matheus Nicolau vs Alex Perez

With the victory, Nicolau is now firmly “in the mix” for the flyweight championship. The logical next move would be to combat Kai Kara-France, Alexandre Pantoja, or Brandon Royval. Pantoja is likely waiting for a chance at the gold medal, Royval was recently forced to withdraw from a match due to an injury, and Kara France will soon face Alex Perez.

If KKF vs. Perez continues, then insert Nicolau with the victor. Whoever exits that with their hand raised will unquestionably be competing for the title.

  • Roman Dolidze  vs Khamzat Chimaev

In less than 20 seconds, I went from an armbar to a triangle to a leg lock to a calf slicer, to a back mount, and then to a GnP. A little while afterward, the referee stopped the bout. The Georgian scored a big victory, propelling him into the top 15. He called Khamzat Chimaev out following the fight.
