This was a tough one for Gaethje, obviously. Who should be next: Winner of Rafael dos Anjos vs. Justin Gaethje, lightweight (lost to Charles Oliveira by submission) For the record, I don't think McGregor is deserving of a title shot - of course he isn't - but as I've said a million times (and we all know it to be true), the rules do not apply to McGregor.ĭepending on how certain things shake out, it wouldn't shock me to see McGregor get another title opportunity. So, what does that leave as the best option? If Volkanovski beats Holloway in their trilogy bout, Volkanovski has been talking about moving up, and I like the idea of him moving up if he beats Holloway. Islam Makhachev is the most deserving, but I strongly believe the UFC is going to rebook Makhachev against Beneil Dariush. If anything, fine, don't count this victory over Gaethje as a title defense but reinstate him as the champ. Yes, he missed weight for this fight, and that's on him, but he hasn't lost that distinction in my eyes. Look, whether he's the "official" champ or not, he's the champ in practice, right? We all acknowledge he's the champ. I'm gonna be honest: I don't know the answer to this one. Who should be next: Alexander Volkanovski, if Volkanovski beats Holloway in July

Chandler then grabbed the mic and hit a memorable promo that immediately caught the attention of Conor McGregor and potentially set the wheels in motion for a matchup between the two in the not-too-distant future. Chandler was involved in a close first round against Tony Ferguson but finished the fight in epic fashion. Michael Chandler stole the night with a front kick knockout that will be replayed for ages. Esparza won by split decision and became a two-time strawweight champ. As for Gaethje, two losses for the title will set him back, but he remains one of the sport's most exciting fighters and will have more big moments in the spotlight in the future.īefore the exhilaration of the Oliveira win, Rose Namajunas and Carla Esparza went five rounds for the strawweight title. 1 contender for the vacant UFC lightweight title, and at the moment, there isn't a perfect fit for a next foe. Both Oliveira and Gaethje exchanged some big shots that resulted in their opponents on their back but once Gaethje hit the mat, Oliveira seized the moment and finished the fight with a rear naked choke. The drama that surrounded Charles Oliveira since he stepped on the scale on Friday disappeared in an instant with a first-round submission finish of Justin Gaethje.
