Conors next options:

Gaethje
Tony
Nate trilogy
Pacquiao

I think Dustin vs Chandler makes sense. Khabib can vacate and we can see the former Bellator lightweight champion contend for a UFC belt. Tthe only other person that can lay a claim is Oliviera.

Dustin wants Oliviera not Chandler so I'd make that

Gaethje vs Chandler for the number 1 contender

If Conor does want to fight again have him vs tony

Is what I think should be diggers but Dana saying post fight chandler Dustin next. Chandler speaks well and probably sells well so get it but too quick imo.

Dustin vs olievera for the title, dustin vs chandler for num1 contenders

Dustin to get 1st shot after number 1 contender?

That's based on khabib giving up the belt which i think he will

Dustin is fighting for the title next. Whether it's the official or interim belt remains to be seen.

Deserves official. Chandler being pushed but also get it from ufc with khabib retired abs Conor getting beat in their interests to create a new name.

Askren vs jake Paul confirmed

Actually fancy jake Paul to win that tbh

Askren putting himself at risk of another highlight knockout loss

what an idiot, cant see askren winning unless hes been hiding his stand up

Ok, so is anyone going to dethrone Usman because at the moment, he looks like a machine. His conditioning is incredible, his chin has now been proven, his wrestling and grappling are elite and his striking, although not flashy, has now reached new levels of effectiveness. I am seeing shades of GSP, where the use of the jab, wrestling and ability to execute a game plan is securing victory every time.

He called out Masvidal next and despite how the first fight went, I actually think stylistically, he may be the only guy that can beat Usman.

Also, this card overall was appalling but UFC 259 looks phenomenal.

Very impressed with Usman again but Burns did stun him and hurt him in the first. He recovered well of course and it was a great finish, but shows he can be caught.

Colby is the only one who is anywhere near usman in that division, those 2 are miles above everyone

Usman vs masvidal 2 would be pointless

Colby vs Leon Edwards would be a nice fight if they can get it signed

Digby

Colby doesn't have the power to beat Usman, which means Usman will always have the advantage in a 5 round fight. Usmans striking is cleaner and the fact that he broke Colbys jaw and finished him, doesn't bode well for a rematch.

Jorge has the best boxing in the division. With a full camp, he may be able to hurt Usman.

Not sure where I stand with usman, I respect he can only beat the guys ahead of him but feel that division is quite weak and full of nearly men. Masvidal doesn’t really deserve a rematch but after the last few wins Usman has may as well let him pick and also makes sense as Jorge is a big ppv star. I hope he sparks Jorge the trump supporting kant.

His jab was ludicrous last night tho and his stance switch really impressive. He’s improving as a fighter definitely I just don’t think anyone in that top 10 can push him unless chimaev is legit which tbf no one knows

Also Usman is the new king of cringe. Stop trying so hard

I really don't rate Jorge as high as he is, he has fans but he was shown up in the class level against usman

The colby fight was great and was 2-2 going into the 5th, they are undoubtedly the best 2 in the division

Aspinall with another nice victory. Interesting fighter to watch.

Aspinall has potential. He has a unique striking style and is quick for a heavyweight.

Jorge has beaten 1 ranked fighter atm, hes been built up.way better than he actually is
