UFC 175: 9 Matches To Make For The Winners

What next for Ronda Rousey and Chris Weidman?

Ronda Rousey made short work of challenger Alexis Davis in the co-main event of UFC 175, delivering her second TKO victory, and fastest win yet. Chris Weidman engaged in a much closer battle with challenger and former light heavyweight champ Lyoto Machida, winning a unanimous decision when all was said and done. Uriah Hall, meanwhile, won his bout fighting almost three full rounds with a broken toe. The biggest card of the year thus far turned out to be a mixed bag of action outside those bouts, but there are a lot of matches to look at. One fight was kiboshed entirely, the Stefan Struve vs. Matt Mitrione heavyweight tilt, as Struve reportedly had a panic attack back stage that triggered heart palpitations. In an official statement released through the UFC, Struve stated that "I will take some time to myself to evaluate my health and career. Thank you for your support and understanding." We wish Struve the best. Meanwhile, there are 10 winning fighters we'll take a look at as we examine the fallout from UFC 175, but before we get started, a suggestion for Mitrione, whose bout with Struve was cancelled: since he has already been training, get him in quick, perhaps against Derrick Lewis, who called for the Mitrione fight after defeating Guto Innocente at the TUF 19 finale. Now, lets look over who could (and should) face who following UFC 175!
