5 Fights That Must Happen In UFC
What super-fights can we get excited for this year?
As we enter into a new era with UFC and their new partnership with ESPN, we remain optimistic as to what heights the premier MMA outfit could deservedly reach during its time at its new home.
With all of the potential that comes with the UFC's new partnership, we could see a surge in popularity for the sport, more urgency for the biggest talents outside of the UFC to fight their way into the company, and even more high profile celebrities wanting to test themselves inside the Octagon (although we don't really want this).
In order for UFC to continue to grow at its current rate, they need to keep delivering stacked cards and gifting us salivating fans' the most-anticipated super-fights we want. There's been no shortage of big fights during UFC's time with WME-IMG, and we expect 2019 to be no different.
With this in mind, we venture into five potential high profile fights we would like to see, and possibly could see happening, whether that comes by the end of the year or sometime in early 2020. Conor and Khabin's bans can't end soon enough.
5. TJ Dillashaw Vs. Dominick Cruz 2
TJ Dillashaw went down to Flyweight to face current champion, Henry Cejudo, on 19 January, and he claimed no matter the outcome, he was interested in moving up to the Featherweight division to compete with Max Holloway. But, has TJ really accomplished everything he can at Bantamweight?
After successfully dethroning fierce rival Cody Garbrandt back in November 2017, and later defeating Cody once again in their immediate rematch, Dillashaw announced himself as the best Bantamweight of all time. But one man he is yet to beat is another division rival and ex-Bantamweight champion, Dominick Cruz.
It is no secret the two hate one another and Cruz believes before Dillashaw can call himself the best Bantamweight of all time, he must avenge his 2016 title loss to him.
