5 Must-See Fights To Make After UFC 245

1. Kamaru Usman Vs. Jorge Masvidal

Could there be any other match-up to make at welterweight right now other than the title fight between Kamaru Usman and Jorge Masvidal? Considering the fact that both men have had the best 12 months of their careers, it's hard to see how these two aren't next for each other.

Following his victories over Darren Till, Ben Askren and Nate Diaz in 2019, Masvidal has become the hottest fighter in the sport, with a number of options ahead of him for his next fight. There are some rumours that a potential scrap with Conor McGregor could be on the horizon, if he's able to defeat Donald Cerrone at UFC 246 in January. Although a battle with McGregor would be a huge money fight, a chance at the title can't be scoffed at.

Usman delivered a fantastic performance against Colby Covington at UFC 245. With so many eyes on the fight due to their heated rivalry, the UFC welterweight champion will have certainly gained some fans after his successful title defense. While a fight between the two wouldn't gain the same sort of traction that a bout with McGregor would, it would still be a hell of a fight to watch.
