Like your standard ‘matches to make next’, but with an emphasis on fantasy and a disregard for probability. Basically, fights that should happen, but probably won’t.

Germaine De Randamie: Scaling Those Dizzy Heights

Top of the pile and third from bottom, that’s the UFC’s newest champion, Germaine De Randamie.

We’ve already discussed the merits of having a belt but no division, so let’s just dive into this clusterfuck and look at the many possibilities out there for the undisputed queen of 145.

Holly Holm

Completed.

Cristiane Santos

As the only other option currently at 145lbs, predicting anything other than ‘Cyborg’ is a madness. Presumably the winner of Santos-De Randamie retires the division, given that two fights in and everybody’s already had a pop at the belt.

If there’s any fight left in Ronda Rousey, NOW would be the time get back in there. With Santos still fighting her battles in courtrooms, there’s an opportunity to jump the queue. And don’t tell me the UFC wouldn’t let her.

Rousey might not have fared well against Amanda Nunes, but you’ve got to think the former champ would have done better with getting De Randamie to the ground than Holm. Eight minutes Holm had her opponent pressed against the cage. Eight.

Give Rousey a quarter of that and we’ll see the first female fighter to take gold in multiple divisions.

Then retire before ‘Cyborg’ can get her.

Anderson Silva: When The Harlem Globetrotters’ Ball Stops Spinning

This is what it’s like watching Anderson fight nowadays.

The swagger’s still there, it’s just the actual fighting bits that appear to have gone.

Apparently Derek Brunson lost the fight, so I must have closed the door before Anderson pulled his finishing moves out. But it’s Anderson, so who cares? If he’s having fun, so am I. Like an inebriated dad cutting some rug, he’s still got it, and he’ll show you youngsters a trick or two.

Like how to win a fight you didn’t actually win! Watch and learn, Derek!

Give him Artem Lobov next. If Lobov wants it, that is. We must make sure that Conor’s mate gets what he asks for.

Ronaldo ‘Jacare’ Souza: Give The Man What He Deserves FFS

The trilogy.

Are YOU ready?
