UFC Matchmaking Part Two
Men's Bantamweight
Song Yadong should put his 8-0-1 streak on the line opposite Jimmie Rivera. Rivera is ranked eighth but has lost two straight against Aljamain Sterling and Petr Yan.
Welterweight
I'd like to see Geoff Neal put his 5-0 UFC record and seven-fight winning streak on the line opposite Michael Chiesa. Neal's last three wins have come against Belal Muhammad, Niko Price and Mike Perry while he's defeated Bilal Williams, Chase Waldon, Brian Camozzi, Frank Camacho, Muhammad, Price and Perry during his seven-fight run. Chiesa, on the other hand, has won three straight against Carlos Condit, Diego Sanchez and Rafael dos Anjos.
Strawweight
Claudia Gadelha v. Marina Rodriguez
Gadelha, a 22-fight veteran, has won two in a row opposite Randa Markos and Angela Hill. Rodriguez is 12-0-2. The winner of this bout could next match up against Carla Esparza, another 22-fight veteran who's won three in a row against Virna Jandiroba, Alexa Grasso and Michelle Waterson.
Women's Flyweight
8-1 Sabina Mazo has won two straight against Shana Dobson and JJ Aldrich.
Who should she fight next?
I'd like to see her match up against Molly McCann next. It's not a big leap in the rankings but keep in mind Mazo has just nine pro fights under her belt.

Potential UFC Matchmaking
Men's Flyweight: Deiveson Figueredo v. Joseph Benavidez 2 for the vacant flyweight title sometime in the summer, with Brandon Moreno as the top contender. Since re-entering the UFC, Moreno has tallied a split draw opposite Askar Askarov and two straight unanimous decision wins over Kai Kara-France and Jussier Formiga.
I also like the idea of fourth-ranked Formiga v. fifth-ranked Alexandre Pantoja for the #2 contender slot.
Men's Featherweight: I still like the idea of Bryce Mitchell v. Chase Hooper. What's not to like about 13-0 v. 9-0-1?
Strawweight: Gadelha/Hill winner v. Marina Rodriguez, with the winner of that bout facing Carla Esparza. Marina Rodriguez is 12-0-2 and would be a challenging test as a result. After her win Saturday, Esparza is on a three-fight win streak over Virna Jandiroba, Alexa Grasso and Michelle Waterson

UFC 249 Questions
How likely is it that we'll see Calvin Kattar v. Yair Rodriguez later this year?
Which do you see happening- Ferguson v. McGregor or McGregor v. Diaz 3?
Is Henry Cejudo actually retired? If so, who should fight for the then-vacant belt?
UFC 249 Results
Lightweight Main Event: Justin Gaethje defeated Tony Ferguson by fifth-round TKO, breaking a whopping twelve-fight win streak dating back to October 2013. Gaethje- now the interim champion- looks toward a title unification bout opposite Khabib Nurmagomedov later this year
Men's Bantamweight Co-Main: Henry Cejudo defended his bantamweight title by second-round stoppage of Dominick Cruz- thereby defending belts in two different weight classes after defending the flyweight belt in January of last year. This also means that his last four fights have been wins over Demetrious Johnson (eleven straight flyweight title defenses), TJ Dillashaw (former UFC bantamweight champion), Marlon Moraes (a top bantamweight contender heading into UFC 238) and Cruz, regarded as one of the best UFC bantamweights ever. Cruz, who was competing for the first time since December 2016, has now lost two straight
Heavyweight: Francis Ngannou cemented a future title shot as he needed just twenty seconds to knockout Jairzinho Rozenstruik, who entered the night 10-0 with previous consecutive wins over Andrei Arlovski and Alistair Overeem. Ngannou, on the other hand, is now on a four-fight first-round-KO/TKO streak totaling 2 minutes 42 seconds
Catchweight: Originally billed as a featherweight bout, Calvin Kattar tallied a second-round stoppage win over Jeremy Stephens. Kattar rebounds from a November decision loss to Zabit Magomedsharipov, while Stephens drops to 0-4 with a no-contest in his last four bouts
Welterweight: Anthony Pettis defeated Donald Cerrone by decision, breaking a two-fight skid consisting of a submission loss to Carlos Diego Ferreira in January and a decision loss to Nate Diaz back in November. Pettis has won two of his last three at welterweight despite an 0-2 streak at lightweight. Cerrone, on the other hand, has now lost four straight (Tony Ferguson, Justin Gaethje, Conor McGregor and Pettis)
Heavyweight: Aleksey Oliynyk tallied win number fifty-nine in his career by unanimous decision over Fabricio Werdum. This is Oliynyk's second straight win, adding to an armbar submission of Maurice Greene back in January. Werdum, competing for the first time since March 2018, has now lost two straight
Strawweight: Carla Esparza tallied her third-straight win by split decision over Michelle Waterson, adding to wins over Alexa Grasso and Virna Jandiroba. Waterson has now lost two straight
Welterweight: Vicente Luque tallied a third-round doctor-stoppage win over Niko Price. He is 1-0 in 2020 after a 3-1 2019
Men's Featherweight: Bryce Mitchell improved to 13-0 with a dominant unanimous decision over Charles Rosa
Light Heavyweight: Ryan Spann claimed his eighth win in a row by split decision over Sam Alvey
