Potential UFC Matchmaking

Men's Bantamweight: Song Yadong v. Jimmie Rivera
Sixteenth-ranked Yadong moved to 8-0-1 in his last nine bouts and snapped Marlon Vera's five-fight win streak in the process. Rivera is currently ranked eleventh but has lost two straight against Aljamain Sterling and Petr Yan

Men's Featherweight: Jeremy Stephens v. Darren Elkins
Stephens has gone 0-4 with 1 no-contest in his last five outings while Elkins has lost four straight

Men's Flyweight: Jussier Formiga v. Alexandre Pantoja
If we assume the Figueredo/Benavidez fight will be rebooked for the vacant flyweight title, then tag third-ranked Brandon Moreno as the top contender- this means that a bout between fourth-ranked Formiga and fifth-ranked Pantoja would be for the #2 contender slot

Men's Featherweight: Bryce Mitchell v. Chase Hooper
Mitchell is 13-0 while Hooper is 9-0-1

Strawweight: Michelle Waterson v. Hannah Cifers
17-8 Waterson has lost two straight opposite Joanna Jedrzejczyk and Carla Esparza, while Cifers' loss to Angela Hill in January snapped a two-fight win streak over Polyana Viana and Jodie Esquibel

Lightweight: Donald Cerrone v. Clay Guida
52-fight veteran Cerrone has lost four straight, while 54-fight veteran Guida suffered a 58-second technical submission loss in his last outing back in August

Strawweight: Claudia Gadelha v. Marina Rodriguez
Gadelha has won two straight over Randa Markos and Angela Hill, while Rodriguez is 12-0-2.
The winner could face Carla Esparza, winner of three straight over Virna Jandiroba, Alexa Grasso and Michelle Waterson
