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.
