Main Event
Women's Flyweight Title Fight: Valentina Shevchenko v. Jessica Andrade

Co-Main

Dream Main and Co-Main for March 2021 UFC 259
Main Event
Middleweight Title Fight: Israel Adesanya v. Robert Whittaker 2

Co-Main
Light Heavyweight Title Fight: Jan Blachowicz v. Teixeira/Santos winner  


What should be next for Valentina Shevchenko?
Jessica Andrade. Simple. 
And have Lauren Murphy face Cynthia Calvillo in a title eliminator bout.  


Who should compete in a UFC lightweight grand prix?
First Quarterfinal: Ferguson-Chandler, if that does take place sometime soon
Second Quarterfinal: McGregor-Poirier 2
*these can always be reversed
Third Quarterfinal: Dan Hooker v. Charles Oliveira, with the winner meeting Justin Gaethje in the second semifinal 


Should Israel Adesanya's next fight be against Jan Blachowicz for the 205 strap?
No.
The UFC prez has moved on from Adesanya-Whittaker 2 for the middleweight strap because Whittaker "doesn't want to fight Adesanya", at least according to the head of the UFC. But it's not that Whittaker doesn't want to fight Adesanya- it's that Whittaker doesn't want to fight Adesanya right now. With a new addition to the family expected in January, Whittaker is looking for February or March- six months at the latest from Adesanya's second title defense. 
Adesanya has said he wants to clean out the middleweight division before moving to light heavyweight, and bidding to go 2-0 against Whittaker seems like an excellent way to do that. And then take out Hermansson or Till in August or September. 
Not to mention the fact that Teixeira-Santos this weekend is a top contender bout at 205 anyway.
