Amanda Nunes has been a dominant force in the Bantamweight and Featherweight division, holding both titles in the respective divisions. Her two fights with Shevchenko have been both wins, but there last fight at UFC 215 could have smoothly gone to Shevchenko. Seeing one more fight to settle things between the two. It would be interesting to see if the UFC would book this match again because Shevchenko is the current flyweight champion. But they have a score to settle.
3. Jorge Masvidal vs. Nate Diaz 2

This fight was extremely hyped up the UFC even made a title for this fight. The Baddest Dude in the game in New York City at Madison Square Garden. There fight at UFC 244 did not go as planned as the fight was stopped short in the third round due to a significant cut on Nate Diaz eyebrow. The UFC has to give them another fight the fans felt like they were robbed of this fight.

Masvidal has been calling out Mcgregor, and they want back and forth on twitter the same thing with Justin Gaethje. Fans also need to say the conclusion to the trilogy between Diaz and Mcgregor.

This fight has been scheduled on four separate occasions but has been canceled all four times. Fans have been waiting to see this match for years now, and these two have gone back and forth, and when this fight does happen, it will be a big-time fight.
