With Sean O'Malley being the champion at 135, many wonder if he's going to fight Umar Nurmagomedov next. While he is booked to fight Merab Dvalishvili, no small task, a fight between O'Malley and Umar Nurmagomedov would be massive. But there are things in play, like Alexandre Pantoja and Ilia Topuria. So it may be wise for Umar Nurmagomedov to have a backup plan.

Shara Bullet is such a fun fighter but he's limited. Always with his back against the cage, he is prime for a wrestler to shoot and give him a hard night. He won at UFC Abu Dhabi as well and will move on to the next level of the UFC's middleweight division. But is Shara Bullet ready for the elite of 185 just yet?

Deiveson Figueiredo has been nothing but special. The former two time flyweight champion moved to 3-0 at bantamweight with his win over Chito Vera at UFC Abu Dhabi. The win will put Deiveson Figueiredo in the top five of a stacked bantamweight division only needing one more win to get to a title. Deiveson Figueiredo vs. Petr Yan, anyone?

Tony Ferguson lost his eighth straight fight to Michael Chiesa and retired for about 3 minutes. He's done, he's not done, who knows with Tony Ferguson. Once the scariest fighter in the UFC, now Tony Ferguson is a sad case of not being able to let go.
