Matches To Make After UFC Vegas 86

UFC Vegas 86 went down final evening (Sat., Feb. 10, 2024), which featured a Middleweight showdown that noticed Jack Hermansson defeat Joe Pyfer by way of unanimous resolution. Within the co-featured bout, Dan Ige surprised Andre Fili within the very first spherical, knocking him out somewhat viciously to earn one other post-fight bonus award.

Winner: Jack Hermansson

Who He Ought to Face Subsequent: Nassourdine Imavov

Hermansson acquired again within the win column with a powerful win over Joe Pyfer, and he might very nicely crack the High 10 come subsequent week. So far as what could possibly be subsequent for “Joker,” maybe a showdown in opposition to is so as. I do know I beforehand urged Imavov face off in opposition to the winner of Brendan Allen and Marvin Vettori, however this one makes extra sense. Imavov is coming off a giant win over Roman Dolidze simply final week, so their turnaround occasions would sync up.

Winner: Dan Ige

Who He Ought to Face Subsequent: Sodiq Yusuff vs Diego Lopes winner

Ige bounced again properly from his powerful loss to Bryce Mitchell by securing a first-round knockout win over Andre Fili, placing him at 3-1 over his final 4 fights. It stays to be seen if he’ll transfer up the three spots must crack the High 10, however Ige reminded the 145-pound weight class simply how harmful he may be when he’s on level. Sodiq Yusuff and Diego Lopes are set to throw down at UFC 300, and the winner of the bout is smart for “50K.”

Winner: Ihor Potieria

Who He Ought to Face Subsequent: Albert Duraev

Potieria snapped his two-fight shedding streak by defeating Robert Bryczek by way of unanimous resolution. Potieria is simply 2-3 contained in the Octagon, so he actually wants to start out string extra wins collectively. As for Duraev, he was speculated to face Bryczek at this occasion earlier than he was pulled as a consequence of visa points. He’s coming off a tricky submission loss by the hands Jun Yong Park, so he’s hungry for a giant win.

Winner: Gregory Rodrigues

Who He Ought to Face Subsequent: Anthony Hernandez vs Roman Kopylov winner

Rodrigues scored an enormous knockout win over Brad Tavares, and now “RoboCop” has his sights set on a title run. In spite of everything he’s 6-2 in his first eight fights with the promotion, so it isn’t too farfetched to consider he could make a run in direction of the strap. He must be within the High 15 following his huge win, so he’s making the fitting strides. A combat in opposition to Hernandez (No. 14) appears like matchup. Hernandez was speculated to face Ikram Aliskerov at UFC 298 however was compelled out of the occasion with an sickness. Hernandez will now face Kopylov at UFC 298, and Rodrigues getting the winner is smart.

Winner: Michael Johnson

Who He Ought to Face Subsequent: Drew Dober

Johnson was in a position to get again on observe and again within the win column be defeating Darrius Flowers by way of unanimous resolution. After preventing for UFC for over 14 years now, there aren’t too many individuals “The Menace” has but to face. One man he has but to face, nevertheless, is Drew Dober. The chief in UFC knockouts suffered a tricky loss by the hands of Renato Moicano simply final week, so a pairing with Johnson would make sense. Each males love to face and bang, so there’s a huge likelihood for one man to gather a spotlight reel end.

Winner: Rodolfo Vieira

Who He Ought to Face Subsequent: Jun Yong Park

Vieira earned his second straight win by defeating Armen Petrosyan by way of arm-triangle choke, his second straight win. He improves to 5-2 contained in the Octagon. Up subsequent, I’m feeling a showdown in opposition to Park, who just lately noticed his four-fight win streak come to an finish by the hands of Andre Muniz, shedding by way of razor-thin split-decision.
