Winner: Lone’er Kavanagh
Who He Should Face Next: Asu Almabayev
Kavanagh — who is currently not ranked — will likely hop into the Top 15 (maybe even the Top 10) after defeating the No. 4 ranked fighter in the division. As far as a bout against Almabayev, it makes sense since he is the one who he stepped in for against Moreno to save the main event. Almabayev is currently ranked No. 8 in the division and is on a two-fight win streak, pushing his UFC record to 6-1 inside the Octagon.
Winner: David Martinez
Who He Should Face Next: Mario Bautista
Winner: King Green
Who He Should Face Next: Michael Chandler — why not?
Winner: Edgar Chairez
Who He Should Face Next: Steve Erceg
Chairez improved to his record to 3-2-1 after defeating Felipe Bunes via split-decision. I like a fight between he and Erceg next. Erceg recently snapped his three-fight losing streak by defeating Ode’ Osbourne in Aug. 2025, a much needed win since the last time he had his hand raised in victory prior to that was two years ago. Erceg is currently ranked No. 11 in the division but he has no room to be turning down fights against fighters ranked outside of the Top 15.
Winner: Imanol Rodríguez
Who He Should Face Next: Alden Coria
Rodriguez improved his record to 7-0 by impressing in his UFC debut with a TKO win over Kevin Borjas (highlights), a great way to start his run with his new company. A fight against Coria will be pitting two young and rising 125-pound fighters. Coria hasn’t tasted defeat in his last six fights and is 2-0 inside the Octagon, while Rodriguez has finished all seven of his previous opponents. This fight has fireworks written all over it.
