Tony Ferguson: 9 wins since October 2013, including 6 finishes, 7 bonus.
He won against one former champ in RDA, and against Landon Vanatta, who stepped in to replace Nurmagomedov
Khabib, with a W this week-end: 8 straight wins (in the UFC) since January 2012, 3 (or 4) finishes, no bonus (or 1 this week-end), missed weight once.
He also won against one former champ in RDA.
If I am UFC matchmaker, Tony Ferguson is the one to pick to face Alvarez-McGregor winner. The only positive thing for Khabib might be that he is somehow more sellable.

If Khabib does what Tony should have used his post-fight interview opportunity to do and call out the winner of that it would be a no-brainer I think. Gotta put yourself out there now these days cause the promoters aren't gonna do you justice these days
Conor's calling the shots. If he doesn't take a hiatus, I could see him choosing the third fight with Nate over Khabib or Tony. I think Khabib and Tony are going to have to fight each other either for number one contendership or an interim title if Conor takes off for a while.
I could even see Conor trying for the WW title before giving Tony or Khabib a shot.

The wrestlers would most likely manhandle him, but I think Wonderboy would be an appealing matchup for him.
If he's successful, he'd set a record that is unlikely to be achieved by anyone else. Plus it would be the biggest money fight for him, outside of fighting GSP or
Nick
Diaz.

Wonderboys way of dealing with range and his reach would be to much i think,a cant see conor taking this as i think wonderboy would really have his way with a smaller man

Horrible matchup that makes no sense.....Diego is unranked at 155 and Cerrone is top 10 fighting at 170, possibly looking to fight a title eliminator against Maia if he beats Kelvin.
