michael bisping black and whteAfter an absolutely insane night full of fights at UFC 199 on Saturday, there are plenty of interesting matches to make. Here is who some of the main fighters from UFC 199 should fight next.

Michael Bisping- Should fight- Ronaldo Souza

The NEW UFC Middleweight champion of the world, Michael “The Count” Bisping! That feels even weird to type. Bisping pulled off one of the biggest upsets of the year by KO’ing then current champ, Luke Rockhold, in just one round. After this great upset, the show must go on, and many people may be screaming for a rematch, but I don’t see it that way, this was Rockhold’s first title defense after claiming it at UFC 194 against Chris Weidman. “The Count” should face Ronaldo “Jacare” Souza in his first defense. Souza is coming off an obliteration of Vitor Belfort.

Dominick Cruz- Should fight- Winner of Dillashaw and Assuncao II

After coming off a complete domination of Uriah Faber, it’s time for Dominick Cruz to take on a list of potential contenders. With that said, the man to challenge “the Dominator” should be the winner of Dillashaw and Assuncao. If Dillashaw wins, it gives him the opportunity to fight against Cruz in which was one of the closest fights of the year, with opinions of who won going back and forth. If Assuncao beats Dillashaw again, that just shows even after his long absence, he is still a top contender.

Max Holloway- Should fight- For the belt (Read Below)

Max Holloway is in a very tough spot. At UFC 200, there is a featherweight belt on the line, sadly for Holloway it is only interim. The real champ, Conor McGregor, is facing Nick Diaz in a rematch at UFC 202, potentially meaning the interim belt holder would face McGregor around UFC 205. However, there is speculation if McGregor will ever return to featherweight. For Holloway, this would give him the title shot he deserves. If Conor does plan on dropping back down however, Holloway may be forced to take another fight. If he does wait however, we could potentially see Holloway VS McGregor II, or VS the winner of Aldo and Edgar II.
