Holloway vs Edgar The fight that was suppose to happen. If you think Swanson can beat Holloway Shame on you. Swanson's beat Lobov, Korean Superboy, The Crusher and Dias. 2 of those guys aren't even in the UFC anymore and Lobov shouldn't be either. But I'll be surprised to see Swanson not get choked out by Ortega.

I agree with @DetroitSuperstar Holloway only has 1-2 more fights at Featherweight. 1 needs to be Frankie. Cub has proven he can't beat the top-tier guys time after time after time. In fact, I see Cub leaving the UFC & testing free-agency once he realizes he'll never get that shot.

We've seen Holloway vs. Swanson. It wasn't competitive at all. Swanson should only get a shot if all other options have been exhausted.

I dont see Swamson beating Holloway, but I see Ortega beating Swamson and being the biggest challenge to Holloway.

Ortega is an X factor right now so who knows.

The reason I'm high on the Holloway/Edgar fight is Edgar is the only one with a win over Max in the division. Plus Frankie doesn't fade like Max's other opponents so it should be competitive if anything.

Ortega is a big x factor. Dude cannot win a Round over anybody but he also doesn't lose fights. I actually think Ortega is gonna get beat up for a couple Rounds against Cub and then submit him.

@DetroitSuperstar Max and Frankie never fought. You're probably thinking of Dennis Bermudez. Either way, Holloway vs. Edgar is the most intriguing fight that's realistic.

I don't think Ortega will make it too much farther with literally no wrestling,****** stand up and horrible gameplans.He could sub Cub and get a title shot,but I think Cub exposes him and picks him apart.

Edgar did fight Cub. I used to get Cub and Max mixed up.

I do t think Ortega gets past Cub, unless he catches him in a sloppy transition or getting lazy.

I don’t think Ortega or Cub stand more than a Hail Mary chance vs Edgar or Max.

That said, if Edgar isn’t ready, Ortega/Cub winner should probably get the next shot.
