1-Dustin Poirier vs Charles Olivera - Title Match
2-Justin Gaethje vs Michael Chandler - winner is next up for Title Shot
3-Tony Ferguson vs Nate Diaz - for the real BMF champ and a crowd pleaser
4-Rafael Dos Anjos vs Connor McGregor - now is the perfect time for this to happen
5-Islam Makhachev vs Kevin lee- lets see if that helmet can stop the momentum!
What do you guys think? Would these matchups along with the ones already scheduled give us a clear picture in the 155 division? Drop the matchups you think are better or would like to see.

I like your picks, goes against what Dana said but he was probably lying.
Mike needs someone to actually fight him to earn a title shot.

Yeah I'd like to see Chandler get in there with someone who will test his chin a bit and see if he can beat a top 5 guy to earn that title shot. Also I think Poirier and Olivera have put in the work recently to earn the shot.

I think @Kevin Randleman is the only guy who seriously thinks Michael Chandler deserves a title shot so soon lol! I think Tony Ferguson would be an interesting test for Chandler. I have absolutely no idea who I'd pick for that one if Ferguson's last performance is anything to go by but he's still a top level fighter.

@Stephen Terry
lol about Randleman, I'm with you I like the way that matchup sounds. I'm a big Ferguson fan like most and these last 2 L's have come at the hands of 2 elite 155 guys. The rumblings have begun about him being on his way down what better way to quiet the noise!
