Burns I guess is now the #1 contender bec he defeated Woodley but that doesn't really mean much imo. Usman would crush him.
Usman and Masvidal are the two best fighters in the divison. They're in a league of their own.

Great card and did exactly what Dana wanted. Great boost for O'Malley, Sterling and Garbrandt. Dana is a happy man. I do wonder if it wouldn't have been easier for him if Nunes lost instead though ... like who else is there for her to fight? He says "there's always someone" but there really isn't at 145.

Usman vs. Burns
Volkanovski vs. Holloway
Peter Yan vs. Aldo
Jessica Andrade vs. Rose Namajunas
Ribas vs. VanZant
That's a BIG main card.
Masvidal kinda missed the boat and burns struck while the iron is hot. I imagine if Burns where to win Madvidal would suddenly want the title fight.
There may be something else brewing behind the scenes for a union of some sort of strong arm as n conor, jones, Jorge and Ceju are all "retiring" or publicly talking about poor payTo be the champs you got to beat the champs

Thats a hell of a card. All the title fights have a chance for either dude to win.

While it's obviously good for the fighters, unless you get everyone it's tough, and I think alot of fighters are juuust selfish enough (or desperate enough) where Dana can just negotiate with a few individuals and kill the whole endeavour.

Usman ripped Nate Diaz on twitter today. Nate Diaz is the one UFC fighter that makes no sense whatsoever. There's confidence and then there's delusion. Dude talks like he's the GOAT or one of the GOAT. He's 20-12. If you watch his fights, he's ALWAYS gassed after the 1st round. He's just a tough dude who fights like a street fighter. And just because you're tough doesn't mean you're great. He's the Ricardo Mayorga of the UFC.Mamba Mentality

Ya, wouldn't be the first time there has been talk of a Fighters Union - Randy Couture and GSP each both tried to start one and they went no where.

having all the big names is a pretty big step if that is indeed whats happening. They get Izzy & Usman onboard and D.C and Stipe are about to retire who does the UFC have left to headline big cards?

I take Izzy as a company man. I don't know if he would if Dana offered a little extra on top. Honestly, it's amazing that Dana has avoided it for this long. Not sure what voodoo he is working.
I don't think much changes until the Ali Act gets amended to include MMA fighters, then, you will likely see the boxing promoters get in on the game and everything will change.
