UFC Fight Night: Dillashaw vs Cruz took place last night on 17th January 2016 from Boston. Overall it was a successful event for the UFC with some exciting fights and big finishes. However there was some controversial decisions, mainly in the main event and co-main event. This blog post will look at who some of the fighters from the event should compete against next.
Dominic Cruz and T.J. Dillashaw:
In the main event Dominic Cruz defeated T.J. Dillashaw via decision (split). The obvious next fight is to have both fighters compete in a rematch for the UFC Bantamweight title. The decision was contriversial and these two fighters are arguable the best two fighters in the division so it only makes sense if they fight again.
Eddie Alvarez and Anthony Pettis:
I would do the same as the main event and have these two fight in a rematch. Its been confirmed that Conor McGregor will fight against Rafael Dos Anjos for the UFC lightweight title, so Eddie Alvarez won't be fighting for the title any time soon. The decision to award the victory to Alvarez was again controversial and the winner in a rematch could easily fight the winner of the lightweight title fight.
Travis Browne:
I think Travis Browne should fight against Alistair Overeem in a rematch. Overeem has won his last three fights and would want to revenge the loss he suffered early on in his career. Browne wants to put a run of victories together so he can move closer to a heavyweight title opportunity and he will be confident of defeating Overeem again.
Matt Mitrione:
I think Matt Mitrione should fight against Antonio Silva next. Both men desperately need a win. Mitrione has lost his last two fights while Silva has lost three out of five. The loser of this fight will be released from the UFC.
