I'd give Garry Colby. He wants it and I'd like to see him "retire" Colby. 

Might help Garry rehab his image a bit too, Colby is probably one of the few fighters hated on more right now.

Poirier keeps saying he wants the title, that fight doesnt do anything to help get there 

It makes him a lot of money though, and is an easy enough opponent to give him a free dub as he waits to potentially fight for the belt. Realistically, what is he going to do? I don't see him fighting anyone else in the Top 5 or taking on another young threat like BSD.

If Gaethje beats Max and Olives beats Armen, then you have to book Justin v Islam

If Charles beats Armen, it should be Charles. Gaethje and Poirier are stale and are 0-2 in title fights. Charles just ended Dariush's career and if he beats Armen, he's number one easily

Olives already lost to Islam tho. I get it, stylistically he has a better chance but i bet the UFC wants a different guy. Islams last 4 title shots/defenses cant be against the same 2 guys

Depends on who gets the LW shot, if Gaethje does, hopefully Armen beats Olives and the DP can fight Armen

Those 2 guys have had the best chance to win. Gaethje and Poirier again have gotten their @$$es handed to them in every title fight and are terrible stylistic matchups.

Do you think he would? If he gets the feeling by waiting he'll be next up at some point without having to take the risk of fighting Armen?

I understand all of that...but worse fights have been made like Colby/Leon

And as we saw from the Izzy/Strickland matchup, sometimes availability is the biggest factor. Gaethje/Max and Armen/Olives are booked. Islam hasnt fought in 5 months and isnt on the next 2 PPV cards. He needs a dance partner

I just want Islam to lose because that division needs to fight more than once a year
