#4. Yoel Romero
Despite the fact that Yoel Romero has lost 3 out of his last 4 fights, it in no way reflects his state in MMA and ability to compete. At 42 years old, Romero is still a beast inside the Octagon and will take out most Middleweights that come in front of him.
Trending
There has been speculation that UFC protected Israel Adesanya from Romero and all The Soldier of God needs is a couple of big wins to secure a title shot. Adesanya vs Romero seems like a fight that should inevitably happen at some point down the road. It will be a huge test for The Last Stylebender.

#3. Jared Cannonier
Jared Cannonier is the fastest-rising Middleweight behind Israel Adesanya. Following a huge knockout win over Jack Hermansson, Cannonier has jumped the ranks to #5 and is surely just a win away from securing a title shot.
In all likelihood, he'll have to wait it out or have one more major fight before a title shot, but a showdown between Adesanya and Cannonier seems inevitable. Hopefully, he gets another major victory and has a fight against the reigning Middleweight King.
