#2. Brandon Moreno and UFC flyweight champion Deiveson Figueiredo
Trending
There’s no doubt that Brandon Moreno vs. Deiveson Figueiredo is one of the greatest trilogies in UFC history. The flyweights have competed in three all-time classics, with each earning a win after their first encounter ended in a draw.
The promotion can capitalize on the rivalry by having them coach TUF prior to a fourth bout.

Moreno is scheduled to fight Kai-Kara France for the interim title on July 30. And so, the promotion could add another chapter to the rivalry through TUF.
Perhaps they could even coach another season of TUF: Latin America. If the promotion features flyweights, it could also create more stars and add depth to the division.
Their careers will forever be linked, so a coaching stint on TUF would be logical. It wouldn't be far fetched if they coach flyweights while also competing in the division.
In fact, 'The Assassin Baby' got his start in the promotion by competing on TUF: Tournament of Champions. Despite the winner earning a flyweight title shot, the coaches were then flyweight contenders Joseph Benavidez and Henry Cejudo.
#1. Tony Ferguson and UFC Hall of Famer Khabib Nurmagomedov
Tony Ferguson vs. former UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov is arguably the biggest what-if in the promotion's history. The bout was booked and canceled on numerous occasions, which left fans wondering who would win.
It wasn't meant to be as Ferguson lost an interim title fight to Justin Gaethje, while Nurmagomedov retired after submitting Gaethje.
There has been talk of a TUF season between the two after 'El Cucuy' expressed his desire to compete with 'The Eagle.' He mentioned that he respected Nurmagomedov's decision to retire following the passing of his father.
Although they're not fighting, it's still possible for the two lightweight greats to serve as opposing coaches on TUF.
Season 22 was a great example as Urijah Faber and Conor McGregor served as the coaches but were never booked to fight. But the promotion would have more success with 'El Cucuy' and 'The Eagle' because there is already a long rivalry built-in.
Ferguson and Nurmagomedov being competitive with each other could add more significance to every bout of the season.
