#2. Zabit Magomedsharipov vs. Yair Rodriguez
Recent MMA retiree Zabit Magomedsharipov was one of the featherweight division's most skilled fighters. With a flashy and exciting style, many fans were eager to see him paired up with fellow flashy kicker Yair Rodriguez. The bout was scheduled twice but never came to fruition due to Rodriguez pulling out both times due to injury.

The fate of the exciting matchup was one that Zabit was incensed over, going so far as to insinuate that Rodriguez was deliberately avoiding the bout. While Zabit has since retired, his 14-fight win streak has etched his name into UFC featherweight history as a legend of the division. Perhaps a long-desired bout with Rodriguez might convince Zabit to briefly question his decision to pursue medicine over mixed martial arts.

#1. Khabib Nurmagomedov vs. Georges St-Pierre
No recent hypothetical matchup has captured the imagination of UFC fans more than a potential bout between undefeated lightweight phenom Khabib Nurmagomedov and arguably the greatest MMA fighter of all time in Georges St-Pierre. Both fighters are retired, and both have expressed a serious interest in facing each other.
St-Pierre was hoping to challenge Khabib for the lightweight title in his quest to become the UFC's first three-division champion. Khabib, on the other hand, hoped to face St-Pierre as he once claimed the Canadian legend was his late father's favorite UFC fighter and that it was his dream for Khabib to compete against St-Pierre at some point. While the fight never came to fruition and both fighters have since settled into their respective retirements, there is no doubt that a serious offer for the matchup might convince either one of them to consider a return to the octagon.
