#4. Kai Kara-France - UFC flyweight contender
Kai Kara-France had a legitimate case for a UFC flyweight title shot. It was widely understood that had Cody Garbrandt beaten him at UFC 269, 'No Love' would have been granted the next shot at the belt. Kara-France put a stop to that plan, knocking him out in the first round of the bout.

Rather than hand over the championship opportunity to Kara-France in place of Garbrandt, he has instead been booked in a title eliminator against undefeated Russian Askar Askarov. While that is a very tough assignment, should 'Don't Blink' pick up a win in that one, he would rubber stamp his place in a fight for the title.

Despite this new hurdle, Kara-France remains a threat to any flyweight given the punching power he holds at 125 lbs. While he has lost to current champion Brandon Moreno in the past, a rematch for the title would give him five rounds to land one of his big right hands which can change the course of any fight.
#3. Joanna Jedrzejczyk - Former UFC strawweight champion
While Joanna Jedrzejczyk is not currently ranked in the UFC strawweight division, she is another fighter who will never be too far from her next title shot. Arguably one of the greatest at 115 lbs, the Polish fighter would likely only need one victory before she'd be back in the title picture.
Jedrzejczyk's absence from the rankings is only due to inactivity, not any drop off form. Her most recent bout with Zhang Weili proved she still has plenty of fight left. Should the pair run that fight back and Jedrzejczyk be victorious, few could deny her another shot at the belt she held for so long.
Another factor to consider here is that she holds wins over top contenders Carla Esparza and Jessica Andrade. Should either of those fighters win the belt from current champion Rose Namajunas, Jedrzejczyk's road to the title becomes even more manageable.
