#2. Jiri Prochazka vs. Glover Teixeira II - UFC Light Heavyweight Championship
While there had been some speculation as to against whom Jiri Prochazka's first title defense would be, Glover Teixeira now seems to have become the most likely option. This feels like the correct decision too given Teixeira was on course to defend his title for the majority of their last bout in what was an incredible contest.

Ultimately, Prochazka was able to pick up a late win in what was likely the fight of the year thus far. Running it back in Teixeira's home country in what could be his last fight would be a monumental occasion and it is the biggest title fight possible at 205lbs.
The bout itself would be incredibly interesting given just how close their first encounter was. Teixeira would only have had to make a few adjustments to have won that first bout but time isn't on his side and Prochakza is only going to get better.
#1. Amanda Nunes vs. Valentina Shevchenko III - UFC Women's Bantamweight Championship
Amanda Nunes is once again a two-division champion, having got her revenge over Julianna Peña on July 30. While she has indicated that she would like to defend her featherweight title next time out, there are virtually no options in that division. Instead, there is a dream fight to be made for her at 135 lbs.
Valentina Shevchenko is the current flyweight champion and while she may have lost her previous two fights with Nunes, could well be the favorite in a third bout. Many feel Shevchenko won the second bout between her and Nunes, and her dominant run at flyweight since has seen her prove herself as an elite performer.
A trilogy bout to determine the greatest female fighter of all time deserves to be treated as the mega-fight it is. Giving it top billing in the UFC's return to Nunes's home nation of Brazil is an appropriate stage. The fight being incredibly difficult to predict only takes it to another level.
