5 fights to make after UFC Fight Night: Blaydes vs. Daukaus

#2. Alexa Grasso vs. Manon Fiorot

Another fight made up of two victors from UFC Fight Night: Blaydes vs. Daukaus, Alexa Grasso taking on Manon Fiorot could well be a bout to decide the new top contender in the women's flyweight division.

Grasso featured as the card's co-main event, where she submitted veteran striker Joanne Wood via first round rear naked choke. Fiorot took on former title challenger Jennifer Maia in a fight that was criminally hidden on the preliminary card. She won via unanimous decision.

The majority of fighters at the top of the women's flyweight division are currently booked for fights already, and with Fiorot and Grasso taking minimal damage in their bouts last weekend, it makes perfect sense to pair them off with each other.

#1. Cutis Blaydes vs. Ciryl Gane

In the main event of the weekend card, Curtis Blaydes took on rising prospect Chris Daukaus. Many expected Blaydes to rely on his high-level wrestling to dominate the fight. However, 'Razor' flipped the script, knocking Daukaus out with a brutal right hand.

Blaydes then took to the microphone, calling out Ciryl Gane for an interim title fight. Whether an interim title needs to be involved is up to Dana White and the official matchmakers, but it is hard to argue that a fight between Gane and Blaydes would not make perfect sense.

Blaydes has only ever lost to two fighters in the UFC, Francis Ngannou and Derrick Lewis. Ciryl Gane has only one loss, to Ngannou. Blaydes arguably has the highest level wrestling in the heavyweight division, whilst Gane has an incredibly high fight IQ, with slick point style striking. It's an incredibly hard fight to call, and it's the perfect bout to make next.
