5 incredible UFC vs. Bellator fights we'd like to see

#4. Stephen Thompson (UFC) vs. Michael Page (Bellator)

Perennial UFC welterweight contender Stephen Thompson is a fan favorite and for good reason. His karate style is a treat to watch, and he's a tricky matchup for any fighter he goes up against.

His opponents often struggle to close the distance against him and tend to get picked apart if they're overzealous. To top it all off, 'Wonderboy' has serious fight-ending power, as is evident in his incredible highlight reel in the UFC.

Thompson has struggled against fighters who have adopted a wrestling-heavy approach in recent times and the blueprint to beat him has been laid out. Most fans would rather see him get matched up with fellow strikers, which allows 'Wonderboy' the freedom to be himself and truly show off his world-class striking.

'MVP' has a huge following, largely thanks to his in-cage antics and unique brand of striking. The enigmatic Brit boasts an excellent professional record of 20-1, comprising 12 knockouts. Notably, he has avenged the lone blemish on his record and has now beaten every fighter he's faced.

#3. Kamaru Usman (UFC) vs. Yaroslav Amosov (Bellator)

Kamaru Usman, the reigning UFC welterweight champion, is arguably the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world right now. 'The Nigerian Nightmare' is unbeaten since 2013 and since joining the UFC, has developed into a truly well-rounded mixed martial artist.

Usman's wrestling prowess carried him all the way to the UFC welterweight title, which he won in 2019. Since then, under the guidance of legendary striking coach Trevor Wittman, his stand-up game has improved tremendously. His KO/TKO wins over Colby Covington, Gilbert Burns and Jorge Masvidal showed that it's going to take a really special fighter to dethrone the reigning 170-pound kingpin.

Watch Kamaru Usman's incredible championship run in the UFC below:

First and foremost, if there is a fighter out there who can beat Kamaru Usman, he would need to match the Nigerian-born American's wrestling pedigree. Enter Bellator welterweight champion Yaroslav Amosov.

Amosov boasts a perfect professional record of 26-0, comprising nine knockouts and ten submissions. Like Usman, the 28-year-old Ukrainian has enjoyed a rampant rise up the ranks to become a world champion, and looks set to reign over Bellator's 170-pound division for a long time to come.
