#4. T.J. Dillashaw
Although he's eyeing a fight against Aljamain Sterling to recapture bantamweight gold and become a three-time world champion, Dillashaw would most likely hop on the opportunity to have another go at Cejudo.

When they first met, Dillashaw had just put the nail in the coffin of his rivalry against Cody Garbrandt when he finished him for the second time. 'Triple C' was riding the biggest win of his life against one of the best fighters to ever compete in the organization, Demetrious Johnson. Following this victory, Dillashaw moved to flyweight to gain champ-champ status.
This bout only lasted 32 seconds. Henry Cejudo proved to be too strong and too fast. After the fight, Dillashaw tested positive for a banned substance and was suspended for two years and stripped of his bantamweight title. Before his suspension, Dillashaw was adamant about getting the Henry Cejudo rematch as he thought it to be an early stoppage on the referee's part.
Should Aljamain Sterling take a fight that doesn't include Dillashaw or Cejudo, this will be the perfect fight to make for the number one contender spot.
#3. Max Holloway
Max Holloway is about as much of a "people's champ" as the UFC has. Following two close fights with the current champion Alexander Volkanovski, 'Blessed' has been relegated to contender status. This doesn't bother him much, for he's still young and is collecting wins. Furthermore, many believe that he should've walked away with the belt in the Volkanovski rematch.
The Hawaiian has since won two incredible fights and was granted a third fight against Volkanovski but was forced to withdraw due to injury. This is the next best option should 'Triple C' take a fight that isn't for a title.
Holloway still holds a championship aura with him and has been sitting on the cusp of a title shot since his career-best performance against Calvin Kattar. In order to evolve from 'Triple C' to 'C-4', Henry Cejudo would need to capture a fourth title, and 'Blessed' is the best path to featherweight gold outside of the champion.
