#2. Aljamain Sterling
A win is a win, no matter how controversial it may be. The MMA community is torn in half when debating the rematch between Sterling and Yan. The split decision saw Sterling retain the belt he initially captured via disqualification.

Regardless, Sterling is the champ, and a third fight against Yan is hard to book right away. Although Dillashaw is looming over the bantamweight division right now, Henry Cejudo could very well jump the line and take the title shot from him.
With his accolades and the attention he brings, 'Triple C' scoring the title shot after his two-year retirement wouldn't be a terrible move. Sterling would benefit from this fight, too, for a win over the Olympian would be an excellent addition to his record.
#1. Alexander Volkanovski
Alexander 'The Great' Volkanovski is the reigning featherweight champion and is undefeated since joining the UFC. Having just dismantled 'The Korean Zombie' in what could be his most dominating performance, Volkanovski needs some new challengers.
Max Holloway deserves a third Volkanovski fight, but the sport is riddled with unexpected events and unforeseen variables that often get in the way of a fight. Should Holloway not be next, then Henry Cejudo could return in hopes of becoming the UFC's first-ever three-division champion.
Cejudo was a large part of Chan Sung Jung's camp as the Korean attempted to dethrone 'The Great' and has been calling for a bout against the Australian for some time now. It's safe to assume that 'Triple C' has been studying the Australian's style for a fair amount of time.
Volkanovski, however, has dismissed Cejudo for lacking featherweight merit. Perhaps not accomplished in the division, but he's arguably the most accomplished combat sports athlete in the world. While Dana White has insisted that Henry Cejudo is retired, it wouldn't be outlandish to assume that we may see him in a title fight if it generates enough excitement amongst fans.
