#2. No.11-ranked UFC welterweight Khamzat Chimaev
Khamzat Chimaev has quickly become a fan favorite in the UFC. The No.11-ranked welterweight is confident that he's superior to the rest of the division. What makes him unique is that he's bounced back and forth between middleweight and welterweight and still won with ease.

'Borz' has now committed himself to the welterweight division and could be on the fast track to a title shot. He will have an incredible opportunity next month when he fights former title challenger Gilbert Burns. If he wins, it wouldn't be a surprise if he receives the next title shot. Many wonder how he'll fare against the top-10 in the division, and fans will finally get their answer.

Chimaev has an unbeaten 10-0 MMA record and is yet to fight past the second round. Chimaev vs. Covington would be an intriguing bout because of their cardio and wrestling. It would be interesting to see who would get the upper hand in the scrambles.
#1. Former UFC interim lightweight champion Dustin Poirier
Covington let it be known that he wants to fight former interim UFC lightweight champion Dustin Poirier at 170lbs next. To say there's bad blood between 'Chaos' and American Top Team would be an understatement.
'The Diamond' has been open to moving up to 170lbs since his second title loss. However, the opponent he considered moving up for was Nate Diaz, who he's been linked to in the past. In the event that the bout doesn't take place, perhaps he would be open to a bout with the former interim welterweight champion.
Covington made things personal with his post-fight interview this past weekend. If the promotion ends up booking the fight, it could become a more heated leadup than the one he had with Masvidal. 'Chaos' continuing his rivalry with ATT could gain a lot more interest than if he fought the next best welterweight contender.
