#2. Former UFC title challenger Thiago Santos
Trending
No.6-ranked UFC light heavyweight Thiago Santos is at a crossroads in his MMA career. The former title challenger has lost four out of his last five bouts and has returned from career-threatening injuries. It would've been understandable if he retired from the sport following his title loss to Jon Jones. But he suffered significant injuries to both legs and was out of action for over a year.
Since returning to the octagon, it seems as though Santos has had to adjust his fighting style. He managed to snap his three-fight losing streak by defeating Johnny Walker last October, but lost his next bout against Magomed Ankolaev. He's scheduled to return to the octagon in August when he fights No.10-ranked light heavyweight Jamahal Hill.

'Marreta' will need to go on a winning streak before earning another title shot, so a bout with Reyes is logical. If he loses to Hill, his ranking will still be close enough to 'The Devastator' for the bout to be possible.
#1. Former UFC light heavyweight champion Glover Teixeira
Former UFC light heavyweight champion Glover Teixeira has defied the odds throughout his career. He defeated Jan Blachowicz to become the second oldest fighter to win a title in the promotion. Despite being 42 years old, he continues to remain competitive with the best in the world.
Teixeira is coming off a title loss to Jiri Prochazka in a bout that exceeded expectations. He caught 'Desina' a few times and could have arguably won the fight if he hadn't attempted a submission in the last round. Prior to the loss, Teixeira won six straight fights that included three finishes and two Performance of the Night bonuses.
The fight is logical because both are coming off losses to Prochazka and a decisive win could earn them a rematch. It would be interesting to see what would transpire if they competed in the octagon. Teixeira could still hold his own and the extra time off could see Reyes return to form.
