#2. Jack Shore vs. Raphael Assuncao

Raphael Assuncao appears to be finally coming towards the end of his career, now on a four-fight losing streak despite maintaining his place as the No.15 ranked UFC bantamweight.

This would be a very logical fight for Jack Shore to lobby for, as Assuncao is an established name to many fans of the UFC but also very beatable for someone with Shore's skillset.

Assuncao is a wily veteran who would certainly test Shore in certain aspects of the game, but if Shore hopes to live up to the hype around his name, these are the tests he should be able to overcome.

#1. Jack Shore vs. Frankie 'The Answer' Edgar

Former lightweight champion Frankie Edgar has been competing in the UFC since 2007. He has fought in multiple weight classes and beaten some of the best in the world, including Anthony Pettis, BJ Penn, Charles Oliveira, Yair Rodriguez, and Pedro Munhoz.

Since moving to bantamweight, Edgar has gone 1-2, but maintains a No.11 ranking. Edgar's skillset is world class, and while his durability is clearly beginning to fail, he would still represent the toughest test Jack Shore has ever faced in his career till date.

A dominant performance or highlight-reel finish over 'The Answer' would elevate Jack Shore from an undefeated prospect to a legitimate 135 lb contender.
