4. Dan Hooker vs. Paul Felder

Could Felder vs. Hooker 2 be next for these men?

Hooker may have been the big loser from UFC 257 as his one-sided loss at Michael Chandler's hands certainly leaves him needing many victories to get back in the title picture. Felder, too, is some distance from the title despite losing little credibility in his defeat on five-days notice to Dos Anjos.

While these two have already fought before, it was a fascinating matchup with several feeling it should have been Felder, and not Hooker, who had his hands raised. In any case, the overwhelming majority of UFC fans would surely jump at the chance to see these two square off one more time. Despite losing last time out, these men are still ranked No. 8 and No. 9 in the division and are still far from an easy out. While this would likely be a make-or-break bout for both men, the winner would be well on his way to climbing back up the rankings to the title.
