2014 has been a chaotic year for the Ultimate Fighting Championship. Nearly every event the UFC has put on has been in one way or another impacted by injury. The end of the year is shaping up nicely though, as is the first quarter of 2015.
At The Ultimate Fighter 20 Finale on December 12, we will see the crowning of the inaugural women’s strawweight champion and the unofficial launch of the UFC’s newest division. Over the next three months, we’ll (hopefully) get to witness eight UFC title fights, as well as the Anderson Silva vs. Nick Diaz superfight.
As the UFC gears up to unveil its schedule for 2015, now is the perfect time to look at each division and zero in on one fight that would be just fun to watch.
Most of the fighters occupy spots on the UFC.com Top 15 rankings, but for a few matchups, I strayed a bit outside the top of the heap to find intriguing matches.
The only real criteria I used when deciding these fights was that as of this writing, these fighters are not currently matched up with anyone.
Let’s take a look at one fight in every division (sans women’s strawweight) that the UFC should book right now.
