John Dodson has looked phenomenal in his recent UFC fights. As the smallest bantamweight during The Ultimate Fighter 14, he should assert his superiority by winning the entire season.
After dropping to flyweight following the match, he quickly asserted himself as the No. 1 contender and got his title shot at UFC on Fox 6 on Saturday.

Flyweight is probably the thinnest division in the UFC and it won’t be long before Dodson is back in the running for a title shot. And that is largely due to a lack of opponents for title-holder Johnson, who is coming close to cleaning out the division.
As the champion waits to find out who his next opponents will be, here are five potential fights for Dodson to take next.
