The king of “Polish Power” isn’t done dealing out punishment, though, and he looks to bounce back from a disappointing result at UFC 282 en route to reclaiming the throne.
Marvin Vettori
“The Italian Dream” continues to rack up wins inside the Octagon and fight off contenders looking to make a name off him.
Vettori is lined up to face Jared Cannonier in a main event on June 17 that will have major implications for the middleweight division.
Brian Ortega
The featherweight division is more fun when Brian Ortega is competing. “T-City” has that star power that glues eyeballs to the TV and the skill set to put the best featherweights on the planet to the test.
Unfortunately, the last time we saw Ortega was when he suffered an injury that put an end to his July 2022 bout with Yair Rodriguez. Hopefully, Ortega returns in 2023 healthy and better than ever because only exciting fights await him when he does.
Cory Sandhagen
Cory Sandhagen’s UFC resume is bonkers. He’s fought his way through the shark tank that is the bantamweight division and is in a very interesting spot following his win over Marlon “Chito” Vera in March.
Regardless of who he’s matched up with next (Merab Dvalishvili, Henry Cejudo?) it’s clear that Sandhagen is on a short list of fighters close to a shot at the bantamweight title.
Shavkat Rahkmonov
The welterweight division is packed with absolute monsters and one of them is Shavkat Rahkmonov.
Rahkmonov has been steadily climbing the ranks, taking fights with whoever will accept them, and carrying his incredible undefeated record of 17 wins with 17 finishes into whatever comes next.
