Sterling is currently the bantamweight champion and a move up in weight might not be likely for him but is entirely possible.
Emmett is currently on a five-fight win streak and is the favorite to be the next challenger for the featherweight title.
'Triple C' will return to action later this year or early next year for sure. Although he might not get a title shot right away, a fight between him and Volkanovski is inevitable to say the least.
If the UFC is not able reach a deal with Oliveira for his next title defense, the UFC might just put Volkanovski up against Makhachev for the vacant UFC belt.
If Dana White feels the need to book a fight between Dariush and Makhachev once again, a super fight between Volkanovski and Oliveira for the vacant belt seems like the perfect idea.
