5 biggest fights the UFC could put on today
The UFC and MMA, in general, are more popular today than ever before. The sport has become so successful due, in large part, to the fact that fans get to see the best and most popular fighters take on one another regularly. The UFC wants to put on the biggest fights possible and consistently does, meaning that the dream fights fans come up with are never too far from coming to fruition. The greater the interest in any one contest, the more money the promotion stands to make.
Today, there are a ton of big-time fights that we could soon see. Furthermore, two of the biggest stars in the sport's history, Conor McGregor and Jon Jones, appear likely to return to action before long, only adding to the options when it comes to huge PPV fights we could soon see.

Here are the five biggest fights the UFC could put on today:
#5. Kamaru Usman vs. Khamzat Chimaev - UFC welterweight division
Kamaru Usman has become one of the biggest stars in the sport, having gone through multiple battles with both Jorge Masvidal and Colby Covington. However, he may not have faced an opponent with much momentum as the surging Khamzat Chimaev.

Both men are undefeated in the UFC, and Chimaev has been on a rocket ship up the rankings since his debut. Chimaev’s dominant performances, entertaining personality, and recent friendship with the popular Darren Till have made him the fastest rising star on the roster.
Seeing the number one fighter in the world against the most impressive prospect we’ve ever seen would create a huge fight. While Usman and Chimaev are still only on the verge of becoming popular mainstream names, their fight could be one of the highest-skilled matchups MMA has ever seen.
