But with a much improved Ngannou, who has developed a lethal finishing style, the rematch has to happen in 2021. It will be interesting to see how the fight goes this time around.

2. Colby Covington vs Jorge Masvidal

The fight between the two former best friends has long been in the making now. With the two welterweights eyeing another shot at the title, this fight is a must-do for 2021.
