Matches to make after UFC Vegas 117

The Ultimate Fighting Championship continued its busy May with its latest card from the Meta Apex. Main eventing UFC Vegas 117 was an exciting featherweight contender fight between Arnold Allen and Melquizael Costa . The 13-fight card also featured key bouts that will impact the bantamweight and light heavyweight divisions going forward.

Here are the matches to make for the top five UFC Vegas 117 winners. Arnold Allen vs. Lerone Murphy Allen (21-4) got back into the win column by showing Costa (27-7) that there are levels to mixed martial arts.

With the win,"Almighty" is now 2-1 in his last three fights and there’s no denying he’s a contender despite recent losses to Jean Silva , Movsar Evloev and Max Holloway . I’d like to see the English fighter take on his fellow countryman next in Murphy. “The Iceman” came up short in a title eliminator to Movsar Evloev but had won nine straight UFC fights prior to the loss.

Whoever emerges victorious will be in a great spot and just a few fights away from another opportunity to earn a 145-pound title shot. Related » UFC Vegas 117 ‘Allen vs. Costa’ round-by-round scoring Doo Ho Choi vs.
