Matches to Make for Winners and Losers from UFC 242

It is time to play matchmaker once again. UFC 242 saw the most dominant champion in the sport successfully defend his lightweight strap at The Arena on Yas Island in Abu Dhabi.

Khabib Nurmagomedov had to survive a guillotine choke, but that was pretty much all Dustin Poirier had to offer the champion. It was another mauling. Is Tony Ferguson next? Or is the possible Conor McGregor rematch still on the table?

Where does Poirier go from here? And what about the lightweight co-main event between Paul Felder and Edson Barboza? How does that impact the division?
