UFC Bantamweight Wishlist for 2018

The UFC’s bantamweight division is stacked with talent, but in the last two years, three men have been on top of that mountain. Between 2016 and 2017, the title changed hands three times – the first time coming in January of 2016 when Dominick Cruz defeated TJ Dillashaw by a split decision to become the champion. Cruz went on to defend the belt once, until December 30, 2016 at UFC 207, when he took on Cody Garbrandt. He lost that fight by a unanimous decision, making Garbrandt the new king of the division.
