At UFC 251 on Fight Island, Petr Yan (14-1) will face Jose Aldo (28-6) for the vacant bantamweight title. This booking is the strangest of all three title fights on the stacked card. Aldo has no official wins in a division full of top contenders. If Yan wins the belt, he will have become a champion without fighting a top-five fighter in his division. If Aldo can win, he will be champion with a 1-1 record in his division. Either way it goes, the man with the belt will have to still prove he is the best bantamweight in the world.
