Max Holloway was been dethroned, and the Blessed Era is over, at least for now. Featherweight feels like a brand new weight class, but who should join it?
The featherweight division produced the biggest star the UFC (and MMA) has ever seen in Conor McGregor. It boasted one of the longest serving champs ever in Jose Aldo. And in Max Holloway, the division had one of the most respectable champs in history.
We’re in a new era now though, with Alexander Volkanovski at the top. Fresh blood is always a plus, so who should join the cast at 145lbs? We’ve got ten prospects singled out to join the UFC in 2020.
