Assuming that he keeps winning, how far do you think Morales' is from a welterweight title shot, considering it seems pretty crowded right now at the top of the division?

How do you feel that JDM's title reign will go?

If the Paddy vs Oliveira fight is made, how do you think that fight plays out?

Can Lerone Murphy become UFC Featherweight Champion?

Samuel Tromans @samueljtromans.bsky.social · Mar 23

Also I would be curious Jed on your thoughts re Leon vs Masvidal - is now the best time to finally make this happen?

Samuel Tromans @samueljtromans.bsky.social · Mar 23

If Leon's stay at the top of the UFC is coming to an end, how does his legacy compare to Bispings? Which of them is the greater British UFC fighter?
