Currently, the featherweight division is probably the clearest division in the UFC in terms of the next moves for its fighters.

The champion Alexander Volkanovski is going to defend his belt against The Korean Zombie in the next few months and the winner of that fight will likely fight Max Holloway next.

The contenders after that are Yair Rodriguez and Brian Ortega who are both coming off big losses.

Rodriguez lost via unanimous decision to Holloway several months ago and Ortega lost to Volkanovski at UFC 266 in one of the best fights of last year.

It is now being reported that the UFC is targeting a fight between the two contenders in the near future.

This fight is no doubt a smart fight to make and will be a banger of a fight as Rodriguez and Ortega are two of the most entertaining fighters in the UFC's featherweight division.

If the fight does get made for the near future, who do you think will come out on top?
