Jiri Prochazka

[{ "selector": ".nixqa-animate", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "opacity": 0}, {"offset": 1, "opacity": 1} ] }, { "selector": ".efaem-animate", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "opacity": 0}, {"offset": 1, "opacity": 1} ] }]

Prochazka is currently the first pick as the title challenger as he holds the second position in the UFC light heavyweight rankings. [{ "selector": ".avram-animate", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(100%)", "opacity": 1}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(Infinity%)", "opacity": 1} ] }]

Aleksandar Rakic

[{ "selector": ".gbsou-animate", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "opacity": 0}, {"offset": 1, "opacity": 1} ] }, { "selector": ".dfloa-animate", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "opacity": 0}, {"offset": 1, "opacity": 1} ] }]

Rakic currently sits at the #3 position in the UFC light heavyweight rankings. It won't be a walk in the park for Teixeira if this fight ever comes to fruition. [{ "selector": ".yehyk-animate", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(100%)", "opacity": 1}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(Infinity%)", "opacity": 1} ] }]

Anthony Smith

[{ "selector": ".pbxkg-animate", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "opacity": 0}, {"offset": 1, "opacity": 1} ] }, { "selector": ".puczj-animate", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "opacity": 0}, {"offset": 1, "opacity": 1} ] }]

Anthony Smith currently holds the fourth position in the UFC light heavyweight rankings. Furthermore, Smith would not miss the opportunity to avenge his loss against Teixeira. [{ "selector": ".oizql-animate", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(100%)", "opacity": 1}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(Infinity%)", "opacity": 1} ] }]

Israel Adesanya

[{ "selector": ".jovhw-animate", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "opacity": 0}, {"offset": 1, "opacity": 1} ] }, { "selector": ".sjyim-animate", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "opacity": 0}, {"offset": 1, "opacity": 1} ] }]

The current UFC middleweight champion, Israel Adesanya, wouldn't mind taking a second shot to become a UFC two-division champion. [{ "selector": ".vyepq-animate", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(100%)", "opacity": 1}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(Infinity%)", "opacity": 1} ] }]

Jan Blachowicz

[{ "selector": ".riwtt-animate", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "opacity": 0}, {"offset": 1, "opacity": 1} ] }, { "selector": ".hvwsm-animate", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "opacity": 0}, {"offset": 1, "opacity": 1} ] }]

It won't be surprising if the UFC gives Blachowicz a second title shot in a rematch. [{ "selector": ".nhqpy-animate", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(100%)", "opacity": 1}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(Infinity%)", "opacity": 1} ] }]
