Winner: Kevin Vallejos
Who He Should Face Next: Jean Silva rematch

Vallejos continued his march toward a spot in the Top 10 with a blistering win over Emmett. And he made it look easy, barely breaking a sweat in his destruction over the long-time veteran. Things are looking up for the Argentinean, who has now won seven in a row, four straight inside the Octagon. The 145-pound division is going to be very busy in the next few months, so one man who sticks out is Silva. The two men do have history, colliding on Contender Series way back in in Sept. 2023, which resulted in Silva walking away with a unanimous decision win. Now that both men are in the big show and enjoying success, it could be the time to make it happen on the big stage. Silva is coming off a win over Arnold Allen, his first victory since losing to Diego Lopes in Sept. 2025.

Winner: Gillian Robertson
Who She Should Face Next: Suarez vs. Godinez winner

Robertson secured one of the biggest wins of her career, defeating Lemos — a former title contender — via unanimous decision. She should be looking at a Top 5 ranking, which means bigger fights await the long-time veteran. I would like to see her get paired up against the winner of the upcoming bout between Tatiana Suarez vs. Loopy Godinez, who are set to throw down next month at UFC 327. A win over either of those ladies could put Robertson in position to ask for a title shot.

Winner: Jose Delgado
Who He Should Face Next: Jordan Leavitt

Delgado managed to escape “Sin City” with a close split decision win over long-time veteran, Andre Fili, after a back-and-forth, 15-minute battle. In the end, the judges decided it was Delgado who had done enough to get the victory. As far as what could be next for him, a fight against Leavitt sounds interesting. Leavitt is currently on a two-fight win streak and was last seen defeating Yadier del Valle just last month. He has quietly gone 6-3 inside the Octagon, and a showdown against Delgado — who is 3-1 inside the Octagon — could produce fireworks.

Winner: Ion Cutelaba
Who He Should Face Next: Rodolfo Bellato

Cutelaba got back in the win column with a impressive first round submission win over Oumar Sy, tapping him with an impressive guillotine choke (see it again here). Once again, “The Hulk” showed he can have flashes of brilliance if he gets himself under control inside the cage. As far as what could be next for him, a fight against Bellato sounds interesting. Bellato is coming off a win himself, defeating Luke Fernandez via first round technical knockout at UFC 326 just last week (see it here).

Winner: Charles Johnson
Who He Should Face Next: Steve Erceg vs. Tim Elliott winner

Johnson got back on the winning track with a split decision win over Bruno Silva. Ranked No. 14 currently at 125 pounds, I wouldn’t mind seeing “Inner G” face off against the winner of the upcoming collision between Steve Erceg (No. 12) vs. Tim Elliott (No. 11), who are set to throw down on May 2, 2026, in Perth, Australia.
