How would you matchmake the lightweight top five after UFC 329? 👀

Paddy Pimblett 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 has risen 4 spots following his submission over Benoit Saint-Denis.

I'd book Justin vs Max for the title. Their last fight was an all-time great and with Max holding that recent knockout win over Justin it makes sense that Justin would want to get that one back. Then I'd do Paddy vs Ilia. That fight sells itself and they both have recent losses to Justin. Then that leaves Arman and Charles.

This is actually quite hard to book IMO. With Justin and Max not wanting to fight until 2027, could do Arman vs Charles 2 and Paddy vs Ilia depending on when Topuria is back. It's difficult to see what is next for Max after the Charles loss and the weird McGregor win.
