These fighters can bounce back faster and are less depleted, allowing them to perform at a high level throughout the fight. Additionally, fighters with exceptional head movement and striking skills, such as Kelvin Gastelum, can pose a serious threat to their opponents.

For instance, a triangle choke might look good from a distance, but a skilled eye is needed to determine if it's a legitimate threat. Fighters like Robert Whittaker and Leon Edwards have unique styles that can be challenging for opponents, and their past performances should be carefully considered when making matches. Additionally, the UFC could face challenges in securing top contenders for fights, especially if they have financial success and the temptation of retirement looms.
