20 fights on our MMA wishlist for 2020

Here are 20 fights MMA Junkie hopes to see happen in 2020.

4. [autotag]Amanda Nunes[/autotag] vs. [autotag]Valentina Shevchenko[/autotag] 3

Amanda Nunes is the G.O.A.T. and she’s looked unstoppable for the last few years. The only person to challenge that statement was Valentina Shevchenko – who’s now flyweight champion.

Although Shevchenko lost both bouts against Nunes, it’s undeniable she fared well. Some even believe she did enough to beat Nunes in both fights. Either way, they were good, competitive, world-class bouts.

It’s tough to create doubt in an Amanda Nunes fight, but if anyone can do that it’s Shevchenko. She’s won four fights in a row since losing to Nunes in 2017 and she’s picked up the 125-pound title, becoming one of the most dominant looking champions in the UFC.

This would be a huge champ-champ vs. champ fight.

3. [autotag]Stipe Miocic[/autotag] vs. [autotag]Daniel Cormier[/autotag] 3

Much like the Adesanya-Romero bout, Stipe Miocic vs. Daniel Cormier 3 is a fight that’s expected to go down in 2020, but has yet to be booked.

The first fight was an historic bout as Cormier became double champion and defeated the most successful heavyweight in the promotion’s history. The second one was one of the most exciting heavyweight title fights in the UFC, and also was one of the greatest comebacks in the division in recent memory.

So let’s get the trilogy fight going. It makes sense for both fighters. The score needs to be settled, and because the nature of both fights, there’s still major doubt on who’s really the baddest man on the planet.
