1 2 3 4 … 5 (ALSO SEE: Sean Shelby’s Shoes: What’s next for UFC 232’s winning fighters? ) It was disappointment for the five losing main card fighters at UFC 232, which took place Saturday at The Forum in Inglewood, Calif., and aired on pay-per-view. What were expected to be top competitive championship fights atop the card turned out to be lopsided, with Alexander Gustafsson (18-5 MMA, 10-5 UFC) failing to capture the UFC light heavyweight title against Jon Jones (23-1 MMA, 17-1 UFC) in the main event and Cris Cyborg (20-2 MMA, 5-1 UFC) losing her women’s featherweight title to Amanda Nunes (17-4 MMA, 10-1 UFC) in the co-headliner. Prior to that, Carlos Condit (30-13 MMA, 7-9 UFC) suffered his fifth consecutive defeat, Ilir Latifi (14-6 MMA, 7-4 UFC) experienced a setback in his title run at 205 pounds, and Chad Mendes (18-5 MMA, 9-5 UFC) lost to a non-champion for the first time in his MMA career. After every event, fans wonder whom the losing fighters will be matched up with next. And with another night of UFC action in the rearview mirror, it’s time to look forward, put on a pair of Sean Shelby and Mick Maynard’s shoes, and play UFC matchmaker for UFC 232’s losing fighters.
