Jeremy Stephens became the first two-time UFC main event winner this year on Saturday when he emerged on top at UFC on FOX 28, which took place at Amway Center in Orlando, Fla., with a main card that aired on FOX.

Stephens (28-14 MMA, 15-13 UFC) produced yet another crushing knockout for his highlight reel when he put Josh Emmett (13-2 MMA, 4-2 UFC) out cold in devastating fashion in the matchup of featherweight contenders.

“Lil’ Heathen” wasn’t the only one to get a huge win on the night, though. Jessica Andrade (18-6 MMA, 9-4 UFC), Ilir Latifi (14-5 MMA, 7-3 UFC) and Max Griffin (14-4 MMA, 2-2 UFC) all earned seminal wins for their individual careers.

After every event, fans wonder whom the winners 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 on FOX 28’s winning fighters.

Max Griffin

Alex Garcia

Should fight: Alex Garcia
Why they should fight: Griffin did not pay attention to oddsmakers who listed him as the biggest underdog on the card. He came out against Mike Perry and had his way for the majority of 15 minutes, taking a unanimous decision on the cards.

The bout was another example of Griffin shining when he’s on his feet. The problem for him historically, though, has been in the grappling department. If he wants to go anywhere at welterweight, the ability to stifle fighters who want the fight on the floor is an essential skill to have.

Garcia (15-4 MMA, 4-3 UFC) has just as many knockouts as submissions on his record, but the majority of his career success has stemmed from wrestling and controlling his opponents. If Griffin could stifle that, it would reveal a lot about his true talent level.

Ilir Latifi

Volkan Oezdemir

Should fight: Volkan Oezdemir
Why they should fight: Latifi scored arguably the biggest when of his career when he rattled Ovince Saint Preux with big punches before choking him out cold inside the first round of their light-heavyweight bout.

After the win, Latifi called out UFC champ Daniel Cormier, who was sitting cageside calling the fights. “DC” seemed awfully amused by the situation, but right now the 205-pound king has bigger things to focus on than Latifi. That doesn’t mean Latifi isn’t a contender, but if he’s hoping for a title shot, the timing is all wrong right now.

Latifi isn’t necessarily super far off, though. “The Sledgehammer” has won five of his past six, and if he can get another big win, he’d be in a strong position. A bout with former title challenger Oezdemir (15-2 MMA, 3-1 UFC), who is coming off a title-fight loss to Cormier at UFC 220 in January, could help elevate Latifi into the No. 1 contender position.

Jessica Andrade

Joanna Jedrzejczyk and Jessica Andrade

Should fight: Winner of Rose Namajunas vs. Joanna Jedrzejczyk at UFC 223
Why they should fight: Andrade wiped out another strawweight contender on her quest to UFC gold when she outworked and ultimately outpointed Tecia Torres for a unanimous decision win.

It was an impressive and competitive fight, but Andrade was always one step ahead, and she was rewarded for it. The Brazilian has been nothing short of brilliant since moving to the 115-pound division, and given her back-to-back wins over Torres and Claudia Gadelha, a second UFC title shot is deserved.

Andrade challenged then-champ Jedrzejczyk (14-1 MMA, 8-1 UFC) for the title at UFC 211 in May, but she lost a rather one-sided decision. Jedrzejczyk dropped the strap to Namajunas (7-3 MMA, 5-2 UFC) in November, forcing a landscape shift in the division. The pair will rematch at UFC 223 on April 7, and it’s likely Andrade will be Namajunas’ biggest fan on that night.

Jeremy Stephens

Should fight: Jose Aldo
Why they should fight: Watch the video above to see why Stephens should fight Aldo (26-4 MMA, 8-3 UFC) next.
