Anshul Jubli - Lightweight - TKO - 19 seconds of the first roundBiggest Takeaways From UFC 312The only fight that makes sense for DDP at this point is Khamzat Chimaev. If he faces and defeats Chimaev, he should move up to light heavyweight to challenge Alex Pereira or Magomed Ankalaevwhoever holds the 205-pound title at that time.Weili Zhang is in a different situation. Her domination at strawweight is completeshe has already run through the division. It makes sense for her to move up to flyweight to face the winner of the yet-to-be-announced clash between Valentina Shevchenko and Manon Fiorot.Shevchenko vs. Weili is the fight most fans would want to see, but well see if Shevchenko can get past Fiorot first and retain her flyweight title.Lastly, given the lack of depth in the UFCs heavyweight division, Tallison Teixeira deserves to leapfrog DonTale Mayes and Jhonata Diniz to claim the No. 14 spot in the rankings. Hes a perfect 8-0, and he just finished Justin Tafa as definitively as anyone has in his career.
