There has been no shortage of big stories in 2018 for the sport of MMA. Unfortunately, a lot of those stories have been outside of the Octagon and none bigger than Conor McGregor's tantrum at UFC 223.
Those events, potential fighter returns, and failed matchmaking have left fans wondering "what if" about a number of different possibilities.
The UFC has had to shuffle the deck and survive the first-half of 2018 with most of their major stars out of action. Through personal choice or via suspensions the sport's biggest money makers have been on the sideline.
