The large group of plausible candidates below them will compete for rankings place in hopes of a title shot or eliminator. Saturday's performance might put Lewis or Spivak in title contention.

Lewis (26-10-1) is a nine-year UFC veteran who has fought some of the division's top names, yet he lost title battles to Gane and Daniel Cormier. He knocked off No. 4-ranked Curtis Blaydes and defeated Ngannou.

Lewis' explosive power makes him a threat in any opponent, but recent performances have many MMA analysts wondering if the 37-year-finest old's days are behind him. His last three losses have been stoppages to younger contenders in three rounds. Lewis can change that if he defeats Spivak (15-3), who is 6-3 in nine UFC fights but has fought primarily weak competition.

The Russian's highlight is a second-round submission over No. 5-ranked Tai Tuivasa, who knocked out Lewis at UFC 271 in February. Spivak has lost against veteran Marcin Tybura and youngster Tom Aspinall. SportsLine only shows UFC Fight Night picks.
