Callout Collection: Who UFC Rio Rancho winners want next – and how likely they’ll get them

Earning wins in the UFC is certainly no easy task, but what comes next is often even more important: the post-fight callout.

So after Saturday’s UFC on ESPN+ 25 event in Rio Rancho, NM., who took advantage of their time on the mic? See below for this week’s Callout Collection – and just how realistic each one is.

First up, let’s take a look at the night’s prelim winner.

Macy Chiasson

Wants to fight: Nicco Montano

The callout: “I’d still love to run it back with Nicco once she is all recovered. She’s a former champ and ranked, so I’d love that. Maybe sometime in May if it works out for everyone.”

The reality: It’s the matchup that was originally planned for Rio Rancho, but a Grade 2 MCL sprain forced the former flyweight champion off the card. After Macy Chiasson’s solid display and victory, it seems perfectly reasonable for the UFC matchmakers to revisit the booking for this summer, Montano’s fitness permitting.

Next up, let’s check out the main card.
