I like it, I was going to suggest the winner of Gus/Mousasi but I think I like this better.

Easy fight for Glover.

Lil Nog has some of the most overrated boxing in the history of MMA.

So many people follow this notion it's become underrated.

- Diet Nog -> Mousasi/Gus winner.

Whoever wins then, TS.

- Diet Nog -> Hendo/Machida loser

But depending on timing, injuries, etc, I think He have at least 3 guys that could get the TS and not be unfair (Gus, Nog, Glover).

For what Machida did (brutal loss to JBJ and turning dows TS) and Hendo did (concealing the injury until the last freaking moment), they need one more win to deserve.

And Mousasi NEEDS to be tested against top tier guys.

If Gustafsson wins against Mousasi but doesn't get the immediate title shot after that, then Little Nog is the perfect match-up.

I celebrated like the biggest fanboy on earth after Rogerio won yesterday against all odds, but I wouldn't want to see this fight next to be honest. Glover kills him IMO: more power, better groundgame and takedowns plus Nog doesn't have the speed to get the KO, only if it happens quickly and just don't see it this time.

Gus has not faced top competition yet.

Neither had Mousasi recently.

So I think both needs one more fight. And since Diet Nog is a veteran on a good streak (unlike Shogun was against Gus), I think he could be the guy to make the TS fair.

If Nog wins, then he MUST fight JBJ.

Lil Nog is hard to be seen as a contender, and I don't think the UFC is going to let him climb to challenger status that fast.

Nog is the kind of fighter that makes you look bad, win or lose. And the UFC rules aren't really something that suits his style.

I'm happy Rogério won, but I'm still wondering what Rashad was thinking about during the fight
