The title picture at middleweight is an absolute mess.
Romero had claim but he failed a PEDS test - even though he got a reduced suspension, it still most definitely steps you back one notch. Jacare has claim and only lost a controversial decision to Romero, and just absolutely torched Belfort. He gets passed over for the #13 ranked due to a 'because why not' title shot.
Rockhold needs a win to get back to the title, but it should only be one because of how dominant he's been, including stopping the current champ and former champ.
Weidman was on a career-long roll, dethrones Silva, repeats it, beats up Machida and takes out Belfort. Was going to get an instant title rematch, but had surgery.
I think the only sane thing is to just book 'do over' tournament.
Rockhold -vs- Weidman
Romero -vs- Jacare
Whomever wins most impressively goes next....
