I think LHW is in a transition period... That top 5 doeHe has been impressive in his four fights. He is being brought along slowly, which is a good thing.
I guess stranger things have happened, but Cirkunov would need to face (and defeat) someone of divisional relevance first. The fact that Oezdemir is ranked in the Top 10 in the UFC after one fight illustrates just how woefully thin the LHW division is right now.
If Teixeira wins by the logic of Jones-Teixeira already happened, Teix losing in 30 seconds vs Rumble 2 fights ago, etc.Btw, by what logic would he jump ahead of the winner of 1st contender vs 2nd contender, who are fighting on the same card?
It would be Manuwa coming off KO'ing OSP. Cirkunov need a little more time.If Teixeira wins by the logic of Jones-Teixeira already happened, Teix losing in 30 seconds vs Rumble 2 fights ago, etc.
So Manuwa or Cirkunov would get it.
