Is this a title shot? Luke’s not the champ.
Because Romero gives zero fucks. He’ll fight anyone anytime.
It's an enterim title shot.

Except if romero wins, sucks to see whitaker fight him again. Rather see him fight new people. Too many rematches.
Haven’t Jacare and Weidman had enough recovery time from their surgeries?
Kelvin is coming off a win over the former champ.
Romero is coming off a loss. Why does he get the title shot eliminator?
jacare got stopped tho. romero did not.Don’t get me wrong, I love gay jesus vs. rocksalt. But let’s be honest, the UFC doesn’t always book what we want.
Chris is coming off a win, and a rematch vs Rockhold is a compelling fight.
At the end of the day, Romero had his crack at the champ, and he came up short.
Jacare is fresh off surgery, and his last loss was to Bobby knux as well, so he has as much of a claim as Romero.
I think you focus too much on their last fight only.But chris and kelvin are coming off wins. Why not them?
What about Jacare?
why do people say gay jesus? was this ever confirmed? did Romero really mean to say gay jesus???
Does Anderson being the most dominant champ still count for something as far as match making goes in 2018?I hear that. But before then he was the defending MW champ and dethroned the most doninant champ ever to get there. Has to count for something, right?

Because Yoel beat Jacare and Weidman...?
Suddenly the rankings are being used the way they should be and you are complaining. Peace.
The guy who got badly stopped and beaten by Whitaker in his last fight?
Clearly the guy hates Yoel. Look how he can't comprehend that Yoel is still the most deserving fighter in MW and reiterates his stupid question.
Weidman already had a title, but suffered 3fight skid, in all of which he was TKOd, and his most recent win was a WW.
Kelvin is a welterweight who lost to Weidman and refused to fight Yoel. He would have to pile more wins to stake his claim.
Jacare lost to Yoel and Whittaker. His only wins are against low ranked fighters.
Yoel wasn't dominated by current champ Whittaker like Jacare was, he is the only one havinv beat all the real top contenders at MW in Weidman, Jacare, Brunson, Machida and recently. He comes off from 4 top5 opponents. He's the highest ranked to able to challange the champ.
If anything, Rockhold doesn't deserve to fight for the title.
Weidman 1-3 in last four, nearly ko'd by Gastelum, not during preparatuon.Haven’t Jacare and Weidman had enough recovery time from their surgeries?

Close fight, sure.
But chris and kelvin are coming off wins. Why not them?
You support what I said."Hespectfully, post: 137558839, member: 471511"He’s coming off an L though. Anytime someone gets a TS or title eliminator fight off a loss, people lose their shit. Remember when Cormier did it? Wheres the consistency? I’m just asking the question.
You support what I said.
If coming off a loss is so shocking for you, think off how defending champs lose and get immediate rematch for their belts coming of a loss. It's mostly pitting the most deserving guys against each other(mostly since we just had all that Bisping fiasco). Also Rockhold vs Yoel is an awesome matchup, and they were both incamp already so they will be both ready and won't have short camp excuse.You raised a good point, which I would have included in the OP if I had thought of it.
And to be clear, I don’t hate this matchup, or Yoel. And this thread isn’t to convince anyone that Yoel doesn’t deserve it. Just wanted to hear my sherbros weigh in on why the other guys weren’t considered.
