Thiago Santos vs Volkan/Reyes winner is the fight to make

[DatSamboKid]

Vokan Oezdemir and Dominic Reyes are fighting 2 weeks after Jon Jones and Anthony Smith.
Santos should be matched up against the winner of that bout. It's a great N.1 contender fight.
Corey Anderson is also rumoured to be fighting Gustafsson.

Jon Jones said he wants to be active this year (3-4 fights).

Let's assume Jones wins next Saturday. How should the UFC plan the LHW division out?

Will they grant Volkan/Reyes winner a title shot? Did Santos do enough to earn one? What if Anderson beats Gustafsson? Is Jones vs DC happening next? and what about the man they name Johnny Walker? So many questions and no answers.

Thoughts?

Only if it’s Reyes
We already know what happens to Volk when he faces the elite

Yes, it's safe to assume the UFC would love Reyes to come out on top in spectacular fashion.

Id say so, Reyes vs Santos is a more compelling fight imo aswell
They can do it for an interim whilst Jones fight at HW if he wants

Just give Santos a title shot, he actually has a small chance of KOing Jones

Jones aint gonna fight at HW unless its for the belt and hella lot of money. I think he will stay LHW and stay active beating up on these Lhws.

Stupid fight. You gonna kill one possible title contender by doing it.

It really depends what they decide on doing.
Do they want to schedule Jones vs Cormier next?
If not, do they want to have Jones fight again soon or wait till later this year?
I wouldn't be surprised if Reyes, Volkan or Santos get the title shot next.
It simply depends on whether or not Jones wins, gets the job done injury-free and if one fighter stands out, out of those 3.
Santos raised the bar high.
