AA gets the next shot at the HW title, right?

[ovbious]

Who else?

 

[ovbious]

After the Cain/Werdum fight, of course.

 

[is normal]

I think he should get Werdum, whether Werdum beats Cain or not.

 

[Gunni]

I could see a case for Miocic, considering his fight with JDS was super close. But Arlovski has three god wins in a row now, so if i were the UFC i would give it to him. Great story too. Got not chance against Cain though.

 

[Weidman]

From #8 two days ago to title shot?, Maybe first AA vs Miocic for #1.

 

[Tchernobog]

Cain wins = AA
Werdum wins = JDS

 

[Jin Akutsu]

Cain wins = AA
Werdum wins = JDS

This.

 

[ostlerrage]

Nah. maybe miocic. probably has a better shot.

 

[Lord Fauntleroy]

Love to see it, but I think it'll be Miocic/Arlovski for the next number one contender.

 

[garwoc]

Cain wins = AA
Werdum wins = JDS

Sounds good to me

 

[Gazwald]

Cain wins = AA
Werdum wins = JDS

I like this, but what if JDS KOs Werdum and Cain stays healthy and strings together a couple of wins. Only a true sadist would want to see Cain maul JDS again.

 

[AusMMAfan]

When Cain returns from injury in 2025 we'll find out.

 

[Rvd Slmr]

Cain wins = AA
Werdum wins = JDS

This, the UFC won't make any decision until the title reunification.

From #8 two days ago to title shot?, Maybe first AA vs Miocic for #1.

This eliminates one contender in a shallow division this would be bad. Miocic can get the shot after Arlovski.

And JDS should fight Overeem if he wins the title against Werdum he would die. Not because of Werdum but because Cain would earna title shot within a few months and he would wreck JDS for good

 

[Candy Routure]

It's crazy that AA is back in the mix. Im truly happy for the guy! You go from suicide to contender.. It's a good story!

That said, I hope they give it to him, but you can make the case for Stipe at this point, and if Werdum wins they'll have the money rematch with JDS! So, it's basically based on how the cards fall between Fabricio and Cain.

Cain wins and It's AA or Stipe.. Werdum wins and it's JDS or AA, IMO.

 

[Mike01010101a]

Love to see it, but I think it'll be Miocic/Arlovski for the next number one contender.

Yes, this would be a logic step.

 

[ovbious]

Dunno, why would Stipe who had a loss not so long ago be ahead of AA?

If UFC wants to give him another fight before the title shot, then I guess it could be:

AA vs JDS (if Werdum win)
AA vs Stipe (otherwise)

 

[MuyThaiElbows]

If Cain wins then Stipe needs to get the next shot. As long as Cain holds the gold JDS won't get a title shot unless the UFC gets desperate. So JDS/Reem/Arvloski would make the most sense for the next title shot

If Werdurm wins, then JDS should get the next shot and Reem vs Arvloski for the next title shot.

 

[1punch1KO]

Cain wins = AA
Werdum wins = JDS

A 4th fight with JDS? After the last fight they had, no.
