Since Cowboy accepted this fight on 3 weeks notice, I am willing to bet he added a caveat that he gets the next title shot if he wins.
Cowboy absolutely deserves it, regardless of how much Sherdog hates rematches.
Khabib can take a warm-up fight.
Agreed. If Cowboy beats Bendo he will have 7 straight wins over good-great comp. as much as Khabib deserves a shot based on his record he hasn't fought in quite a while and Cerrone's strength of schedule has him trumped in my opinion.
Off topic, I like the new sig, can't argue with Jones' insane list of opponents. I really thought Cormier could beat him but Jones simply wouldn't be denied.

No, I'd rather see Khabib get his much deserved title shot. The guy Khabib dominated and shut out 3-0 is getting a title shot against Pettis. That says a lot about Khabib. It also won't look good on the UFC, or Pettis, if he chooses to rematch a guy that he knocked out easily in one round instead of the undefeated fighter who everyone thinks will give him his toughest test.
Khabib > RDA > Cerrone.
As Khabib said on twitter following RDA's TKO win over Henderson "and now you understand who is who @ufc"
