You guys gotta play it one step ahead.
-The UFC says Chael vs Vitor is a #1 contender fight. Vitor doesn't get licensed. Chael essentially says "well if I was going to fight a #1 contender fight, why am I going to fight somebody unless it's a #1 contender fight?" Then you're essentially forced to put Chael into a #1 contender opportunity if Vitor doesn't get licensed. You've booked yourself in a corner.
If Vitor gets licensed and Chael gets the fight AND wins, it's far easier to go "DID YOU SEE THAT?! HOLY SHIT CHAEL IS THE #1 CONTENDER!"
