Do you think umar will take a fight after Bautista?

Umar haters will campaign for Figgy or the Vera / Zahabi winner to get a title shot instead over him if he beats Bautista lol.

He doesn't deserve it, but if Umar and Merab both win, who else deserves a crack at the title? Hed have beaten Omalley and Yan twice, Cejudo is retiring, Sandhagen just lost (and lost to Umar), Bautista will no longer be an option, Chito Vera isn't a real option...we are talking some long shots like Yadong if he defeats Omalley or maybe Zahabi if defeats Chito get aligned, otherwise maybe Talbott if he gets by Cejudo gets groomed. But in reality, its likely Umar or Pantoja.

That's why I said umar won't deserve it, but I'd still want it. Gotta see how he looks vs. Bautista first. I'm still bummed it's not a 5 rounder.
