Or do you think someone else deserve it? ie. Stickland

To me it's no brainer for either one of these two get the TS.

Although, I really hope it's Chimaev. Been waiting for him to get a TS for awhile now.

If Izzy beats DDP (is that fight even happening?) then I assume the UFC and Izzy will want Sean/Izzy 2, if DDP wins then I assume Khamzat/Whittaker gets the next shot.
 
That Whittaker/Khamzat winner seems like it will be the sexiest option. If Zat wins, it's gonna be too hype not to give him the fight. If Hobert wins - he's beaten Cannonier, he beat Strickland's recent win, he also lost to DDP like Strickland and he's the first ranked MW to actually accept the Khamzat fight. You gotta give it to him, if he wins.
 
A crazy performance of Chimaev, Whittaker or Cannonier should lead to a title shot
If there is no crazy performance, they will wait for DDP vs Adesanya and look for what makes sense
 
They promised it to Chimaev if he took out Usman, but it didn’t happen. They said Adesanya -DDP is next, but no word on the matter after that. No clue at this point. If Chimaev wins, he most likely gets it. If Whittaker wins, it’s a toss up between him and Strickland, even Izzy if he wants it because it is the fight that has the most appeal to the casual fanbase and is likely to get them more cash.
