Of course he doesn't. But they really, really didn't want Lawler-Hendricks III so soon, Rory just lost to Lawler, and no one else really stands out.
An argument could be made for Woodley but he's not exactly a slam dunk contender (looked absolutely horrible against MacDonald a couple fights ago and in his two fight win streak, the most recent win was a very underwhelming split decision) and Condit has a much bigger name. Plus stylistically it's an incredible fight.
WW is in a weird transitional period. 3 of the top 10 aren't in the UFC. Brown, MacDonald, and Hendricks have already fought Lawler. And Maia has been inconsistent (his record against top ten fighters is pretty awful). It was Condit, Woodley, or Hendricks III. I'm a fan of Hendricks but I'm alright with this. Condit-Lawler is going to be an amazing fight.
