With Yoel KOing Rockhold in the fashion he did he has secured himself a fight with Whittaker for the title. So what is next for the rest of the division?

The Chris and Kelvin have been campaigning but both are on 1-fight win 'streaks'. The fights I would make are:

Yoel vs Whittaker
Weidman vs Jacare
Kelvin vs ??? there isn't a lot of options, maybe Branch but he has a fight coming up, so that would mean an even longer layoff for Kelvin. Brunson just got KO'd and might not be cleared for a while.

What fights would you make?
 
Might as well give Conor a title shot to come back
 
I am down for The Chris to finally fight Jacare. Could be for the next shot at the belt... Didn't realize the division was so weak till looking at the rankings. Whitaker might be Champion for a hot minute. ;)
 
Just line them up and let Whitaker knock them down.
 
Yoel Vs Rob 2
Chris Vs Jacare
Gastelum Vs Costa

Belfort Vs Machida
 
Romero just fought Whittaker, don't have a desire to see that just yet.
 
Why do people want to kill of contenders by having them fight each it.
 
Romero and Jacare need to fight a title eliminator. First fight was controversial plus Whittaker injured.
 
Romero vs. Whittaker
Weidman vs. Souza
Rockhold vs. Bisping III
Brunson vs. Branch
Theodorou vs. Hall
Machida vs. Belfort
Santos vs. Adesanya

Announce brackets and have an 8 man tourney over 3 separate cards, the winner of which to collect a fat bonus, and a title shot of the eventual winner of Romero vs Whittaker (assuming they have had time to heal up and fight each other).
 
Whittaker vs. Weidman because I prefer it to seeing Whittaker/Romero again.

Other fighters take other fights. I don't see how the division needs sorting, other than fighters naturally healing from their injuries, like Whittaker's illness and Luke's concussion.
