If Lineker stops Rivera, who´s next for the BW title shot?

[Kung Fu bb]

Rivera seems the obvious guy for that TS, but what if Lineker stops him???? He and TJ just fought.

So, if Lineker stops Rivera, what happens? Who is gonna get that bw TS?

Should TJ make Dom wait and refuse to rematch him until he gets some wins like he had to do? Or give him the rematch?

Thoughts?

 

[007]

Assuncao

 

[Ares Black]

Dominick Cruz

 

[ALAN PARTRIDGE]

Gary Lineker??

 

[Frozen Sea]

Then make Garbrandt x Lineker and winner gets the TS or a title elimantor bout vs Assuncao

 

[Gambit MMA]

give it to lineker then. cody needs to take another fight

 

[Gambit MMA]

and assuncao has a bunch of split decision wins. make him fight 1 more time if need be even vs cody

 

[Just Creed]

Came into the thread thinking "is this a random bump from a 2015 thread?"

 

[Gabe]

Moraes or Assuncao

 

[Jawth]

If TJ goes down or Mouse comes up they have some time.

Imo they do Assuncao vs. Cody and Cruz vs. Moraes in the meantime.

If not they probably do the trilogy fight with Assuncao, or Cruz rematch.

Let's see how things play out with TJ and DJ. There are quite a lot of options at BW:

Cody if he wins a fight
Cruz if he wins a fight
Assuncao rubber match
Lineker/Rivera winner
Marlon Moraes
Dodson because he has that win over TJ

I always wanted to see George Roop fight for the BW title.

I loved how y’all would shut your mouths and hide every time Roop won a fight, but would make a huge deal of it if he lost.

Make it happen.

 

[Les Vejtibals]

Gary Lineker??

Still in reasonable shape.

 

[DarkneT]

LOL

Jimmie by decision

[TheGrouch]

I'd say Jimmie takes it pretty easily. But to answer the thread's hypothetical - personally I want to see Cody get an immediate rematch. If not that, Moraes or Assuncao makes sense. If "Not-A-Draw-Dillashaw" insists (lol) on fighting MM, then it should be for the TJ's belt.

 

[hypocalking]

I'd love to see Lineker vs Cody but Im sure Cody will take a fight before that.

 

[GreatSaintGuillotine]

Cody vs Lineker

Cruz vs Assuncao

But Jimmie prob wins so he's next

 

[Joseph_McBride]

Assuncao, IF the Mouse ducks the Snake. If TJ/DJ happens & Lineker wins:

Cody vs Lineker
Cruz vs Assuncao

Whoever wins most impressively gets the next crack at TJ. Moraes vs Munhoz to keep them busy.

If TJ/DJ happens & Rivera wins:

Rivera vs Assuncao #1 contender

Cody vs Cruz(fights winner below)
Moraes vs Munhoz(fights winner above)

 

[Osiris3657]

If Jimmi doesn't win, give it to Moraes

Even though I like Lineker, I'd be so bummed for Rivera. He's been waiting a long time for this opportunity, quietly moving up the rankings.

Make it happen.

Is he even still in the UFC?
