If you are the UFC what do you do with Maia now?

[Loko3]

Seems pretty obvious that Wonderboy has earned the next shot. Assuming Lawler isn't given an immediate rematch in a loss to Woodley what matches do you make for Demian? He's on a five fight win streak since his loss to Rory and he's not getting any younger at 38 years of age.

Does he fight the winner of Hendricks/Gastelum?
Should he fight Condit?
The loser of Woodley/Lawler?
Keep him on the shelf until those 2 title fights are resolved?

EDIT: Can a mod add a poll option?

 

[Gabe]

Gastelum/Hendricks winner

 

[Agent Mulder's Hair]

Sell him to China for a billion dollars

 

[Weidman]

He ain't getting title shot that's for sure.

 

[TheRassler]

force him to hang up his backpack or else........bellator.

 

[ZackZed]

Send him to One FC and challenge Askren.

 

[iwhoopedbatman]

If Condit will do it, make that fight. Otherwise give him Hendricks/Gastelum

 

[xMaxPower]

I hope Woodley gets injured. There's like 10 other guys I'd rather see fight Robbie then Woodley.

 

[BigNuggetIce]

It sucks for Maia. He deserves a shot but Thompson deserves one even more. It wouldn't be such a big deal if Woodley wasn't holding shit up. I just can't fathom why he got the shot. He's not a big draw, & I thought he lost to gastelum.

 

[Arkridge]

Contender fight against Condit.

 

[HARDCORE CHINO]

nick diaz?

 

[wellsdj1]

Lawler vs woodley / wonderboy

Maia vs Nick Diaz #1 contender fight

 

[BJJ_Rage]

Condit or diaZ

 

[Ube]

I actually want to see Woolley fight. Just so he can realize that he never deserved the shot in the first place when he's getting his face pushed in by lawler.

Really I give woodley a chance. But he's kind of known for folding under pressure, right?We'll see I guess.

 

[FlyingKimurabar]

Gastelum/Hendricks winner

This.

Contender fight against Condit.

Wut. You must want him to get a title shot bad lol. You want his bath to the title shot to be completely void of facing any decent wrestlers. The UFC has given Maia nothing but average to poor wrestlers so far, which is why he's been so successful lately.

 

[trident]

I want Maia to get that TS but WB did leap him. Maia needs that victory over a top 3 or 4 guy so thats either Condit or Hendricks/Kelvin winner.

He did lose to Rory and Shields, its not like Maia hasnt had the opportunities.

I'm not even a Maia fan. Condit is one of the best WWs in the world and I'd like Maia to fight a top 5 opponent. I don't want him to fight a step down just to see him fight a wrestler. I want to see him fight the best guys.

Lawler/Woodley winner vs Thompson
Hendricks/Gastelum winner vs Rory
Hendricks/Gastelum loser vs Magny

You mean to say that ducking Lombard hard and sitting out for 19 months shouldn't be rewarded with a title shot?
