Volkov is number 7. He is not fighting for the title if he wins.
Werdum likely gets a TS with a win. But would also require about 8-10 months of no fights. Considering Stipe doesn’t fight until July. Then it’s probably 4-6 months until he fights again. I’m not sure a long layoff would be wise. But, he’s been trying to get back there for almost 2 yrs. So, he’d probably be willing to sit, if he knows he’s next.
It’s a FightPass card. It’s on in the afternoon. It’s not getting much attention period. Nobody in here is even talking about it. C’est la vie.
