John Dodson tore his ACL awhile back and in recent interviews, told us he's going to be gearing up for a return around March/April. Question is, does he get an immediate title shot like he was supposed to get before the injury, or do they put him in a #1 contenders fight to shake off the ring rust before his potential title fight?
I don't know about you guys but I've been wanting to see Dodson/Benavidez for a long time, that would be a great fight to make but a loss for Dodson would knock him back out of title contention. I also like a potential fight with Ali Bagutinov who is coming off a title loss to Mighty Mouse. Another option would be rising contender Kyoji Horiguchi but I'm not in favor of that because it could derail Horiguchi in a division lacking many credible contenders.
What do you guys think? If Dodson doesn't get an immediate title fight upon return, who is he matched up with?
