if Pettis wins and gets his title shot? A Miller WAR seems like the best litmus test to see if your ready for a title shot
It would be a great fight but I think Melendez is getting a title shot his first fight in. Pettis could beat god himself and they'd still look down on him for a title shot because Clay Guida grapple fucked him for 3 rounds. The Pettis/Cerrone fight probably won't wind up having any real implications to it, other then it's a really intriguing fight for the fans to see. If you just look at the past year of title eliminators and fights where UFC promises the winner is one more fight away, or if this happens, or if that happens, that's pretty much what will wind up happening for the winner of Pettis/Cerrone. It's just going to be another fight for both guys that they have to win to stay in contention.
I would like to see this fight if Melendez loses to Ben, or a little later if he beats Ben. (which he won't) I think Gil deserves his chance for the belt right away, and I think Miller is pretty much the top contender, I mean he's right on the cusp.
