It only makes sense at this point. I guess Calderwood could fight Claudia, but that fight is just so...meh.
 
Rose is fighting KK next. Unsure if that is for #1 contender but it could be
 
Rose/KK should be the #1 contender fight and it's happening soon if JJ wants to fight at MSG. I think Jojo needs another win before she even gets a #1 contender fight.
 
Honestly nothing makes me think Calderwood would do any better against Rose than she did in the house.
 
Since Rose is taken, how bout Calderwood/Andrade.
 
Why should Calderwood be that close to a title shot? Her best win was against Val, who was #8 before her title shot, and only got it because all other fighters were booked up or injured.
 
Calderwood has shown quite a bit of improvement, Zahabi is doing wonders.

But give her a different match up to see how consistent it is.

JJ at MSG would be such a waste of a spot
 
Well, dun forget.. Rose is already gonna be dancing with KK..
Yeah I know. I'm not saying that match shouldn't be made, I'm just giving my opinion on how it might go.

I couldn't care less but it's what JJ wants with Ronda headlining. But I don't think Ronda is returning until early 2017.
 
I would guess that rose/kk would be the logical next step. Tecia, Andrade, and calderwood in any combination could happen soon. I'm not sure what the status of Penne is, nor do I know how soon Claudia or Esparza plan to fight again.

Every fighter in the last 5 events has asked to fight at MSG. Kevin Lee tried to get a rematch with Iaquinta ffs
 
Rose vs KK should be next contender. Rose needs to step and say she wants a shot if she wins this time.

These don't coincide with rankings but are what I would like to see.
Andrade vs Moroz

JoJo vs Esparza

Tecia vs Waterson

Claudia vs Valerie rematch
 
Rose is fighting Karolina for the number one contender spot later this month. Winner obv gets the next shot at JJ.

JoJo versus Andrade would be a barn burner but I doubt they make that fight now because both just came off impressive victories and the organization is gonna want them to add to those streaks. Before their last fights they were coming off losses. Regardless of having finishes, 2 wins in a row (for which either girl wins) doesn't scream title shot.
