Next LHW Title Shot!?

[FallonFoxGOAT]

Jonny Bones is getting KO'd in April. I'm looking forward to it!

Yes, Glover is going to KO Jones just like Bader did and Shogun did and Rampage did and Machida did and Belfort did and Gustafsson did.

...oh, wait...

He's better than every single one of them and won't connect with pitter patter shots like Gus and Machida were. When Glover connects, Jones is done.

I'd say Gus if he wins. Rashad is Cormier's 1st fight in LHW so even Cormier wins, I believe he should still fight more for a title shot even Gus lose. Maybe Cormier/Rashad winner against Davis, then the winner will get the next shot.

I feel like Cormier's resume at HW has been good enough that he should get a title shot soon if he wins and Gus loses. It would turn into one of those "Who else are they going to give it to?" situations.

Glover is a good striker with huge power and an excellent ground game. All in all he's probably Jone's biggest threat to date. That being said, acting like a Glover KO is a sure thing is ridiculous.

Glover was in trouble by Bader, Jones will give him more than he can handle.

Also, I would argue that Belfort and Machida are better fighters than Glover, but to each their own.

 

[Shwartz]

Gus, because people want the rematch.
DC will probably win Rashad fight, but he'll do it safely again and fans won't be hell bent on seeing him fighting Jones.

 

[muaythaibeast]

but weidman still defeats better fighters than those who manuwa faced before.

What I meant was at the point of getting the title shot manuwa would have the better record. 15-0 all finishes with a ko of gus is much better than 9-0 with a best win of munoz

 

[SherdogGoat]

If both Cormier and Gus wins, then whoever is more impressive in victory should get the titleshot. If one of them loses, the other gets the titleshot. If they both lose then I suppose Rashad vs Manuwa for the titleshot.

Oh my god! are you psychic? Can you tell me my future?!

You'll die rather soon. Good day.

Gus has it as long as he beats manuwa.

The winner of dc/rashad will probably face davis to decide the next contender.

 

[Rittsy]

I think Gus is already confirmed for the next title shot (as long as he wins).

 

[jjresq]

I think the Ufc wants to give Gus the title shot if he wins

 

[The5thgod]

Making no assumptions about the winner of Glover vs JBJ. It could be an immediate rematch situation..

However, we have upcoming..

Rashad vs Cormier

&

Gus vs Manuwa.

Any of these 4 men could be next if they win impressively. Obviously Cormier and Gus have been talked about the most. But if Manuwa or Rashad absolutely destroy their opponents then they could quite easily get a shot.

Thoughts?

I think you nailed it on the head with the two fights you mentioned. One of the winners from these two fights will get the next title shot.

 

[dbsh209]

Cormier if he beats Rashad, than Gus if he beats Manuwa. Phil Davis is likely one fight away from a title shot as well.

Yeah, that's what I think as well.

 

[Mikedh]

I would prefer Gus if he wins. DC/Jones is compelling, but I want a rematch.

 

[Shonuff1980**]

The division is so weak we just don't know who's going to get the next shot. Whoever is the most impressive winner of Gus/Manuwa and Cormier/Evans will get the shot, TS.

Davis is on standby in case things go very, very wrong.

LOL. Troll or retard?

To answer TS: I'd like to see Jon rematch Gus, but IMO Rashad is a tougher opponent than Manuwa. I could see this going either way if they both win their fights, and honestly, don't care who Jon fights next (assuming he gets by Glover), they'll both get a title shot in time.

I think Gus no matter what.
