Problem is that nobody deserves to step up and face Rob. Romero has the best case but he either has to go up or prove he can make the weight.
Gastelum winning a tight decision over Jacare isn't enough when Weidman trashed him. Weidman has a one fight win streak so nope. Jacare coming off an L to Gastelum is out of the picture. Rockhold is the wildcard. Its all made worse because most of them have fought each other and victories are randomly split.
So we need to give some surging guys access to the top 5 while creating a contender. Rob needs to wait for a contender to emerge and go play some video games.
Romero vs. Gastelum. If Gastelum is as great as he thinks he is. Prove it. If he beats Romero he is simply undeniable. If Romero beats Gas and makes championship weight he has a way better case for a final crack at Rob. If Gas wins he gets the shot. If Romero wins he might get the shot pending other results.
Jacare is on the outer and needs to string some together. Branch wants him and I make that fight.
Weidman needs another good win against a top guy. Problem is he has lost to Rockhold and Romero already and anyone else aside from them is a worse win than Gas. Enter Darren Till. Till has no business being at welterweight. I give him the money he needs to move up and help clear this logjam by fighting Weidman. If he wins he is a viable next contender. If Weidman wins he is a viable contender. Either of these guys gets the next shot if Romero beats Gastelum.
Rockhold seems to be done with 185 but I think the division still needs him. Depending on whether DC wins and vacates the 205 belt. If DC loses I book Rockhold vs. Tavares if Brad wins. Adesanya will need another fight if he gets past Brad.
The bottom half of the top 10 is going to have some guys ready to step up soon. Shoeface vs. Brunson, Hall vs. Costa and Tavares vs. Adesanya will create opponents for any of the guys that lose the aforementioned fights.
