Been seeing a lot of posts lately saying that Belfort needs another win or two before fighting for the MW title. Belfort's on a 4 fight win streak at MW and has finished all 4 of his opponents, with 3 in 1st round and Bisping was finished in the 2nd.
Bisping and Rockhold were also ranked in the top 5 at the time that Belfort defeated them and Belfort is currently ranked #2 in the division.
IMO there's no doubt that Belfort deserves to face the winner of Silva/Weidman. I mean, who else are you going to give the shot to, Okami? Whether you think Belfort can beat Silva or Weidman is another thing, but Belfort definitely should be next in line
