Volk vs Yair 2 for the Mexico card most likely

I'm a big fan of yair, and I'd love to see him hold the title but no.

just no. Give evloev his shot now. Yair can certainly fight one more maybe lerone murphy and the winner goes next. Jean silva can fight lopes, and if he wins give him the loser of volk vs evloev for the shot after that
 
Only way I'd accept this if it leads to JDM Islam headling a PPV card in Australia. If it's legit and admittedly Ali lies whenever his mouth is open so I'd take it with more than a grain of salt Yair was always a chance of getting an entirely unwarranted title shot given how the UFC loves that Mexican market.
 
UFC would further water down their belts with their illegitimate title fights.
It's true but fans of this sport are week hearted, If it's a fighter they like they are okay with it, No one cares about legitimacy truly. Only when it's a fighter they don't like, only then does it matter.

I wish the backlash would change their minds, but they’re still going ahead with Merab vs Sean despite the critics.
Critics can't offer a better fight. but that's not critics fault though, you give umar a shot he doesn't deserve and make yan fight figgy for no reason and this is what you're left with. Give figgy the shot, have umar fight song and you could have had 2 fresh match ups. But like my above point, Legitimacy only matters when it's a fighter you dont want to see get a title shot.

UFC match made themselves into a corner with the BW division forcing this stupid rematch

Yair 100% does not deserve that fight. It would be even more annoying if he won because that just sends a clear message to every fighter on the roster that inactivity, pulling out, ducking and being selective is the best way to maximise your opportunity.
