He's currently on a 4 fight win streak with 2 top 10 wins over Phil Davis and OVP.

When you look at the light heavyweight landscape only 3 top 10 light heavyweights are coming off a win(besides Rumble and Jones). Bader already beat OVP and the other is Rashad Evans.

Does the UFC make Rashad vs Bader next? Or maybe Gus/Cormier could fight Bader next and with a win over Bader quickly position themselves for another title shot?
 
If I was Joe Silva, I'd make Gus vs Bader and Cormier vs Davis.

Maybe Rashad vs OSP.
 
I'd like to see Gustafsson vs. Cormier and Bader vs. Evans. However, I could definitely see the UFC doing Gustafsson vs. Bader and Cormier vs. Evans. I prefer to see the top 2 contenders fight each other, but the UFC is starting to avoid those fights because they like to keep their options open.

If they go this route, Gustafsson would get the next shot with a win over Bader, and a Bader win would allow for the winner of Cormier and Evans to get the next shot. All of this depends on Jones beating Johnson, however, as a Johnson win would follow with an immediate rematch.

The problem with Bader besides the fact that he is boring is that no one in their right mind would give him a chance against Jones again. Even a win in his next fight wouldn't be enough for a title shot.
 
Re sign Tito.

Let him avenge that loss.

Win win for Dana, takes another big name from Bellator. Marketable co main?
 
Bring back Tito for 1 fight contract Bader vs Tito 2.

PS: this is sarcasm for those that miss it
 
...I like the idea of Gus vs Bader.
We almost got Cormier vs Evans, so we can do that one again I guess.

Davis can go to Bellator.
