After losses to Poirier and Moicano, he's rebuilt himself back on the title track. He's still out of the title picture with Gaethje and the winner of the BMF ahead of him but I think a fight against arman or paddy would be the right move for him. Arman is the much riskier fight but Paddy is a good name should the UFC want to build BSD back up.
I think BSD is legit and definitely defeats the Gaethje we saw last week.
 
I think the two losses are still pretty recent to keep him out of the top bubble, and out of reach for Justin, or the BMF winner, like you said.

But I disagree with the other options. With BSD getting to at least #6 after this, if he fights Paddy or Arman, that's a pretty high turnaround fight for Paddy, or a pretty continued punishment for Arman

That leaves one choice, imo, the BMF title  loser. I think that's a high enough profile fight, while still not being a full momentum gaining fight would probably put him in range for just one more good win
 
BSD is in a good spot anyone of the top 4/5 paddy/charles/max/arman are next and he can win will be a legit contender.
 
I honestly thought he was about to get finished before Dan decided to try the worst trip I have ever seen.... BSD couldn't get on top of Hooker and was getting blasted... id say hes far from a title shot... I like the idea of him fighting Paddy.... BSD is clearly not as good defensively or has the chin of JG...
 
Although arman clearly deserves the shot … they’re doing tuporia vs Gaethe … so do arman vs BSD or arman vs Holloway after he smokes Charlie olives
 
BSDs top game is nasty. He was on the way to a 10-6 that second round . I don't know how far he will get but he's dangerous if he gets top position.

I think the UFC will try to make him fight Arman because they don't want to spoon-feed strikers to Arman

Rematch Moicano. The way he got absolutely murdered and brutally beaten into a mess in a way that he couldnt even see anymore by frking severly injured Moicano makes him still be like 15 fights out of the title picture lol. Actually when you get beaten up that badly by someone that average you should never even be close to a title discussion anymore like ever...
