He beat the tar out of a very solid fighter in Jake Ellenberger and he had a real close, FOTN performance against the current champ so I don't think he's too far from a title fight. I think the winners of Rory/Woodley and DHK/Lombard are closer than he is but I figure with the right fights Robbie could get a title shot within 18 months.
Personally I would like to see him fight Matt Brown. The guy has a lot of momentum and would be a decent win that could catapult him into a number one contender fight. If he loses then you really legitimize Brown's claim for a title shot. Personally I think Robbie would maul Brown and I think he could beat DHK and Rory in a rematch. I don't think he'd fight Woodley or Lombard unless it was for a title since they train with him but I think he has a decent chance against either though they're definitely tougher fights for him in my eyes.
