Who do you want to see get the title shot against Rockhold?

[KONE]

I didn't add Romero because he's suspended. Lol @ the idea of Romero fighting someone on 2 weeks notice anyway. He would collapse due to exhaustion from the walk to the octagon.

I'm voting for Bisping personally. He's been in multiple title eliminators, has a nice win streak going and is coming off of a win against Anderson Silva who is still a very formidable opponent. While it's not an optimal fight considering Rockhold decisively finished him, that is usually the case when fighters pull out of an event that is 2 weeks away. You get sub-optimal choices.

There's also the news that came out with Jacare having a nagging knee injury. He's also on a 2 week suspension. While people are arguing Bisping wouldn't be competitive, how competitive would a fight with a banged up Jacare who just fought be?

Mods, I thought this thread was different than the other threads speculating on who might get the title shot, seeing as I just want to gauge what most people generally think. But if it's not thread worthy, feel free to delete

I have to vote for bisping. After all he's the second man to beat silva in the ufc. I know this doesn't count for much, but personally I want to see it happen just for his tenure to the ufc, and his history with it's middle division.

I clicked other for Yoel Romero. Jacare and Yoel are the only two that make sense; they need to delay the fight. Its not fair to Jacare to make him take a 5 rounder so soon after fighting with such short notice. I'd much rather they delay the title defense for a good fight rather than just throwing someone out there.

Romero is suspended, that's why I didn't add him lol

Bisping is my pick. He's been around forever and I'd be really glad to see him getting a shot at that belt before the end of his carreer.

Rockhold vs Bisping vs Jacare vs Mousasi fatal 4 way match, Machida will come out of nowhere with a steel chair and beat Mousasi up, then Rockhold when he is almost chocking Bisping out, Romero appears with Dana and dana says his suspension was lift, and he goes out there spears Rockhold and wins the title.

I know he is, but considering I don't think anyone should take a title fight on such short notice i'd rather see them wait until July for Yoel over any of your options, i'd be alright with Jacare too but either way it shouldn't happen at 199.

Hmm, I guess whoever is the most ready since I have a feeling some of those people won't be.

 

[qw3rty]

Healthy Jacare, whenever it happens

 

[NightwingBJJ]

Bisping or Jacaré.

 

[skysolo]

I see the UFC saving Rockhold/Weidman 2 for 200 or 201.

 

[BC]

I voted for Bisping, he's been around for 10 years always has been on the cusp of a title shot but he always came up short. He's coming off of the biggest win of his career over Anderson, I know Jacare is a savage but he will get his shot in due time anyways. Give Bisping his shot.

Yoel>jacare>








Bisping

 

[illegalnature]

Mousasi

 

[Headkicktoleg]

1. Jacare
2. Bisping
3. Carlos Condit

Why does anyone have interest in seeing Bisping get this fight? Is it just because they want to see him get humiliated again? If I remember that first fight correctly, Luke dominated and subbed him with ease. And now Luke has gotten better and Bisping is just older.

Mouse doesn't have a single quality win in the UFC. Voting for him is ridiculous.
