So it seems he's been guaranteed a TS with a win.

Does he fight Whittaker or does he fight Israel/Gastellum winner?

I'm assuming he'll have to sit out. You'll have an interim title holder and a genuine title holder. Jacare, provided of course he wins, will be the odd one out and will likely face the winner towards the end of the year, or early next year if Whittaker keeps to his stated timeline of expecting to be ready to fight in August.
 
Neither, he gets Anderson Silva. The timing doesn't line up and they'll try to make some type of exciting main event to keep him happy. His chance at a title shot is slim. If they don't make the Anderson fight he'll get thrown to a couple wolves like Cannonier, Costa, or The Joker. He's older, he's not extremely popular, and the UFC is all about riding Hype Waves, not giving good fighters what they deserve.
 
Robert. After he beats gastelum to unify the title. ImHo

They could do a Nog vs Mir/Couture vs Lesnar situation.

Nog was the interim champ (by beating Big Tim) and ended up losing to Mir in one of the best submission sequences EVER.

Couture was the champ and ended up getting his head dribbled on the Canvas by Brock.

Then Brock vs Mir unified the belt.

They did that instead of just Couture vs Big Nog.

Maybe doubt it though especially if Adesanya wins the interim, no way would the UFC pass up Adesanya versus Whittaker first. Kiwi Aussie would be an easy story line and headliner for either an Aussie or Kiwi card.
 
Purpose of interim titles is to guarantee a shot at the real title when the champ becomes eligible to fight again, which means Jarare isn't getting a title shot.

He might get it once Bobby fights the winner of Kelvin - Israel.
