Dana sort of changed his mind and now whoever wins Vera-Shogun and Machida-Bader the most convincingly will get the titleshot.
I'd like to see Shogun face Jones again, that flying knee is what screwed up Shogun right from the beginning...would be hilarious if Jones just did the same thing, though.

Same goes for Machida, I hope he did some guillotine defense.

But people need to stop looking past Hendo...remember the title shot is against the Jones/Hendo WINNER, not against Jon Jones.

Honestly, it's hard for me to get real excited about any rematch involving Jones. Machida is the only one who really proposes an interesting match up to me and Jones solved that puzzles pretty quickly; Shogun is one of my favorite fighters but I think that stylistically Jones just trounces him. Seeing Jones against Gus could be a very fun fight though.

Since the UFC has no ladder system, I say just to shake things up a bit, give the current champions no name fighters but who happen to be really good, and in the UFC already.

Weidman needs to face Silva, period, he is undefeated and in the UFC, why the hell not let him have a shot, so what if he doesn't have a big name.

Gustaffson needs to get the next title shot, simply based on his record in the UFC.

Silva's camp doesn't want the Weidman fight. At this point, Anderson is about making big money before he retires. A fight with Weidman doesn't offer that.

well, that was one of the best fights I've ever seen. Crazy that it ended in submission after all the punches they threw

I hope this main event isn't going to be as big of a trolling as I think it is.

Total Lose-Lose for Bader... He doesn't push the action, Machida gets loose and picks him apart from the outside... He tries getting in close, and that happens.

Ah, yeah, I stopped following the UFC consistently before he made that change, so I wasn't used to all main events being 5 rounds. The ones I had seen were title matches.
