He's 26? What the f***i just realized Blaydes is just 26 years old. So, he's basically got 14 years left to realize his potential at heavyweight lol

Meh I didn't care either, the interim belt is just a promotional tool, at this point it's basically just the "#1 Contender Belt".
Lol Luke wanted nothing to do with him when he tried to talk to him after the fight
Kinda looks good one Rockhold seems a bit cocky. I wonder what the guys at AKA think of him after leaving.
Dana already said Romero gets Whittaker next.
I'd like to see Jacare vs. Weidman to determine the #1 contender.
Why not Bisping vs Whitaker in London for the title?
Romero can face the winner
Bisping should be ahead of both of them in the rankings
Bisping just got choked out by GSP and then knocked out by Gastelum in a span of three weeks so he’s not even in the title conversation anymore. They’ll give him a winnable fight against a lower ranked fighter and then he’ll retire.
Hard to create a tournament when the timing will be off with everyone.
Rockhold won't be ready for awhile, and to be honest it wouldn't be surprising if he moved up to LHW soon.
Branch and Santos are already fighting each other in April and Costa is fighting Uriah Hall on the same card. Easy enough to have the two winners square off.
Carlos Jr is fighting Tim Boetsch, also in April.
Weidman, Gastelum, Jacare, Romero, and of course Whittaker are the ones on the side. If you do Romero v Whittaker 2, then you are left with Weidman, Gastelum, and Jacare. Weidman just beat Gastelum, so it's probably Weidman/Jacare that makes the most sense with Gastelum getting shafted.
No amount of training is going to fix his glass jaw. He's been exposed twice in his last 3 fights now, and I don't think it's going to get any better for him going forward either. If anything, moving up a class will only expose it more, imo.
Between Romero and Whittaker, they've essentially cleared out the division. The rest of the top of the division needs a few fights to rebuild their status. Personally, this is where the UFC should do a tournament because there's no one close with a claim to get a title shot over Romero and the division is in serious need of a buildup.
have Whittaker vs Romero II
and a two card tourny between Rockhold, Jacare, Weidman, Gastelum, Paulo Costa, Thiago Santos, Carlos Junior and Branch. Use the first card with all the tourny members fighting. Have the semi with the 4 remaining members and final on the 2nd card. No excessive dragging for 6+ months or a year.
