    Feels like momentum has been behind that for a few weeks so not so surprising.

    It's a more interesting fight (for me) than Werdum/JDS 2.

    Still holding out hope that JDS/Reem happens.

    Lol werdum vs arlovski being a title fight in 2015 is such a joke... The HW division is awful.

    Belfort should go back to HW. Reduce/reuse/recycle and all that.

    I think JDS/Overeem is on deck but JDS is out until November/December?

    According to DFW, Stipe is also in the running for the title shot.

    That makes sense too, but IMO to create more matchups AA makes sense because we don't know how long this resurgence will last for and if he faces any other top 5 HW he could lose and then the UFC loses another potential title fight. If AA fights for the title and loses he can still match up with another losing top 5 HW. With the lack of depth and prospects at HW AA vs Werdum makes the most sense for drawing out interesting matchups at HW IMO.
