    DFW makes it sound like since Jacare's manager texted him first, he gets it.

    There is enough time until the proposed MSG fight to book Weidman/Jacare and then book the winner against Rockhold in NYC. Rockhold could rematch Belfort in the interim?

    Sounds good to me. Of course, that assumes the champ can stay healthy!

    The rankings system has really cleared up how title shots are awarded...

    Apparently Luke Rockhold has been told he's getting the fight, too, and is pissed off and doesn't know what's going on.

    It seems they may be waiting on a the result of NYC/MSG.

    The Chris doesn't have a preference but thinks Jacare is more dangerous.

    Here's a novel idea... Have Jacare and Rockhold fight each other again for the title shot.

    How about a three way dance with Yoel Romero as the special guest referee?

    Why stop there? Add Romero and Kennedy so it can be a fatal 4 way and have Chael Sonnen be the ref!

    Jacare vs Rockhold makes too much sense for the UFC to do. Make the winner the next matchup for Chris and have the loser a fight or two away from a title shot...not that difficult.
