John Dodson vs. Jussier Da Silva- official #1 contender fight

http://www.cagepotato.com/ufc-booking-orgy-demian-maia-vs-rick-story-john-dodson-vs-jussier-da-silva-more/

Demian Maia‘s welterweight debut at UFC 148 was over before it really began, thanks to a poorly timed muscle spasm
suffered by Dong Hyun Kim. But the former middleweight title contender
will be getting another chance to make an impression against Rick Story. Their bout is scheduled to take place at UFC 153: Aldo vs. Koch (October 13th, Rio de Janeiro), a card that is quickly stacking up with top Brazilian talent. Story recently outpointed newcomer Brock Jardine at UFC on FX: Maynard vs. Guida, which snapped a two-fight losing streak against Charlie Brenneman and Martin Kampmann.

Speaking of Brenneman, “The Spaniard” has booked his return fight after being choked out by Erick Silva in June. He’ll be appearing at UFC 151: Jones vs. Henderson(September 1st, Las Vegas) against TUF 11 competitor — and former Crocodile Hunter bodyguard — Kyle Noke, who is coming off of two losses at middleweight and will be making his welterweight debut.

In other booking news…

- After winning all of his first three UFC appearances, Tristar gym product Francis Carmont will compete on his home turf against Tom Lawlor, at UFC 154: St. Pierre vs. Condit (November 17th, Montreal.) Lawlor is coming off a 50-second Knockout of the Night performance against Jason MacDonald in May.

- The UFC has confirmed more fights for their UFC on FX 5: Browne vs. Bigfoot card (October 5th, Minneapolis). Notably, a heavyweight matchup between Matt Mitrione and Rob Broughton
— originally scheduled for this weekend’s UFC on FOX 4 card, until
Broughton pulled out due to injury — has been re-set for the UFC on FX 5
lineup. Broughton has dropped consecutive decisions to Travis Browne
and Phil De Fries, while Mitrione will try to bounce back from his
decision loss to Cheick Kongo at UFC 137. And on the other end of the
fighter-size spectrum, TUF 14 bantamweight winner John Dodson will make his latest flyweight appearance against much-hyped newcomer Jussier da Silva, in a match that could very well produce the #1 contender in the 125-pound division.

Dodsons hype train is about to be derailed

I don't like Dodson, but I think he takes this.

Sweet matchup. Da Silva should take this.

We all knew this would be a #1 contender matchup. But now it's "official". Winner gets title shot.
