Who deserves the next crack at Aldo?

Koch out with injury so he will be left of the list.

Zombie hands down.

Poirier.

If I could pick another fighter I would say Barboza to FW, or Barao to FW.

After Bendo beats Frankie, I want Frankie and Aldo at 145.

Poirier has the better body of work since the WEC closed, in fact he has the better body of work through the last few fights.

Both get decimated in equally brutal fashion

Yeah but someone has to fight Aldo right? He can't wait forever.

Hioki was supposed to get brutalized by Sandro. Didn't happen. Was supposed to be exposed fighting in the states in the UFC. Didn't happen. He has been the most logical fight for the #1 FW spot for a while. Of course Aldo will crush him though. If Palaszewski beats Hioki though in Japan, he should get Aldo. Piorer and Koch a good win over a guy like Nunes or Mendes away from the title fight.

None of them seem bring me any interest to be honest. Hioki is much better than he showed vs. Roop. The shot is all his if he has a good showing with a W vs. Bart.

As much as i like Frankie, i kind of hope he loses to Bendo so he can drop and give this guy a fight.

When do people start calling for Cruz to move up and fight Aldo? He's a big BW and has fought a big portion of his career at FW and was successful outside of a loss to Faber. Though the Bantamweight field is looking stronger than the FW field so Cruz has good options after Faber...if he wins..i'm picking Faber.

Zombie might be 1 or 2 fights away really. Unless he talks his way into a fight, that seems more important than the fights themselves these days.

I have more of an interest in Koch-Aldo than either of these 2 for sure. Hioki should have the shot if he can beat Bart though

If Hioki beats Bart then he should get it.

I like the idea of Bart getting the shot if he beats Hioki also. He is a very big and aggressive FW and could do some damage against just about anyone he fights if he gets going. It would be a quick ascension but it could be good and it could create time for other contender possibilities to play out.

I agree with you, but I just don't see it happening. If Hioki loses they will probably give Zombie the title shot and make Bart fight Dustin.

Where will the Nunes-Siver winner be in this?

On Zombie's level at the moment I think.

+1 on Hioki if he beats Bart.

I'll sponsor you.

I'll be Aldo's tune up fight, considering i'm a LHW it would probably be his most impressive win to date...only for Anderson Silva money though.

I'll fight him for Ed "Short Fuse" Herman money.

I'm assuming you are talking about Anderson "Braddock" Silva and I will follow the same payment route...which means your check is in the mail. Any issues with receiving payment needs to be directed at yakuza@japan.org
