Vera was the only one being talked about a little more by UFC, in attempts to dispel people thinking he was just a sacrifice to Shogun (which is what they intended on him being)
But hands down, the person who deserves a shot at the title next is getting it.
The only thing I'm worried about is the Jones Hendo fight right now, if Hendo beats Jones that would be amazing.
But if Hendo fights the Dragon, it has the possibility of being one of the most annoying to watch fights in history....Machido would not want to trade with the guy who knocked Bones out, so he would revert to his evasive(backing up a lot) strategy, and Hendo wouldn't want to give him anything to counter.
Oh damn would that suck......
