Sanchez ain't getting no title shot anytime soon. Two big loses on his record he needs to do something about first. Parysian had his chance to fight Jon Fitch to get a title shot, pussied out and wanted "easier competition" first and lost so he is fucked. Swick looked horrible in his first fight at 170lbs and will need at least 2 more wins before he stands any chance. He is fighting Marcus Davis in London next and I'd give Davis a shot before Swick right now. Koscheck needs a big win too after being humbled by GSP. Fitch is already in line for the next title shot and I personally think he really needs to up his game because GSP will tear him apart better than he did Koscheck. Thiago Alves is meant to be getting the next shot after Fitch. Personally I'd consider the third Serra fight first just to make sure you get another money fight out of him before he fights Matt Hughes. If he fights Hughes first and loses, it's gonna be real hard to book the third title fight.
