155 is definitely the deepest division right now in my opinion.

If Henderson beats Miller, I think Dana would have to then do Guida/Henderson before Benson gets a title shot considering Guida would hold a win over the last guy to beat Henderson. As a result of an outcome like that, I think Melvin would be given the nod to be number 1 contender if he beat Lauzon.

If Miller wins, I wouldn't be surprised if he got an outright title shot.

I don't think Dana has much faith in Clay Guida as a legit threat to the champion right now, otherwise he would have named Guida next in line. I feel like a Guida/Siver match up is next with Melvin fighting the winner of that fight assuming Miller beats Henderson and is named number 1 contender.
