TJ Grant vs. Jamie Varner
Surging upward in the lightweight division, T.J. Grant notched the biggest win of his career at UFC on Fox 6, a first-round stoppage via elbows against Matt Wiman.
This was a huge victory for Grant, but he’ll probably have to build up his name with one more win before he is given the opportunity to fight a top-five lightweight.
A matchup with Jamie Varner has Fight of the Night written all over it and would be deserving of a spot on the main card of a big event.
Pettis vs. Henderson/Melendez winner
The call is easy here. Pettis should wait and fight the winner of that April bout between Henderson and Melendez.
Glover Teixeira vs. Ryan Bader
Glover Teixeira proved he’s more than just a prospect against Quinton Jackson on Saturday, but his win wasn’t one that makes him deserving of a title shot or even a fight with one of the top contenders in the light heavyweight division.
With a fellow heavy hitter like Ryan Bader coming off of an impressive win at the same event, it would seem to make sense for Teixeira to meet the TUF winner in his next appearance.
