White: Next middleweight contender still up in the air
Dana White: “So we’re in a position right now where we’ve got two guys who looked unbelievable who could fight next for the title. It’s a good problem to have.”
Both won impressively at UFC on FOX 15 with both making claims they deserve the next title fight, but Dana White said it could be either and they will have to wait and see how the next middleweight title fight goes to see how it all plays out:
Luke looked unbelievable tonight, White told MMAjunkie. Look at what he did, and who he did it to. Beating Machida like that is a big deal, and people are probably are going to say, ‘Jacare’ fought Chris Camozzi again. Let me tell you what, Chris Camozzi stepped up on six days’ notice to take this fight, and I agree with Chris Camozzi – he’s not the same fighter he was two years ago, and for a guy like ‘Jacare,’ ‘Jacare’ had everything to lose and nothing to gain. He’s fighting the same guy, he’s not ranked – he didn’t complain about it once; he went right in there and he handled his business.
So we’re in a position right now where we’ve got two guys who looked unbelievable who could fight next for the title. It’s a good problem to have.
