Well, there isn't much else for Jacare to do if he gets past Brunson(who is a very good fighter) aside from running up against Rockhold in a rematch.
Brunson is something of a wildcard here because he's still somewhat new to the game and is still in the development stages. His raw skillset is very good and he's putting the right tools into place, but this is a frying pan/fire situation here for him. Brunson is a talent they should be building for the future, he needs a few more years to really nail down the finer points, but he has a bright future if they'd just build his name slowly, instead of cutting him off at the knees.
PS, there is NO WAY Brunson lost that Kendall Grove fight. He took it on short-notice and rode Kendall for the first two rounds and got robbed.
