Well, we're going to have to pick someone to fight Silva if Bisping wins. Based on Silva's normal fight frequency, we should expect a title fight sometime around April/May. I don't see it going to Belfort if he wins as it is still a little too close to his last match with Silva but it would put him much closer in line. It would be the path of least internet bitching if Bisping loses because the winner of Boetsch/Wiedman would have the best claim to the title shot.
If Bisping wins, however, then you've got a cloudy situation. You aren't going to have Bisping vs Boetsch/Wiedman as that pushes the title shot back to somewhere in August/September with how early the UFC announces title fights. The other guy is going to be in limbo as there won't be another fighter close enough to a title shot to give it to him (ie. if Bisping gets the shot and Wiedman loses, the guy who beats him wouldn't get the title shot). My gut tells me that if Bisping wins, they will give him the title shot. I acknowledge it sucks for Wiedman but he can only be looked over so many times.
We have to wait until January for this whole situation to sort itself out anyways, as anything can happen in a fight.
