During this time period, Penn beat Sherk and two or three other LWs. He decides to move up to WW and the UFC gives him a title shot. Penn vs GSP goes down in October with a victorious GSP. Thiago Alves keeps winning and earns a title shot. Fight happens January 2010, GSP wins. Diego Sanches goes on an unbeaten streak and beats Fitch in a remath, gets title shot -- they fight in May of 2010.
That is one reasonable scenario that takes us two years into the future. At that point there could be two or three more guys who could pop up that could occupy GSP for another year. During that year another fighter could come pop up. That gives GSP 7-9 credible defenses. |
lol! Way to work that out! Rep'd!
That is a possible scenario and reasonable one, I don't think that will happen, but possible none the less.
