Frankie may be passed his prime, but I'm guessing he won't stop angling for a title shot, especially since he knows he has the name to get some main events, especially if there are last-minute change-ups (a la faber).

If he loses it might set him up to fight Garbrandt; that could be promoted like crazy.
