Romero is out after having surgery.Strip DC of the LHW belt as we all know he will never defend it again. Do Gus vs Romero for the belt.
Incredibly dumb fight for Gus to take, but I'd like to see it.
He hasn’t fought in 14 months. I don’t think he should turn down any fight and expect a title shot in the near future.Incredibly dumb fight for Gus to take, but I'd like to see it.
Yeah there are many situations where I understand someone turning down a replacement fight, but Gus needs to fight anybody they'll put in front of him right now. Looked good last time against Teixeira but that momentum is gone after his absence. He's gotta get back in there asap.He hasn’t fought in 14 months.

Even against a smaller heavyweight would be good imo and theoretically not affect his LHW ranking.Yeah there are many situations where I understand someone turning down a replacement fight, but Gus needs to fight anybody they'll put in front of him right now.

Some fights you can turn down though - guys like OSP/Latifi/Anderson give Gus a name win and are posssibly even stylistically easier fights. Apart from a paycheck, Gus gets absolutely nothing from beating Rountree and it's a dangerous fight.He hasn’t fought in 14 months.

This..... That Brock fight won't take place until next year, DC fighting Gus should be next on the listIf DC is serious about defending the LHW strap before the end of the year, make the Gus fight happen. Much prefer that to DC/Shogun. Or if DC is planning on relinquishing the LHW belt, then do Gus/Shogun for a fun but less than deserving title fight.
As soon as I posted that I realized that I think Smith will probably beat Shogun so that plan may not work. If he does win though, I think it makes sense.This..... That Brock fight won't take place until next year, DC fighting Gus should be next on the list
pull shogun from his fightAs soon as I posted that I realized that I think Smith will probably beat Shogun so that plan may not work. If he does win though, I think it makes sense.
i like thisPulling Shogun out of to put him against Gus makes most sense tbh
Anthony Smith is super risky for him to take on and doesn't move him up at all
As much as I like Khalil, I don't think he should get it based solely off of being 3 of 6 in total UFC contests
Gus/Shogun II makes a clear, No. 1 contender
