Not until GSP v. Serra and Alves v. Karo gets sorted out will the UFC decide what to do with the WW match ups.
In my opinion...This is how I would assume it would shake out...
I think if GSP wins against Serra, they set up Serra v. Hughes, Fitch v. GSP (for the title), and Kos v Karo/Alves winner for next title shot....Leaving Sanchez v Karo/Alves loser.
If Serra wins....Serra v Fitch, Kos v. Hughes, GSP v. Karo/Alves winner, Sanchez v. the loser.
Thats just how I would assume things would shake out. Doubt Sachez gets that fight with Kos right now...He hasn't earned it yet...
And probably a bad idea for him to want to fight Kos already...Taking all the personal hate everyone has for each fighter out of the equation....It's a bad match up for Sanchez. Kos's boxing is better, he's a little bit naturally bigger and stronger, and he dictates where the fight takes place. His boring ass loss to GSP and TKO win over Haezlett was nothing but a confidence boost for him. I see him handling Diego in a rematch fight now. Especially right now because Sanchez will be looking for the "homerun" in a rematch and I could see him getting caught...
IMO, Sanchez is cementing him self as the gatekeeper of the top 5 UFC ww's.
1. Serra
2. GSP
3. Fitch
4. Hughes
5. Kos
