Much easier said than done

Most fights end up on the ground; and when you're fighting someone as skilled as Nog whose main focus is to get you there, you're going to end up there with him sooner or later, especially in a 25-minute fight.

Yep, that factored into my choice. Any time you have a question like this, the next scheduled title fight has to inherently be given some weight. LW champ just fought; MW fight isn't on the near horizon; WW fight is scheduled but later than the LHW fight; and HW will be later still.
That, combined with the fact that I don't view Rampage as "mythic" as I view Penn, GSP and Silva (and to a slightly lesser extent Big Nog) plus the fact that he's in a stacked division and I think Big Nog will beat Mir, all makes me say LHW belt is the next one to change hands.
