He needs to win a couple more fights if he want's a shot at Penn, he's a little behind on that line right now. After the winner of Huerta-Florian the one person that really comes to mind is Aurelio, he's a bad match up for anyone, including Penn.
I'm a big Aurelio fan, and I'd love to see this fight...

...but ultimately, I think Penn picks him apart standing, and has too good of TDD to let it go to the ground if he doesn't want it to. And even if it did, it would be fairly even on the ground. And a huge win for fans.
