“When the fans speak, we listen. Whoever scores the best win, whoever gets the fans excited... will get the winner of Jones-Henderson, it is down to what these four guys do Saturday night in the Octagon. Winning isn’t enough; they’ve got to win impressively. Any one of these four fighters can take things into their own hands and make a title shot happen.” - Dana White
Looks like the fan reaction to Dana White's statement that the winner of Shogun/Vera would be getting the next title shifted the plans of the UFC. Now whoever not only wins, but wins the most impressively gets the next shot.
In my opinion they should have this just be a 4 man mini tournament for the next title shot. Jon Jones has already beat and finished all four fighters who have a chance for the next shot and none of them have great records in their last few fights. Of course if Jones loses to Henderson that changes things a lot and opens up all kinds of possibilities.
