Agreed. UFC probably already has Fitch in mind to fight the winner of GSP vs. Serra/Hughes. Given all the upsets, they probably want to minimize chances that ther preferred matchups don't pan out.
If Fitch fights at UFC 82 and has to fight another to determine #1 contender, then the WW champ from UFC 83 (GSP vs. Serra/Hughes) will be waiting a while for a title defence. We've been on hold for too long already.
I'm holding out for Hughes to beat Serra, GSP to beat Hughes. Then the follow up matches to be Karo vs Hughes for #1 contender and GSP vs. Fitch.
