I agree that Stevenson and Guillard are both up there. They're both getting close to deserving a shot. I don't know who would be a contender at this point in the Lightweight class. I'd have to guess Stevenson, Guillard and Spencer Fisher are up there.

I say:

Stevenson vs Guillard

Winner vs Fisher for #1 Contender

Winner vs Sherk

But obviously, this would put Sherk's first defence a ways down the road. So I guess they should see who of the three have the best chance/would make the better fight against Sherk.

Personally, I'd equally like to see Stevenson or Guillard get a title shot.

I dont think Sherk is going to fight next untill feb.

Just my opinion, maybe jan.

I personally think it will be against Joe Stevenson (if he wins this next fight).

Or Spencer Fischer, reason i say not joe stevenson is hed only have like 2 months to train after his next fight.

But we'll see eh?

lol your right, i almost forgot about hermes franca. he should probably get a title shot because he won at ufc 61 and 62.

If stevenson couldnt beat Neer I doubt he could beat Guillard. I understand that Neer did catch Guillard but I still see Guillard as a better fighter. All the best fighters get caught eventually.

I would love to see Melvin fight Sherk, but he needs to fight someone who is already established in the UFC first, like Stevenson. His shot will be a ways down the road still.
It is still too early for me to pass judgement on Joe just yet, I want to see how he performs in his next fight, and then go from there.
Mark Hominick should fight Melvin for the number 1 spot, and George should fight Fisher...

i think too many of these TUF guys win one or two fights and get thrown in the title picture. Joe and Melvin should at least win 2 more fights then have a crack at Sherk. Both on a good day stand a decent chance. When is Sam Stout fighting next.....Fisher should be in the mix after anothe win also. Florian may also be there but prob not for 9-12 months after just losing. Jens need to get back on the horse also and fight soon - hopefully UFC 66.
