Deserves the title shot more than Colby. You don't like him but on merit it's true. What has Colby done lately except lose title fights and beat Masvidal on a losing streak?

if Aljo loses, does the UFC give him an immediate rematch or does it go to O'Malley?

Leon already merked Belal. He was well in control of their bout until the eyepoke happened.

I think they would give it to Sean, but I think Aljo would deserve a rematch.
