Given Alan Belcher's last great performance, is it time yet to give him a long-awaited step-up in his competition level?  He's been fighting in the UFC since 2006.

I say give him the winner of that fight or the winner of the Bisping/Boetsch fight

I'd truly enjoy watching Belcher mess up Michael Bisping!  Really!

In fact, I'd truly enjoy watching ANYBODY mess up Michael Bisping.  He's annoying in his ego.

the winner of Belfort vs Wand sure, not Bisping vs Boetsch. Belcher hasn't really beaten any of the top tier fighters and needs to work his way up, he took out a top 15 now give him a fringe top 10 maybe Okami if he wins his next match, Munoz vs Weidman loser is another way to go.

I would like the Belfort/Wand winner vs Belcher...To be honest I see Belcher making quick work of Wanderlei and Vitor would be a tougher fight, but I'd pick Belcher via stoppage

Vitor would be a great challenge for Belcher, but I don't see him struggling with Wandy.  Would be an excellent matchup assuming Vitor wins.

belcher is in his prime too. 28 years old. i agree with nik lust in that the akiyama decision was not good. i remember that fight and akiyama could barely walk to the middle of the cage to hear the decision b/c he got hit with so many leg kicks. it was a great fight too.

Belcher should fight the winner of the Bisping/Boetsch fight and the winner of Vitor/Wandy should fight the winner of Stann/Lombard

Well when WAND beats Vitor ... THATS RIGHT! I dont see them giving him Belcher. 

I think Belcher v winner of Boetsch/Bisping sounds good, Bisping is ******* awesome, will beat Boetsch, will beat Belcher, WILL be MW champion.
