By booking this fight, the UFC seems to be setting the stage for a Barao/McDonald interim title match. Either that or McDonald gets an easier fight than he should or waits. I had Wineland & Pickett @ #2 & #3, on my BW contenders' list.

Really good looking card. They now have 10 fights. Need 1 more big fight as a co-main and then 1 more undercard. Depending on what the co-main is, I might have to agree with you Mike.

But Fox 5 might be even better. 155 has the bigger names but Fox 5 I think will have better fights.

Damn...It's gonna suck that all of my favorite guys at 135 are going to be fighting each other in the future with Michael McDonald, Wineland, Pickett, and Dom Cruz.

There are going to be a lot of great lighter weight fights coming up. The end of the year and start of next year are going to be exciting as long as the injury bug stays away.

One of my faves, Michael Mayday McDonald should hopefully fight at the beginning of the year!

Eddie's probably my favorite BW contender right now, he normally puts on a good fight. I also think he's got the skill set to beat some of the best out there. I'll take him by decision. Would have loved to have seen Wineland/McDonald too.

Title Shot?

Predictions: 7 of 12 Winners, 5 Perfect, 500 Points   |   Tied for 97th

very awsome. i believe the winner should absolutely recieve a title shot. if you agree follow me and i will return the favor. i think the fans should have some influence over whoe does and does not get these title shots. a certain upcoming light heavyweight bout comes to mind...

Wineland dec. can't see Pickett outstriking him or getting him to the mat.

Pickett is good in the pocket. Better then Wineland in that aspect (IMO), as of right now I'm picking him for that reason. But I guarantee I'll change this pick atleast 5 times before the fight.

I don't think either guy deserves a title shot with a win here. 

Wineland would be on a 2 fight win streak, 1 of those wins being against Jorgensen who was coming off a loss and hasn't really looked too impressive in the UFC. 

Pickett would be on a 3 fight win streak, but again, 1 of those wins was against Damacio Page who hasn't won since 2009. 

I think the winner of this fight should get Michael McDonald, winner of that fight gets title shot.

I think they're either gonna make Barao/McDonald or maybe they're starting to get smart and keeping a worthy fighter on standby. McDonald vs. either Pickett or Wineland would also be a great fight.

IF there are no injuries, McDonald should be lined up for the next title shot (interim or otherwise). Have the Pickett /Wineland winner face the winner of Easton/Dillashaw. Only other options would be Faber or Bowles, neither of whom even has a single win streak.
