Wow, I guess with Benavidez turning down the shot, Morga is next in line.

This is interesting

Benson Henderson ‏@BensonHenderson

In case u missed it, we gonna have TWO @ufc belts @TheMMALAB...(THIRD is only 9-12 months away too)...CONGRATS @chicanojohn on title shot


Who is the 3rd belt hes talking about . Yaotzin Meza got dominated , could Varner be in talks to move to 145 ? I know effy isnt getting back in the UFC and if the UFC was bringing Gruetzemacher over he would be more than a year from a title shot.

@Curtwag I think he's talking about Zingano. She's fighting Tate, and the winner of that fight is probably in line for a shot at Rousey (yeah, I know, Rousey still has to get through Carmouche).

Also on the card:

Browne/Gonzaga and Tate/Zingano.

Starting to shape up nicely ... though I'd rather Moraga got another fight or two under his belt before he got the shot because I'd love for him to be champ, but you never know, Jon Jones was also considered not ready for a beast like Shogun back in the day :)))

I like Mighty Mouse, I really do, but Moraga, man, I really want him to be champ ...

@curtwag84, lol! Yup, I guess that knee-jab thingy really left it's mark on them :)

Nice that they already have a fight lined up for Mighy Mouse. He probably dominates Moraga but it's nice to see him fight someone besides Benavidez or Dodson.

Love this fight. Kind of odd that they are gonna put it on a TUF Finale. Oh well, free title fight.

Cool, I like to see the champs staying active and defending their titles a lot, and I like the fight as well.

They are putting Barao vs. McDonald on Fuel tv, so this really doesn't surprise me. John Moraga has had 2 fights at flyweight and they were both prelims, there was no way that they would be put on FOX or PPV.

I was hoping morgaga would get 1 more top guy before he got the title shot, but I have no qualms with the match up. I see great things for Moraga in the future, regardless if he wins or loses

Any other weight class, Moraga would need another fight. But there aren't many top flyweights. MM, McCall, Benavidez and Moraga. Then there's a huge drop off to the other half of the top ten with the likes of Cariaso, Gaudinot, Formiga, Lineker and Useless

Glad that he is getting right back in there so quick. With nine divisions, we are going to start to see title fights a lot more often.

I'm happy Moraga is getting this chance. @AnAlias I didn't know Benavidez got offered a title shot. Do you know why he turned it down?
