Of course you put IA vs Jacare on the same card as the title fight (more than likely in Australia).
1. IA from the region
2. U maintain a VIABLE title fight should someone drop out
3. IA vs Jacare is a true No1 contender. Beating lower half of the top 10 fighter in Brunson doesn't make u a title contender, sorry IA.

Yea I agree and normally have been an advocate for true #1 status. You can make claims for both to fight each other or get title shot. That said, I feel just on G status and all he’s put in I’d like to see Jacare finally get the UFC title shot. He’s just been too damn good for too long. I thought the Romero fight was a draw or being closer to siding with Jacare and I definitely thought he edged out Gastelum too. Not sure how many wars he has in him. IA has plenty of time. If Jacare loses to AI it mighty be an end to a HOF great Who never got the shot. I’d f---ing hate that for him. Also, even if he won, which he could, he could take more damage. At this point I think every war takes away from future performances. Give Jacare the spot.

I like this. At first I thought it was too much when considering the match up... but Whittaker earned his shot by KOing Jacare (unexpectedly in the eyes of most people). It is a big jump up but there is no clear cut no.1 contender. Jacare has lost 2 of his last 4 fights. Those 2 are against KG and RW. I think another solid win warrants a rematch with either. Adesanya provides just that. And if Adesanya wins, he is undoubtedly the number 1 contender. I think the UFC needs to get out of the Weidman/Rockhold/Jacare/Romero booking cycle at the top.
