I 100 percent absolutely guaruntee that the winner of Page/Wand will get the next shot. The reason being that this fight is happening before the Machida vs. Silva fight. If Machida vs Silva would have happened at UFC 89 as scheduled, then it might be a different story.

Machida and Silva are both still young and "relatively" unknown/unpopular compared to Wand, Page, Franklin, Hendo. I think the UFC will look to capitalize on the older more in prime talent such as Wand and Page and save the Machida's and Silva's for another time.

Summary: Wand/Page gets next title shot. Machida vs Silva gets second shot or the loser of Forrest/Evans.
