I think Roger deserves the #1 contender spot due to his recent achievements but I don't think him or Kenny have a chance to beat Penn or Sherk

I would say 40-60 kenny vs sherk & 30-70 vs Penn
Huerta would be 20-80 vs sherk & 25-75 vs Penn
I think Huerta has a better chance vs Sherk than Penn

Look at sherks fight vs Franca. He got caught with big knees rushing in

Look at Huertas win over Guida. Caught him with a big knee rushing in

People need to get off his nuts till he proves something!! Just like Nate!!.... Hell why not Manny G since we are trying to tout untested fighters!! Because Nate is a better Marketing tool than Manny even though Manny will run through Diaz...! Maynard needs 2 quality wins before he can be considered as do most of the LW's
this is a game of Ws... gotta get those wins, son! im not a huerta fan but you gotta respect the win streak. talk to joe silva if you dont like the matchups. edgar lost. he needs to claw his way back.

Not taking anything away from Kenny, but some would argue that his win over Din Thomas was because Din's knee gave out...

I gave him the 20-80 because he was getting taken down at will by Clay plus they were throwing bombs at each other. I don't think Sherk would take that same route that caly did, he would most likely control him on the ground the whole fight till the gets the win

and vs B.J I gave him a little bit more of a chance because B.J will stand up with him more that sherk would IMO

Tyson's eeked out a few questionable decisions, whereas Florian has been on a tear since his title shot 18 months ago. Florian is more sellable as a fighter at the moment too, that's why he's in a #1 contender fight coming up. Plus Tyson has a huge obsticle in the form of Aurellio coming up. I honestly see Maximus winning that fight.

I just really wanted to see Griffin/Huerta at some point. Man that'd be an intense fight.

I like Griffin a lot but he hasnt earned a shot just yet. He is one, maybe two more wins away. I see him fighting Maximus or Nate next and if he wins then he will get a shot.
