At this point i think Florian deserves it more if he beats Huerta but if Tyson can keep getting some big wins he will definatley get a shot soon.

Well, I don't know if he deserves a title shot or not.

To be honest with you I think he has been on the receiving end of some very suspect decision wins. Especially in his fight with Clay. Clay won that fight. His last fights have been very, very close. Kenny has indeed finished his fights.

That is not to say that Tyson wouldn't be a great fight for who ever is the champion. There are a lot of possible fights for BJ at this weight. I would love to see him fight Tyson. I think it would be a slug fest, with BJ knocking him out in the first round. I would also love to see BJ vs. Clay. That would probly be a longer fight. With clay going for the take downs.

BJ has three fights at 155 then he should move up to 170.

Tyson, Clay, and Kenny. Maybe Huerta too. Huerta would be destroyed though. He takes too many shots to the face and BJ would knock him out. He is tough, but that would go against him in a fight with BJ. BJ would light his face up with hard combos and he would be out.

3 fights then up to 170 BJ. For a fight agaist Hughes then GSP.

Tyson has wins over Guida, Tibau, and Tavares. NOT TO MENTION he's the only guy to beat Urijah Faber.

I personally think that's a little more impressive then Florian's UFC outtings. Who I have as #3

I respectfully disagree.

Griffin won a extremely questionable (imo bullshit) decision over Guida and also lost to Edgar. He also never finishes fights or wins a fight in a dominant fashion.
Kenny has beaten everybody he's faced since the loss to Sherk and if he gets by Huerta he deserves the shot.
