However in the mean time there doesn't seem to be an obvious contender or contender fight.
Little is known of what AA is doing next (hopefully he's not beening held back for a title shot). He is the only guy on a win streak other than Vera.
Vera is still dealing with his management problems and we don't have a return date.
Werdum lost to AA so he is out of the equation (and again little is known when he is returnning!)
Sylvia is rumoured to be back in October so he could be a possibility in a #1 contender fight
None of the other HW's are close to a title shot.
Personaly I hope they are waiting on Vera to sort things out and then will have AA v Vera in October or November for the #1 contender

The way I see it if the UFC is successful in singing Fedor, he gets the UFC HW champ for a unification HW title fight.
If not, then: If Randy beats Gonzaga, they're likely to go with Randy\Arlovski next, but if Gonzaga beats Randy, then I'm thinking Gonzaga\Sylvia.
As far as Big Nog and Crocp, assuming Crocop beats Kongo, I see the UFC matching them up in December of January with the winner getting the next title shot (late summer 08) but again.
