Technically speaking, Justin should be 1 win away from a title shot. Dana/new ownership doesn't operate by logic though since they are on a requirement to churn out 1 thousand events per yearIt will also be interesting to see who they match up Gaethje with next. Maybe winner of Iaquinta/Cowboy since it would make sense rankings-wise but this is the UFC we are talking about lol.
They'll throw him in with the next available. I could see Dana doing Cowboy a favor by granting him a title shot should he beat Iaquinta. Dana could use Cowboy as leverage on Conor and also the Max/Dustin winner
If Iaquinta wins, and is uninjured, I could easily see Justin vs Iaquinta. Otherwise Anthony Pettis is available even though he said he wants to stay at 170. Tony and Nate are out there but I doubt they'd come back to fight Justin
