"It makes sense that he would be next, yes, that he would be next. Who knows how all this stuff is gonna play out... Even talking about it doesn't make sense because, first of all, Chris still has to fight Vitor, and whoever wins has to come out uninjured, which hasn't been easy to do lately, and then we have to make sure Luke stays healthy. We'll see what happens with Weidman and Vitor and we will go from there."

-During a media scrum in Latin America, UFC President Dana White talked about the UFC Middleweight Title picture, and why he believes Luke Rockhold is probably next in line (MMAFighting.com).

Penick's Analysis: With the numerous injury issues that continue to plague the organization's biggest fights, they've got to be prepared for any and all scenarios. Rockhold challenging the Chris Weidman-Vitor Belfort winner certainly seems like plan A, and they'll have to adjust should any of the parties involved not be prepared to fight in a timely manner after this month's UFC 187 event. Should all remain healthy, though, Rockhold's getting that shot.
