As we all know full well, White’s promises should always be taken with a gallon of salt. Just ask Miesha Tate (and many others).
But as it currently stands, according to White, Miocic’s disposal of Arlovski has him in the front of the line to meet the victor of February’s rematch between champion Fabricio Werdum and Cain Velasquez at UFC 196. However, in this what-have-you-done-for-me-most-recently sport, Miocic’s top contender moniker is quite fickle.
White’s promises after a fun night of fights should always be followed by the dreaded “unless.”
What if Velasquez returns the favor and beats Werdum to reclaim his throne in similar fashion as Werdum did to capture the belt in their initial encounter?
