If Barboza beats Kevin Lee, does that mean Poirier is the next man to get the TS?

With Ferguson out, I think only 2 guys are good options for the TS right now: Lee and Poirier.

So if Barboza (who just got destroyed by Khabib) dominates Lee, does Poirier get the next TS?

Alvarez is a decent option too, coming off a win and an NC (where he sort of got the KO lol) vs 1 win for Lee if he beats Barbie.

Underground King for 2-time champ!
 
Would definitely make it clearer for Poirier but he should be next anyway if Ferg isn't ready. Lee would just be on a one fight win streak if he beats Barboza anyway. And not like he defeated a whose who list of contenders before the Ferguson loss.
 
Alvarez is a decent option too.

The ufc would love Alvarez to beat Khabib, so they could bring Conor back again. But imo he doesn´t really deserve it. Not before Poirier.
 
Poirier beats the guy Alvarez already beat, and not only is everyone ignoring the option of rebooking Poirier vs Alvarez, but talking about Poirier getting a title shot before him. WHY
 
Tony - Could be out for 9 months maybe longer.

Conor - Who knows?

Alvarez - Has only won 1 fight since being embarrassed by Conor (lost title).

Lee - If he beats Barboza that would be only 1 win since losing to Tony (interim title).

Barboza - If he beats Lee hat is 1 win since being beaten by Khabib himself.

Gaethje - Yeah right.

Nate - Doesn't deserve it.


Poirier seems like the logical choice if Tony or Conor cannot fight.

Because Eddie wants nothing to do with Poirier’s hands.

That's pretty much how I see it but Lee doing well against Tony for a bit and the staph could mean he jumps to the top if he beats Barboza, it'd be easy enough to sell it and Lee would do a good job selling it himself.

Eddie too, former champ etc, Conor is a god type thing to sell it.

The state of the lw division...
 
I'm starting to realize how doomed the LW division really is without Ferg fighting Khabib. The face that Alvarez is in the conversation is sad.
 
Lee gave one hell of a beating to Tony when the fought, if he finishes Barboza round 1 he has to fight for the title.

Poirer vs Alverez 2 as the co-main. Party time, excellent.
