Dana White says title talk a bit premature, but George Sotiropoulos “in the mix”

It was, perhaps, to be expected.

After native son George Sotiropoulos (12-2 MMA, 5-0 UFC) turned in the
fight of his life against the highly respected Joe Stevenson (31-11
MMA, 8-5 UFC) at UFC 110 in Sydney, Australia, the local media
immediately wanted to know what the local boy’s chances were for a shot
at the title.

UFC president Dana White let the Australian media know to tap the
brakes on that discussion, but he did say Sotiropoulos had definitely
carved out a spot in the lightweight title picture with the one-sided
unanimous decision win.
