OAKLAND, Calif. – Although Saturday’s UFC 117 event was supposed to determine two No. 1 contenders, welterweight winner Jon Fitch is now on standby without a firm commitment.
Heavyweight Junior Dos Santos, on the other hand, appears he’ll get his promised title shot.
After Dos Santos did everything short of finishing a resilient Roy Nelson, UFC president Dana White said the performance was good enough to earn the Brazilian big man a shot at the belt.
