No, that wouldn't be smart. When Diego gets by Riggs he will deserve a shot, beating Karo already cemented a title shot in my mind. If you do it your way it elimates alot of possible matches for the title.
St. Pierre has Serra up next, and he should walk through him easily. Then I'd imagine Diego would be up next. Gives Hughes two more fights to tune up for another shot, doesn't matter who, maybe a fight with Karo Parysian next, or Nick Diaz. Hughes deserves a shot after dominating for so long so I don't think he has to have huge matches against big names to get another shot, similar to Couture beating Mike VanArsedale to get another shot at Liddell last year.
Some guys could establish themselves in the next 6 months as well. Guys like Koscheck, Jon Fitch, Jeff Joslin, who is finally making his UFC debut all are good 170 pounders.
Haven't even talked about BJ yet..
Alot of possibilities though, and St. Pierre is going to be a fighting champion, and I don't see anyone in that division beating him.
