Personally, I think that giving Sanchez a shot after beating Riggs is pretty much akin to throwing him to a lion; in the sense that while he did beat Karo, he hasn't fought any of the top 3 guys in the weight class yet.
St Pierre, Penn and Hughes are a significant step up from anyone else he has had to fight. Karo is close, but I have my doubts since he came back from his injury. He lost a lot of momentum.
I think Sanchez needs another fight against a guy like Penn otherwise he will be walking into a different world against GSP.
I am not saying that you are wrong MMF, because things may very well play out the way you see them.
Then again, I don't much like Sanchez, so if he wants to take a shot before he is ready, then by all means.
