GSP-Penn Winner Gets Thiago Alves

Not surprisingly, Dana White announced that Thiago Alves is next in line to get a shot at the Welterweight Championship, whoever the champion may be.

"He's next in line for a title shot. If GSP beats B.J. Penn, then (Alves) fights GSP. If B.J. Penn wins, then he fights B.J. And then he'd have to defend that title for a while before I let him move up and try to fight Anderson.

-Dana White"

I say "not surprisingly" because Alves has been unstoppable as of late and he has some big victories under his belt. Alves is 9-2 in the UFC, winning his last 7 fights. He has some big wins, including a decision over Josh Koscheck and knockouts of Matt Hughes and Karo Parisyan. Look out for "The Pitbull".
