Who are his next 3 and who do you want him to fight?
I think his next 3 are Aldo,frankie then diaz rematch. Provided he wins anyway.
I think he takes the aldo fight but not as easily as before (obviously), the Frankie fight on paper Frankie should take it but I'm not 100% confident. I think he has to evolve in his approach to get past Frankie as Frankies chin has been shown to hold up at 155. If he shows the evolution to get past Frankie I think he has a good chance against diaz, but it would be full camp diaz, so who knows.
Really want to see him fight Frankie and nate, but I think aldo has earned the rematch.
His ground game has been exposed, I really think he pays for it if they give him legit fights.
That said, I wouldn't count him out against any 145lber. Frankie should be able to weather the storm and out point him, but there's always a chance with that left.

I honestly wouldn't say exposed....he did sweep diaz and stay in his guard which isn't exactly amateurish.. But when we are talking RDA/Frankie and diaz level ground game yeah, I think he has to avoid any kind of ground fighting with them.
While he has lost some of his star power there are still plenty of fights I want to see with him, in fact I think the fact he lost may actually bump his numbers up, his fans will always buy PPV's but haters will only buy them if there is a chance he loses. This fight showed some vulnerabilities that people will think (maybe correctly) that he will now definitely get beat by the likes of Frankie etc.

Sounds awesome for me.
He showed against Diaz that he can be broken and that is not a weakness you want to show to guys like Frankie or some of the killers at 155. He might be in for a rough spot here with who he actually has left to fight.
