I spoke to Anthony Njokuani for UGO.com and Njokuani spoke about the possibility of a title shot if he defeats Shane Roller at WEC 48 this Saturday.
Woods: Isn't that the big question here? Very often Zuffa promotions' have a number one contender fight on a card that also features a title fight. Ben Henderson and Donald Cerrone are obviously fighting on the card (for the lightweight title) and they both hold victories over you and you are one of the hot prospects in the WEC lightweight division. I guess there are a lot of expectations that a victory here puts you in that position of number one contender. Is that your understanding of the situation?
Njokuani: Yes, correct. Whoever wins this fight and whoever wins the Donald Cerrone [sic] Cowboy and Henderson fight, those two will fight again for the belt.
Anthony goes on to talk about why he still respects Anderson Silva (though wouldn't go all "weird" like Silva did) and what type of breakdance move he may bust out on Saturday night.
