Vitor is the only guy so far to take on both Jones and Silva right? Anyone wanting a shot at the middleweight crown should have to go through him first.

he did, but he got owned in both fights, so it doesnt matter..

He hardly got "owned" as you put it,Okami allowed himself maybe to be owned by Anderson but Vitor got knocked out and knocked out by probably the most accurate striker ever seen. Should Weidman or Bisping and Co get a title shot without first proving themselves against one of the top contenders like Vitor or Rich Franklin?

Rich Frankin? top contender?.........Are your sure about that?

Yes i'm sure Rich is still at the top of the division and would give Bisping plenty of problems,Weidman though is still a little new so we don't really know how good he is yet but if he went through Franklin like he went through Munoz and Maia then no one could deny him a title shot.
