Who's Next for Aldo

With a win in his last fight against a game Florian, Aldo continues his championship run.  So what's next for Aldo?
Some may say that Chad "Money" Mendes is the easy choice, but others may say that a win by Hatsu Hioki over George Roop is an option.
Currently I have Mendes as the #2 Featherweight & Hioki as the #8 Featherweight, which seems logical that Mendes should have the next shot, with Hioki, if he wins getting closer.  I do have Poirier at #6, Florian #5, & Hominick #3 in the division, but a win by Hioki could earn him a spot if Poirier loses his next fight against Pablo Garza.  Since Florian just fought for the belt & Hioki has beaten Hominick twice in the past, with a win over Roop, it could catapult him to a shot after Mendes, unless the UFC was to skip Mendes & grant it to Hioki right away.
I say Mendes gets the first shot at Aldo, then Hioki with a win over Roop, unless Poirier wins over Garza earning him the shot first.

Heavyweight Debate

Velazquez & Dos Santos are set for a huge title fight, where we have #1 & #2 in the division by anyone’s rankings.  Another big time fight in the top 10 at Heavyweight will be Lesnar [6] & Overeem [3], where a win by Overeem could lead him to a UFC title shot against the winner of Velazquez/Dos Santos.  My thoughts, We’ll see Dos Santos/Overeem in 2012.

Also take a look at the website "the Reem", to get to know Overeem better.  I'm sure you will find this documentary interesting.  It has 6 episodes so far for the 2nd season.
