Jorgensen likely for next title shot at Cruz
by John Morgan | 21 hours ago | source: mmajunkie.com | 3732 Views | 68 Comments

Had it not been for Joseph Benavidez's stunning finishes of Rani Yahya and Miguel Torres, WEC bantamweight contender Scott Jorgensen (11-3 MMA, 7-2 WEC) may have already had his title shot.

But following Jorgensen's "Fight of the Night" win over Brad Pickett at Wednesday's WEC 50 event in Las Vegas, even the notoriously fence-riding General Manager of the WEC, Reed Harris, had to admit "Young Guns" was a pretty clear-cut option for champion Dominick Cruz's next bout.

"I can't (see a reason not to give Jorgensen a shot)," Harris told MMAjunkie.com.

Of course, Harris immediately followed that up with his usual disclaimer.

"Ultimately Sean Shelby makes that decision," Harris said. "He's our matchmaker. We'll sit down next week. He'll tell me what he thinks, but I'll tell you what, Scotty looked very, very impressive."

-Its about time, Jorgensen is tenacious, I love watching that guy throwdown.

I actually thought that Brad Pickett looked pretty good. I thought it was a pretty even fight myself but I did have a few drinks in me at that point.

I'll be pulling for Jorgensen whenever he gets his shot. Hopefully it does turn out to be soon.
