Ok, so there will only be 8 finalists. That's good.
And Wow, Hassan getting a IC shot? Nice.
I guess they really are building Shelton as the ultimate threat. Before, it was he could beat anybody. (around the time he 'feuded' with Snitsky) And now, he can beat any two men.
I guess soon enough, he'll be saying he's beat everyone for the IC title, and ready for the world title.
