Does Dan Cormier deserve an immediate title shot?

Cain Velasquez saying his training partner Daniel Cormier deserves an immediate title shot is a lot like Bill backing Hilary when she campaigned for president. Cormier is a tremendous heavyweight and he has the potential to be champion someday, but let’s get him to the UFC first. I’m all for the idea of him being fast tracked to a title shot but I think he needs at least one win inside the octagon. Depending on timing I would like to see him matched up against a returning Shane Carwin in a title eliminator, or if Bigfoot records a win over Velasquez I would be down for Cormier/Silva 2, especially with Bigfoot saying he was not motivated for their last fight. Even the loser of JDS/Mir would be a good match up for him. I am just not a fan of an immediate title shot, even Overeem had to fight Brock.
