There are way too many factors that could come up at the moment, but I will say that Haney may not be the most worthy opponent. If Tank and Garcia win their fights, both definitely deserve it more than Haney.

If it comes to a mandatory, then we will see his other options. I won’t make excuses if Teo fights a low caliber fighter instead of Haney, but we will see what happens. It’s way too early and Haney still hasn’t proven that he belongs at the top. He looks the part but until he beats a top 10 guy in the weight class, he needs to wait his turn.
