Jones already beat machida

Gus mousasi or cormier all better fights

NO. Machida is the #1 contender right now, Gus needs to win 2 more fights.

If Gus beats Mousasi then definitely. If he does win impressively then NOT getting the shot would be very fucked up. How can you deny the guy a shot after winning 7 in a fuckin row?! He'd have beaten T. Silva, Shogun, and Mousasi back to back to back and top 15/20 guys before that (Te-Huna, Hamill, Diabate, Matyushenko).

If Gus loses (I don't see this happening) then Gegard should fight another top LHW then get his shot. Glover imo is still very overrated and beating Rampage these days isn't some huge feat, Bader even did it. I think Glover is still another fight or two away from a title shot and Dan Cormier should get a shot immediately if he drops to LHW. Lyoto had his chance and got choked out. He can get another title shot after some new guys get their chance at the gold. Not only did Lyoto already get his shot and lose (finished), he arguably lost his first title defense against Shogun and then went on to lose their immediate rematch by getting KO'd. IMO for Lyoto to get another shot he should have to beat Shogun.

Yeah I think this is pretty likely

I think he should, Lyoto did not impress much in this last bout... Atleast he did NOTHING thats saying he has improved after the last fight with the champ.
of course he hadn't improved that much, it hasn't been that long since the Jones fight. what I don't get is why he ducked Jones last time the fight was offered, its not like he was going to significantly improve that much anyway
I think Gus should be fighting Jones while Lyoto takes on Mousasi
