UFC LHW era between Chuck and Jones was exciting AF. While Jones ended up beating all the elites and ending this glorious period what do you think would have happened at the division if Jones never emerges and we get another few years of the Rampage/Rashad/Machida/Shogun round robin?
Basically here's how things were before UFC 128.
.Shogun is champ has to fight someone other than Jones cause Shad the number 1 contender was hurt
.Shad's the number 1 contender coming off of a two fight win streak
.Rampage is riding a two fight win streak after his close loss to Rashad
.Machida has just lost to Rampage by controversial decision and is about to retire Randy Couture
.Forrest is on a two fight win streak albeit against washed up fighters in Franklin and Tito.
I honestly have no idea who would have happened in the division if Jones hadn't come along(pretty sure it wouldn't have been Forrest that's for sure). This is about as close to a four way or five way draw as you can get. Already made a thread asking who got the best of this era so decided to make one about what would have happened if this era continued.
