Who cares?
There's only 3 contenders to that belt now (RIP Glover) and even then, it doesn't seem particularly competitive.
The fact that Rumble is being made to wait for Jones now, especially given the fact that officially Jones is still staring down the barrel of a two year suspension just goes to show how little this division has to offer.
Making Rumble wait for Jones just answers the only remaining question and the only good outcome they can hope for is Jones losing, because if Jones wins, then the hierarchy is absolute with: Jones #1, Cormier #2, Rumble #3 and then who gives a shit? Gusto has lost to all of them, same with Bader and Glover.
These guys are big enough they can go up to Heavyweight if need be, so they should be going the Conor route and seeking out fun fights for money instead of waiting around to see if Jones' charges stick or to get a fight with him only to have it cancelled because he got arrested again or pissed hot or whatever.
Jones fighting Rumble only extends the inevitable rematch-fest LHW is about to turn into.
