i agree that while i wouldnt be mad to see him fight for the strap, Gus is currently more deserving. only 2 fights in the division. sure DC has looked great. but he's mostly fought fighters on the back side of their 'prime'. if he stayed at HW and didnt duck Cain, he would have had his TS already. he chose to change divisions. you gotta put in your work. to me, Rumble beating Phil Davis is a much more deserving victory, but Rumble isnt ready for a TS either. Let those 2 fight each other, winner gets jones/gus winner. If a fighter has to petition or have his fans argue why he deserves a title shot, he shouldnt get a title shot. There should be no debating in who gets one, it should be earned in the ring by beating the best and erasing any doubts in people's minds. as far as vitor and chael go...dont get me started. neither of those deserved a TS, but i guess everyone else was ducking bones at the time so it forced dana's hand. but yeah, politics, arguing should not be involved in getting to fight the champ, beat everyone and become a clear cut #1 contender...do it in the cage and stfu
