Jones hasn't even reached his physical prime yet.
is half of the hw division going to retire or something?
This is a silly pipe dream. JJ has crushed every top 5 guy there is without ever really being in danger. I'll bet whatever you want.
Pretty good chance that he doesn't get through the gauntlet of: Sonnen, Gus, Mousasi, Machida, Glover, Davis and Cormier without picking up a loss. Not that he is going to fight all of them, but if he stays champ, you have to figure he will face 4 or 5 of them in the next two years.

Meh. I think machida will be the one to dethrone him
How did that work out last time? Machida has nothing for Jones. Jones is bigger, he is the better striker, and he is vastly better at grappling. Machida has 0 advantages.
He looked great round one. I think he learns from his mistakes.
Round 1 was uneventful, and Jones won it anyway. Machida's "success" against Jones was landing 8 strikes in a round 2 judges gave to Jones before getting demolished in the second.
