Seems feasible. Would be a very competitive fight. If he ragdolled Rashad somehow, there is no denying him a title shot. DC looked like a world beater vs Hendo. Sure, hendo is no spring chicken, but Hendo's body is still made of concrete. DC vs Rashad- winner gets title shot against jones/gus winner. .... calling it now: DC will be champion. There. I. Said. It.
This is what I think should happen. DC shouldn't sit out that long. A rebooking of the Rashad fight would be for the best. Just don't match him with Rumble. Why eliminate contenders?
