Gus needs to stay active, give him a nice tune up fight, perhaps winner of Bader-OSP
LOL so he should fight scrubs in the meanwhile. What a way to prove he deserves another shot.
He should fight Rumble or Rashad, either one for the next shot.
Or he could just STFU.
To be fair he was scheduled to face Jones at 178 after only beating an unranked Manuwa
It would be twice as bad to give him another paper bag to punch through.
No thanks, fight a real challenge or you can't honestly call yourself championship material.
Top guys should be fighting other top guys so that we have a clear hierarchy in the division.

So giving him a top 10 opponent would as bad as an unranked opponent?
Bader is ranked 8
OSP is ranked 10

Jones got his title shot from beating Bader. If he wants to wait, that's his business but he runs into a real problem if DC wins and Jones gets a rematch.
he said he is gonna wait
Manuwa was ranked #11 by the UFC. And he was the #9 UFC guy by Sherdog.
Alex stepped up and fought an undefeated 14-0 guy in London on a FightPass card. And the only reason he did it is because Lil Nog and Cormier both ducked him.
Enough with the nonsense already.
lol Bader was undefeated when that fight happened. Many picked him to ragdoll the young up and coming Jones.
And he only got it still because of an injury to the number 1 contender.
You must not actually watch the fights just run your damn mouth.
I'm typing, not "running my damn mouth". Bader was ranked 6 when Jones beat him and now he's 9, so not much difference. Gus was already granted the title shot and only doesn't get one because of an injury, so he doesn't think he should have to earn what is already his. I don't care who he fights but you're talking like Bader is a walkover.

And he beat Jones into a "Living Death". LOL he actually beat him into a nice hospital stay and in many opinions he deserved the decision. Taking a fighter who has been "Untouchable" by all other contenders and sending him to the Hospital and losing a decision by a hair is worthy of a rematch immediately most times.
DC was a fill in for Gus and now Gus doesn't need a fill in so he should get his shot. DC has beaten who at LHW? He was supposed to fight Rashad and that didn't happen. Cormier can get his own knee taken care of and fight Rashad to Earn his shot at Jones.
