Jones needs to be on that November 4th Card, he needs to just go ahead and accept the Gus Rematch that has all the makings of a Grudge Match.

Jones needs to be on that November 4th Card, he needs to just go ahead and accept the Gus Rematch that has all the makings of a Grudge Match.

It definitely makes sense to put him on it. He wanted on last year's MSG card. And the UFC wants to make MSG a big deal like last year.

The thing is, there's so many title fights that could also go on the card:

GSP and Bisping want on that card and Ariel has reported that that's the plan
Ferguson/Khabib is rumored to be on the card
Holloway posted a mock-up poster of him, Frankie, Khabib, and Ferg on the card. And it'd be a home field fight for Frankie
Joanna wants on the card too (though she got it last year so I think she's out of luck this time)

Jones took some shots against DC, and while I think there's enough time before 217 for him to take the fight, 3 months is a little short a layoff.
