Who will get the winner of Rumble and DC?

[Kenny Powerth]

Jones - doesn't deserve it and could be out 2 years
Gus - 1 win against a non-ranked opponent in a year
Bader- with win against lil nog would make him 5-1 in his last 6 with his only loss coming to Rumble.
Manuwa - needs another top 5 win before we discuss a TS, but not far off.
Krylov - excellent choice but still needs another top 5 win. If Krylov wins, him vs Manuwa makes a lot of sense.

Any others? So it's Baders to loose if he beats Lil Nog?

Talks amongst yourselves

Jones will get it....he'll be back

Jones - doesn't deserve it ...

Didn't read any further.

I guess Manuwa/Bader for the #1 contender spot?

 

[joshbish]

And for what it's worth..how does Jones "not deserve it"? To be the champ, you have to beat the champ, and last I checked, nobody earned that belt by beating the champ. Even after a 2 yr layoff...Jones takes out either of these guys.

Man, 205 sucks.

 

[Übermacht]

Give Gus a goddam titleshot, will ya. Except Rumble wins, then I wanna see him against Jones.

The GOAT is next

Let's see here......cocaine, hit and run, ruining UFC 200, drag racing......

Jones will get it....he'll be back

Did Dana say so?

Nobody has said so yet...but this latest drug thing will be thrown out soon....boner pills...

That remains to be seen given that he will have to make do without the cialis. However, Jones will definitely get a title shot upon his return.

 

[KingBeef]

The way things have been going, I would say Gus. Unfortunately, if they feed Gus to either of those guys they run the risk of losing him. Those back to back loses really got to his head. Another crushing loss takes him out of the conversation for a long time. Same goes for Bader. He's been a top 5 gatekeeper(if that makes sense lol) for a while now. We all know that he cant beat DC or Rumble. I can see the UFC trying to throw some fresher names into the fold but as it stands now, the LHW division looks heavily depleted of talent.

 

[Jawth]

If Jones is back, Jones.

If not, and especially if DC wins then Bader after Nog. There just isn't anyone else and he'd be on a 7-1 run.

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

Hopefully Jones.

Jones - doesn't deserve it

Of course he doesn't. He's only the interim champion.

Dana did say that. So that's a lie

Gus or Jones when he gets back
