Gus has had the legitimacy of his resume exaggerated for quite sometime now, in his most recent fight he beat a fringe top 10 guy in Manuwa (big deal). He hasn't exactly been looking to stay busy either, I think his camp is bidding it's time working on defending spinning shit prior to a Jones rematch. Let's be honest, who has he beat? a washed up Shogun, Te Huna who dropped to middle weight, a Janitor who couldn't cut it in Bellator, a guy who has handicap license plates, and a guy recently cut by the UFC. In his claim to fame event he decisively lost to Jones in a fight that only Jones haters called close.
Even if he beats Rumble, AJ is a blown up welterweight, who hasn't beaten anyone of note lately either... He's been crushing cans in the WSOF, decisioned a gunshy Arlovsky, wall and stalled Phil Davis to a controversial win, and landed a lucky uppercut on Little Nog who was suffering from jetlag, diarrhea, and staph.
The only fighters who clearly deserve a rematch with Jones are Rashad or Rampage, these guys are both coming off big wins and are fights that make sense......
