Lol, if he runs through Bader i wonder who they are going to give him.

One out of these 5: Rua, Rampage, Evans, Machida or Couture. I think he's two away from a title shot.

They can only stash him so long. I think he wins convincingly and it forces them to match him up with an established star.

I hope it isn't Couture though, that would be boring to me but yeah he's the name of MMA/UFC whatever.

The other 4 guys I would almost pay to see.

Hoping that it isn't Couture, so I'm guessing it'll be either one of the losers of Shogun/Rashad or Machida/Rampage.

A Machida and Bones matchup would be ****ing ridiculous.

Evans is out of question. There training partners. I'd give him winner of Rampage/Machida for the title shot.

It seems that there is going to be another fight, Evan Dunham vs Kenny Florian

I remeber reading something about that and I think its overblown. Fitch and Koscheck are like best friends so I can understand why they wouldnt fight. Evans and Jardine were the same way. But Jones and Evans are just in the same camp and arent as close. I think they will fight if Dana puts enough pressure on them.

I cant argue that Jones should get a title shot with a win over Bader. The Bader win would be his first win against a top 10 LHW (Unless you count Vera and I dont). Have him beat one of those top 5 and then give him a shot.

Yeah, the only reason I threw Couture in there is because Jones/Couture could headline a PPV because of Couture's name. I think Jones would destroy him though.

Same here, but if he beats bader, then one of those you have to give him it.

That would be a great ppv.

Sounds like Silva/Belfort was moved to UFC 126 and Griffin/Franklin will headline 127.

Smart move by Dana but ****ty for us fans. 127 was going to be stacked. Watching Jones fight may be enough to get me to buy 127 but Silva/Belfort headlining made it a must buy.

Very true, but 127 is still stacked atm:
Franklin-Griffin
Bader-Jones
Dunham-Florian
