2 1/2 months isnt bad either. Weve gotten used to fighters taking 4-6 mos off between fights but thats just started happening. In 2005-2006, Hughes defended his belt 4 times in a year. Anderson will probably defend his 3 times in 2011. 3 mos is enough time for Evans if he wants the belt.

There isn't nearly enough time to do all that.

Have Jones waiting at the end when he's healed up to fight whomever comes out of the gauntlet. We have: Rua v Griffin Evans v Davis Rampage v Hammill Machida v Randy Franklin v Little Nog Bader v Ortiz

Couture/Machida winner gets offered the shot if Evans then Ramp loses. If Couture wins and refuses then you have to go with the Rua/Griffin winner. You could sell that fight...****a attempts to win his belt back and now gets more than 6 weeks to prepare for Jones or The original Ultimate Fighter versus Jones. I'd pay for either.

That was more of a joke and even more of me entertaining myself

Even though this has nothing to do with this card Chong-Li is amazing. I just watched bloodsport yesterday

Not quite sure where to put this, but apparently Bones does not need surgery anymore, but his next opponent will not be Rashad apparently?

This Rashad / Jones feud is going to extremely high levels; straight up like high school drama, fighting over Twitter and what not.

Well to his credit I havent seen Jones take the bait and really get involved, Rashad on the other hand cant stop talking.
