I can't help think that he is. This week Jon Jones said that Daniel Cormier has fought nothing but bums and isn't worthy to fight him just yet. Nice call on calling your own teamate in Frank Mir a bum btw. I get that Pat Cummings ain't a worthy challenger but ignoring and avoiding a undefeated Olympic wrestler that can strike is a bit fishy IMO. Everyone knows DC is legit.
On the flipside you have Alexander Gustafsson that many people think should've beat him with even Dana saying he deserved an instant rematch. He gets in and destroys number 11 ranked Jimi Manuwa at his own game and guess what? Jon wants DC and Gusto to fight each other with the winner that would face him. He thinks it makes sense, I just don't. I think Gusto shouldnt have to fight Daniel to fight you, he more than deserved his rematch when he took you all the way.
I was giving Jones passes, despite his horrible attitude but it is hard to let this go.. one doesn't have to look to deep to see that he wants possibly his 2 biggest competitors to fight each other that way 1 is eliminated and he only has to worry about fighting the other

Well dayum, if this is super cereal then I'll have to put in my 2 cents. Idk what part of promotional malpractice does Jon not understand. He would be crazy to think the UFC would risk a rematch between Jones and Gusto and then a big Jones/Cormier fight just to give a "true contender". Unless Jones loses to Teixeira, he WILL fight Gustafsson next and if he beats him he WILL fight Comier unless Cormier loses on the way to Davis/Rumble. Either way, there is a reason Jones isnt a matchmaker. Leave that to the guys at the UFC who are in the business of making money. And both Jones/Gustafsson II and Jones/Cormier are big money fights.

am I missing something?
Jones is fighting the next contender and fighting the Gus RM after...who's he ducking?
Was he supposed to fight DC Tex and Gus in a single weekend?
Real champs should be confident enough to say "Line them up and I'll knock them down" but Jones is just afraid of the day that he fights someone who has his number and Gustafsson showed the whole world that it very much could be him.

As soon as Gus won the fight he was all on twitter saying DC and Gus should fight each other before the winner of him and Tex.

that makes 100% sense to give Jones a CLEAR number one contender
but business wise it's better to give gus the RM and DC the winner (post one more win vs a credible 205er)
That's still not ducking, someone give me SOLID proof or you're all just fanning smoke hoping for a fire.

No it does not make sense because he has a clear number 1 contender and thats Gustoff..this isn't 155 where there are 10 contenders who could possibly fight for the belt..
Gustoff is the Number 1 and if Cormier wins against either Johnson or Davis hes the clear number 2.. no need for them to duke it out over who gets Jones first.

Gustafsson IS the clear number one contender. Most people, including me, think Gusto deserved an immediate rematch. If Shogun deserved an immediate rematch against Lyoto then Alex definitely did, now he's destroyed Manuwa and it's his shot. He was so quick to take a fight with Glover and his best wins are Bader and Rampage, but now Alex needs to fight DC to get his shot? It's horseshit, he's scared. I don't mean to take anything away from the likes of Lyoto, Shogun and Rashad but he was quick to take those fights, fights everyone had him pegged to win. Now that there are guys that people are saying really offer a challenge like DC and Gus (who already I think beat him once) they need to earn it? Buddy, you got your shot after beating Ryan Bader. Get off your f---ing pedestal, be humble and fight the number one contender. Your'e not a match maker, you're a fighter, do your f---ing job and fight.
Diva!
