Would it make sence for the UFC to have jon jones face rashad evens to see who should face shogun? If they make it an interim or if they just have it a three round fight? Either way shogun is out until 2011. Or will it be too much time off for rua?

come on dude. look how many guys there in the 205 class for bones to face. you have griffin,franklin,thiago silva, ryan bader,lil nog,possibly randy couture i think they could make it work out timing wise. why would you put him against his own teammate. pointless thread

Jon Jones and Rashad Evans are training partners and have publically stated that they would not fight each other.

Nah actually i like it too. Tho they say Shoguns recovering a lot sooner than usual. Griffin? Franklin? pleeeease. Jones would mow thru these guys. Jones vs Rashad for an interim sounds appropriate.

I know you titled it lightheavy weight contendership, but this is really another Jon Jones thread. On the first page alone you have 8 threads already about Jon Jones, no need to create another one.
Jon Jones Dream Fight Thread- This would have been a perfect place for your question.
Jon Jones vs Rashad Evans @ UFC 122. Anyone interested?- This one was perfect for you as well.
Since AS doesn't want to take the lhw title- You could have posted that you would rather see Jones and Evans instead of AS.
Realistically- Jones' next fight *poll*- Another spot.
The Bones-Vlady fight was called too early- Not exactly related to your topic but an example that there are already too many topics and that all this could have been in one of the next two threads I will put down.
Official UFC on Versus 2 Jones vs Matyushenko- Here would have worked.
Who is next for the UFC on Vs 2 fighters?- Perfect place.
Jon Jones on Sportscenter- Another example of a thread not necessary to be its own.

Machida at this time is the only fighter I see beating Jones...

Even though he is a MW, I think Palhares would beat Jones.

Yeah but if he got inside and got a hold of Jones then I don't think he could get him off, Toquinho sticks to his opponents like glue until a leg or arm or neck gets exposed

Jones has stated that he will fight any of the best apart from Suga Rashad as they're mates and he just refuses. I reckon Thiago Silva will be the correct fight for Jones. Then if he beats him, then he's looking at ppl like Machida, Rampage and Forrest Griffin.
