In the most recent UFC Magazine issue graced by Mauricio Rua in the Mauricio Rua section/interview of it, he was recently supposed to have an autograph signing with Jon Jones, but in the magazine they said Jon Jones didn't want to sign autographs with Rua beacause of the fact that they may have an impending meeting sometime in the future, so they got Forrest Griffin to replace him at the autograph signing. This just makes me wonder if the Jones/Bader winner will get the next shot at the LHW belt. If so, do you think they've beaten a good level of high-ranked opponents, and have enough experience and skill level to compete with Rua/Evans when neither of them have faced or even beaten a top 5 LHW yet?

Re: Something Jon Jones Did That Could Mean He Gets Next Sho
Nah, i'd give them at least one more fight.
I can imagine Jon Jones winning, Lyoto beating Couture and Lyoto vs Jones happening for a title shot (in case jones wins, not sure about Lyoto).

Would I like to see Jon Jones have on more top 10 opponent, if he gets passed Bader, before getting a title shot? Yes. Would I complain if he got it anyway after beating Bader? Not at all.

you forget about Rampage who beat Lyoto, he would get a title shot before Jones does if thats the case

Re: Something Jon Jones Did That Could Mean He Gets Next Sho
I could see Jones using a potential match up as an excuse for not wanting to be there. He is not very fan friendly so I could see that as an excuse. I mean s---, OJ the way to LA for the 104 Presser, shogun and Machida sat next to each other on the flight from Brazil.
Jones' toughest opponent was Vera, I could see him needing another win. Wont matter though because Bader is gonna whoop that ***.

Re: Something Jon Jones Did That Could Mean He Gets Next Sho
I think Dana has already said Rampage is next in line for a shot, if he beats Thiago Silva. Jones/Bader winner should fight Lyoto (if he beats Couture), Franklin/Griffin winner or Rua/Evans loser - win any of those and they'll have done enough for a shot in my book.

I didnt forget, i never said that would be the next contender. (i guess i was reading too fast and forgot the topic name!)
Dana already said Rampage is ahead on the title line, i guess every1 know that...
ps: And if Thiago Silva beats Rampage, what will happen ? TS gets the shot?

Good question, I've been pondering this myself. He'd certainly be in the mix, it's impossible to know how Dana is going to roll the dice though.
