I have a feeling Jones will get another opponent, tougher than previous opponents and the same with Bader if he beats Nog. If they both win, they fight for #1 contender. This is a great fight. If Joe Silva was smart, he would do just this.
Rich or Forrest should be next
I'll take bader ftw!!! 
I would love to see this fight happen! I'll take Bader as well!
tj615 - You know it's sad when you have MMA fans who actually think Bader is a top contender in the UFC.
HEs not there yet, but wins over Jardine, Schafer, Vinny, and Marrero are nothing to scoff at. Plus if he can get past Little Nog he deserves a number one contender match
yhknq - you can evaluate a fighter
without necessarily watching them fight a "top ten guy"
True. Talent can usually be seen early on like with Jones or early GSP. Bader is one of these fighters. Lots of guys like that. Alvarez, Huerta, Dos Santos, Machida...
Jones will destroy Bader.
Bader ftw
Ok let me set up the title picture.
Evans/Shogun
then
Rampage/Machida: winner gets Evans/Shogun for title
Bader/Nog: winner gets Jones
Jones/winner of Bader/Nog gets title shot
Didn't really take into consideration what the losers of the bouts recieve.
Oh and Phil Davis and Franklin should be thrown in this mix soon. Big Franklin fan here, but don't wanna see him against Jones.
it would be a good fight, but I could see them saving both for separate title shots just as they didn't have JDS and Cain fight.
Would love that fight. Who will jones fight next? Surely he needs a contender like bader does lil nog to secure his spot. What says ug?

I don't see this happening. It wouldn't make any sense to keep recycling those top 4 guys into the title picture if all it takes is one win to get another shot.
lil Nog or Bader will likely get the next shot and then maybe Franklin vs Jones for the shot after that. Unless Evans is champ and then Jones would be forced to wait it out for a while.
I still want to see Thiago Silva vs Bader
ffs Thiago heal up man!
AhYeAh - I still want to see Thiago Silva vs Bader
ffs Thiago heal up man!
Me too!
I agree, winner of the Bader little Nog fight, should fight Jones in a #1 contender fight.I would also like to see Thiago Silva fight Rich Franklin
How everyone can nuthug Jones but hate Bader and say hes not worthy is beyond me Bader is just as worthy @ a #1 contender shot as Bones. I think Bader will destroy lil nog and him vs Jones will be a war.
Jones vs either dude would be awesome. Can't wait to see how it plays out. I'd love to see Jones vs Nog.
You all seem to look past the very real possibility of Nog winning his match against Bader.

None of the fighters you mentioned are top 10 fighters. How does he deserve a number one contender match?
None are top 10 fighters? Ha! None are UFC fighters...
Very interested to see what Jones vs Bader or Davis would look like
