What do they all have in common?
Jones beat all of them already.
How about some fresh blood fighting for the belt? Gustafson? Glover?
Chuck could beat him.
YOU HEAR ME CHUCK? YOU COULD BEAT HIM!
I dunno how many up and comers Zuffa want to ship wreck against Jon Jones. I think they might want him to move up as soon as he is ready, to HW, because LHW has nothing for him.
I MIIIIIIGHT be able to see Gustafsson do something, perhaps.
Well, Glover perhaps too, haven't seen enough of him.
I guess there are some names there ;)
Get Mousasi a fucking fight
Jones has to beat Tito's record before moving up and I think he agrees
How about a catch weight with Anderson?
I don't think Anderson wants to go out on a devastating loss to Jon Jones.
I like the idea of an extremely dominant champ sitting atop a weight division and don't really understand the people who call for champs to move up. Challengers deserve the right to build themselves back up to rematches too.
Motivated Penn - I don't think Anderson wants to go out on a devastating loss to Jon Jones.
You think jones can hang with Anderson on the feet?

I think it doesn't stay on the feet long. And also Jones' reach creates difficulty for anyone to find timing and range. Even Anderson.
Should be promoting Davis/Prado
Sofa King Cool - Rashad, Lyoto, Rampage, Bader, Shogun, and soon Dan Henderson are the top of LHW.
And Jones beat them all. Badly.
Are you from the future, bro?
biva - I doubt that Joe Silva was expecting Jones to have cleared out the division this quickly.
Don't buy it.
The UFC pushed Jones too early trying to capitalize on the hype and now there's no one left. And even if they were fooling themselves on the depth at LHW, why the rush? Jones is young and they could've had plenty of #1 contender matches.
Of course he still has to get by Hendo, but if he does there's no one else that makes for a compelling matchup and it's entirely the UFC's fault. By this time next year he may be fighting for the HW title.

Mousasi is locked in SF with a torn acl and a new 6 fight deal unfortunately.
Maybe SF can fire him and then UFC hire him re: reem

You can't have a go at them for making the best fights available at that time? It's only been cleaned out to this extent so quickly because jons young and can fight very regularly
RealTerry - Get Mousasi a fucking fight
you'll be getting him a bodybag if he gets in there w/jones...

When has Mousasi taken any sort of damage or looked hurt? At the very least Mousasi can provide some interest as he probably has better hands then anyone Jones has fought, but obviously Jones should be able to win it with his wrestling. Im not even saying do that fight, just saying that Mousasi needs a fight, the guys used to fighting 6-7 times a year yet hasnt fought yet this year. He is one of the more intriguing fighters at 205
TheReflectionOfPerfection - What do they all have in common?Yeah, it is sad how we're still talking about the same contenders from 3-4 years ago.
Jones beat all of them already.

Lyoto is the only dude who brought it and went out on his shield. I would be slightly interested in a rematch. Other than that make him fight JDS.
