Phew cannot wait to see the Cormier-Gustafsson battle hopefully DC can keep his streak going and it sort of bugs me that a guy that just lost a fight gets a title shot instantly but oh well.(meaning that for Gustafsson

yeah but isn't it quite the same thing that happend to DC. He lost to jones and fought for the title.

 

Now jones is out and DC is champ. Rumble is #1 and Gustafsson is #2. Gustafsson is really in the same situation DC was when he got offered the fight against rumble.

Both are fighting for the title with their most recent fight being a loss.

 

All in all, it's Jones fault for stiring up the pot. Another option would be for DC to sit it out for a while which he doesn't seem to want to do. So why not fight Gustafsson?

LHW Looking pretty dry but it opened up quite a bit with Jones leaving for awhile.

Winner of Glover/OSP is back in immediate Title picture.

Winner of Bader/Rashad will probably get next crack at the Title.

Rumble if he beats Jan, will be right back in immediate Title hunt.

Jimi Manuwa is an awesome fighter who can make a ton of progress I think..

Rampage has a punchers chance against anyone.

Feijao/Pat Cummings winner will shoot up and rankings AND

Lil Nog vs Shogun can crack top 10 with a win.
