After the announcement that Jon Jones was to take on Shogun for the Light Heavyw eight Title,

I was disappointed in the UFC. It appeared they were jeopardizing M MAs most promising prospect by pitting him against top competition for a quick bu ck. But after some thought, Ive come to the conclusion that Bones deserves a title shot at least as much as anyone else. Look at the alternatives. Rampage is comi ng off a big win versus Machida but hasnt been able to string together two victor ies in a few years. Forrest is on a two fight winning streak but there are quest ions about his desire to be champion. That has to be a huge consideration for Da na. After those two, it is between Jones and rewarding someone who just lost wit h a title shot. So Jones may not deserve a title shot, but he is as qualified as a nyone else.
