not really, i can see a rematch vs gust and potentially 2 fights with rumble in the future. hes kinda cleared it out but theres a lot more fights left for him there
maybe even a rematch with bader
osp is really down the totem pole, this is his only chance at jones and he better make a good showing

Bones isn't planning on staying at LHW for long.
Jon Jones has 'maybe 3' bouts left before he moves up to heavyweight
He said he was gonna beat DC, Rumble, give Gus a rematch and then move up.
OSP isn't on any of their level so the odds are low that he ever would have fought him.

Look at the rankings, Jones has pretty much beat all the ranked fighters in the division, minus Rumble and OSP. Other than Rumble/DC II/Gus II, there's nothing left for Jones. Not only that, there's no up and coming fighters that could make noise in the future. If Jones plans to stay at LHW, there's a pretty good chance he fights OSP:
Being 6-7 best LHW isn't 'really down the totem pole'.
yea but its years down the line
and theres no guarantees osp keeps winning fights

Yea but has he ever put that type of deadline on it?
There's a clear talent divide in the LHW division. You have the top contenders(DC,Gus,Rumble) the gatekeepers(Glover,OSP,Rashad,Bader), and then everyone else. Once he beats those guys, he has no incentive whatsoever to stay at LHW. I mean what would he do, keep rematching the same guys? HW is wide open.
Add in the fact that he's 28 now, AND you got Conor McGregor willing to move up and fight damn near anybody(which matters IMO), and the odds are high he goes to HW.
I'd bet money he moves up within two years.

Too long but now he wants to get it fixed? He always talks about it

Shields calls him a p*ssy and he walks right in front of him and turns his back

Ovince St. Preux though :whatmayne:
You got Rumble and Teixiera and Gustafsson and even Rashad, but you pick Ovince :cubewtfmayne:
I'd rather see Jimi Manuwa against Jones than Ovince :fohmayne:

Rumble and Gus have medical issues, he has already beat Glover and Rashad.

bad timing I guess.Isn't Gustafsson cleared to train after that KO loss to Rumble tho
anyway I predict it will be an easy win for Jones. Submission round 2 or 3 imo
I thought be had a back injury/surgery
