Rashad Evans thinking about taking this fight too.

 

[FaTaL]

True.

He'd prolly rather wait for Bones to get the title, then he can fight him with a full camp.

What if Cormier is out for a long time? He'll be waiting forever

And he could insist on a rematch clause

Doubt Jones would be cool with that.

I don't think the fight happens. Rumble knows this is way too important. If he loses to Jones he has no where else to go. I know he said he was training but I just don't think he takes this

Agreed. Tough spot for Rumble. He has almost a guaranteed title shot in the near future. Why risk that?

If I was Rumble, I wouldn't want to fight an absolute monster in Jones with no belt and a very short camp either.

The flip side is he ends it with one shot and he's back at the fromt

That's not the true approach you wanna take tho

I'm not saying just come in throwing haymakers. Bones hasn't fought in a long time. If Rumble is in shape physically and mentally I say it's better to catch Bones now.

I hear you I just legitimately think the opposite breh his first fight back is way too unpredictable

 

[BigBrown21]

Truthfully, being the first man ever to beat Jones is bigger than the title. Even the DC would probably say that. Rumble should step up and try to become the man in this business, just demand at least $500K for the fight for his own financial security.

Even with a full camp, Rumble is LIABLE to gas out if the fight is competitive...
