If the rematch doesn't happen, or if Jones has foot problems / any other injuries that the apparently healthy Swede doesn't want to wait around for, a match with Gus might make sense to set up a clear #1 contendor. Available guys Mousasi or Lil Nog might want a crack at Gus too since a victory over him now looks like a clear path into top contention for anybody. Mousasi may not be a big name in the UFC and I'm not sure if he's even ready to go yet, but that's a fight that was supposed to happen anyways right? Or giving Gus Lil Nog or another name guy like Bader (also coming off a loss) might be a good to give him a win before taking another shot at the title too. As for Jones, he's got no shortage of viable contendors for the next while at least. The rematch with Gus is marketable. Glover has a huge win streak (tho credibility of all those names arguably dubious) historically has heavier hands than Gus, and could be argued that he'd have finished what Gus couldn't (I don't buy it, but that doesn't mean the UFC can't sell it that way). Also, assuming Cain retains and Cormier goes through Big Country, he might actually come down for a shot. Jones may insist that he take a tune-up fight, but Chael and Vitor didn't have to prove their worth in the divison as it is, and would Dana really risk losing the money fight by giving DC a warm-up fight to potentially lose? Also, by the time all those are taken care of, Phil Davis may actually have earned himself a credible win or two and along with them an argument for a shot. Jones could always just ditch the divison and jump to heavyweight too, but regardlss of what happens, its just nice to know he's got some challenges without having to back and dominate the old guys again - cause while watching him rip those guys apart was entertaining, I'd rather see a great fighter prove themselves under real pressure.
