Best case scenario Jones beats Gus and DC he would clean out 205, and let's say Weidman beats Jacare, Belfort etc... I can't see any other credible opponents for them after that so I think within the next 18-24 months we'll see this fight happen. We never got Jones vs Silva or GSP vs Silva so I'm pretty certain Dana will make this fight if everything goes according to plan.

this. Jones is a HW in a youthful body, he'd kill him. He'd literally man handle him like he did Sonnen. Jones ain't a small dude, plus he's quick.

With that being said, I think DC has Jones' number.

That goes without saying but cacs would be fully behind Weidman. Dana will want to do it .

won't happen, Hendrix wants to fight weidman, and dana shut it down right to his face

You have to understand Anderson Silva went 8 years in the UFC without losing, and the had the belt for 7

weidman has has a long way to go to get to Jons level to even make a super fight compelling

I dont think Weidman would make it past those guys to be honest. I see him losing to either jacare or Rockhold

It's funny Weidman actually asked for the Jones fight to save the UFC 151 fiasco but the ufc didn't consider him enough of a name at the time, I don't think they'll make it to each other tho. Somebody is gonna lose in their next fight or two

A healthy DC or Rockhold is gonna ruin this scenario

Weidman still has to deal with Belfort, Jacare, Rockhold and Mousasi and even potential contenders in Kennedy and Romero.

I'd be more interested in Cain/Jones, the HW division is severly lacking contenders (only Werdum left) and Jones just has Gus & Cormier left to fight. This bout would garner more attention and would be more interesting/compelling than a potential Jones/Weidman match-up.

Weidman would put up a much better fight than Sonnen. I don't see him winning at all, but the fight would be relatively competitive.
