-You could say Hendo is ducking Lil Nog since he does not match up well with the Nog's jits skillsets and taking the fight risks his title shot chances. Not too mention pushes back a potential fight to mid/late in the year which will only benefit the younger Jones and hinder the older Hendo. One the other hand, Hendo could be waiting to find out the outcome of Evans/Davis and waiting to see if the winner comes out injured.

-Not too sure what Lil Nog has done to earn a number 1 contender title shot? Sure he submitted Hendo years ago, but thrashing an over-the-hill Tito Ortiz in 2011 after losing to Bader and Davis does not cut for me.

-I think the Evans/Davis fight could prove to be a real tough battle and the winner could end up on the medical suspension list. Although, it could push a Jones fight even further back. Which in turn would push a Hendo title shot even farther back.

-Lil Nog/Gustafsson should be a good fight. Not sure how well it is going to draw PPV buys (if it is not free here since its overseas?)

I kind of just wish the UFC would book Jones versus Hendo for April or May and the winner meets Evans or Davis in August/September/October.
