It is the same sort of deal, except I do not believe there is any way even Dana White could hold off on cashing in on the rise and popularity of Jon Jones. Jon Jones is a much more exciting fighter with a variety of wins coming by TKO or submission.
If anything, I could see Dana trying to spoon feed this fight to Jones if Rashad were to defeat Shogun for the Light Heavyweight belt and Jones were to continue winning.
In the end, I could see this being more up to Jon Jones choice rather than Dana wanting to punish him.
