I agree with Krimzon on this one. If Machida beats Couture it won't do much to get him back in the mix because he's supposed to beat a 48 year old man.

I think after Rashad, the UFC would be eager to put the winner of Jackson v. Hamill in. It's a win/win either way for them. Rampage is... well... Rampage and Hamill would give Jones a chance to avenge his bullshit loss.

Those fights would pretty much close out the year for Jones since I doubt the UFC is going to put him out there more than four times in a year.

After that, I think they'd give Forrest a chance if he keeps winning out merely because of his name and marketability.

If Phil Davis keeps winning in the mean time I think he'd also be in the mix.

I think Machida would have to go through either Forrest or Davis before he'd be considered a contender again.
