Agree 100%. This will be the 4th fight of this year for Jones. I'm sure he'll want and probably deserves a break from training after the Machida fight which keeps Rashad on the shelf even longer. And that's assuming Jones comes out of that fight healthy.
Not sure how KOing a 50 year old man bumps Machida up to title contender. Just wait until February or March, let Jones rest and give the people what they really want: Jones/Evans.
