Unlike title shots that go on to disappear as quickly as they are promised, the winner between Alexander Gustafsson and Anthony "Rumble" Johnson will be the next man to step into the cage with Jon Jones. You can bet on that.
And all the better for Jones, who's been a vocal critic of the UFC's propensity for paving a nice path for his biggest threats as they make their way to the top of the mountain. But he can't say that here, as Dana White's created a nice little matchup between the division's No. 1 and No. 3 contenders in Gustafsson and Johnson, respectively.
It's set to be a barnburner between the man who's proven himself as Jones' greatest threat and another man who could prove a difficult test.
