a few words from a morally outraged public and dana white doesnt change that...the fact that he no longer holds the ufc belt doesnt change that...if you'll be happy watching the winner of comier/johnson strut around like they actually deserve to be champion then more power to you...they will never be the best until they beat jon jones

My interest in the 205lb division is fleeting at best, and only exists on occasion anyways so if Jones left and never returned, it doesn't really bother me even if it does sully the division. Kind of like with Cain Velasquez always injured, who cares? Heavyweight MMA is abysmal. 185-125 is so much better.

Don't get me started on P4P rankings.

Not the first time a champion has been stripped of his title without losing a fight. Doesn't make Renan Barao or TJ Dillashaw undeserving champions, and it won't make DC or Rumble undeserving champs. Think of it like this, the really close title fight between Bones and Gus...say Gus got the nod in that fight, then defended his title against Manuwa, then lost it to Rumble. Rumble is making his first title defense against DC if ya look at it like that. If you skew the facts. Also my list hasn't been updated in forever so don't h8.
