**** off with this bull****. Bones isn't fighting Rashad because Zuffa doesn't want him to. He said that he wasn't getting the surgery a couple months ago before Rampage beat Hamill. That was more than enough time for them to find a new main event for 133 and promote Evans/Jones for 135. If they really wanted to make the fight, there's absolutely nothing that Jones could do to duck it. DW has repeatedly said that any champ in the promotion who refuses to fight his designated opponent will be cut. And exactly what is it about Jones that makes you think he's ducking anybody at 205? It can't be anything that's happened in the cage because he's dominated everybody that they've put in front of him. in fact, the antipathy between Jones and Rashad started when Jones said that he would be willing to fight him. Let me guess. You're one of the people who's still pissed about the fact that he was "arrogant" enough to claim that he could beat Shogun in the run up to their fight.
It's sad but if he beat evans then he could probably get a title shot. Talk about coming from a losing streak and people telling you need to retire to coming back and shocking the world by beating bader and now he could be one win away from getting another title shot.
