He ****** himself out of his claims to the 205 title when he decided to behave like the selfish, reckless, junkie that he is when he committed a FELONY hit and run that nearly killed somebody. That incident could have, by the way, resulted in more felonies against Jones to it if the police were motivated to. He's lucky he isn't in a state penitentiary for being the same ******** he has been since he was 24.
So yeah, no. Jones has no right to anything he held. He lost the privilege to be considered a champion. Hell, he's lucky that he still has his career at all. If it was some lower level fighter in the UFC did what Jones did, Dana and company would have turned their backs and allow them to get ****** by the legal system.

I'd have to agree with greenhornet a little more here. When you're a public figure you're expected to uphold a higher standard than the average person. JBJ wasn't living a good life and it caught up with him.
I can't say for sure if he should get an immediate shot at the title, but I really find myself saying why not? Aside from Bader, DC has beaten the elite of the division. The UFC is in the business of making money and their DC/JBJ will make a good amount of it.
Now to the real topic of this thread - I really don't see how Bader can get past Rumble. DC has shown one way to beat him, but Bader isn't really known to be a grinding fighter lately and Glover proved he can be KO'd in a heartbeat. Kudo's to him for making the strides he has, but we're going to be seeing that JBJ/Rumble match that never happened at UFC 187 in mid 2016.

Jones-Cormier and Bader-Johnson makes a lot more sense.
