No, just because he has a gameplan for victory (spam takedowns, get one, lay on Jones while punching him). I don't bet favs bigger than -400 or so unless the other guy has no real gameplan for victory (eg. people with no TDD like Diaz against GSP, strikers against Anderson Silva, etc.)
I may even put a half unit or something on Sonnen if I can get +700 or better just for the sweat because I want to see Jones lose and he did look vulnerable against Belfort at times.
Machida is probably the man to dethrone Jones if he isn't going to be a 5 year plus champion, if not then the next most likely guy is Chael, then probably someone who isn't even in the UFC yet. Gustafsson is good but matches up poorly with Jones, and I don't see anyone else threatening him at LHW unless Anderson moves up and wants a title shot or unless someone makes the cut from HW (either JDS or Cain being the most likely guys to beat him)
I'd like to see JDS drop to LHW and fight for the title if he loses the rubber match against Cain once he earns another shot, he walks around at 239 so he could probably make the cut fairly easily with a proper camp and some minor weight cutting
