Regardless of what the rumor is, the point is the UFC needs to be prepared for ANY injury regarding the the next two LHW matches. I think that is why they announced the Shogun/Gustaffsson fight as #1 contender. The winner of that could easily slip into the #1 contender matchup between Hendo/Machida or the Jones/Sonnen fight.
Yes, I understand a lot of us want to see Dan get his LHW shot (myself included), but at this point, his biggest enemy is the condition of his knee.
