Don't see why he'd deserve this fight coming off two losses. Lewis vs JDS would make more sense right now.
Arlovski is fighting Abdurakhimov in September at UFC MoscowNgannou should fight Arlovski's upcoming opponent on prelims so we can get Arlovski vs JDS.
What I said was he should fight Ngannou instead. Ngannou does not deserve JDS after that performance.Arlovski is fighting Abdurakhimov in September at UFC Moscow
Well Arlovski also lost his last fight so that doesn't make sense, Ngannou is ranked ahead of JDS, someone that wins usually fights guys above him, not under.What I said was he should fight Ngannou instead. Ngannou does not deserve JDS after that performance.

“I have no injuries. This year I want to fight. Who I want to fight, exactly? I was supposed to fight Junior almost a year, 10 months ago. He just came back. Great win. So, maybe that one.”
In White’s view, it was Ngannou’s “out of control ego” that led to the recent two losses against former champion Stipe Miocic and Derrick Lewis.
“I had some personal encounters with him, as did other people in the organization, and this guy’s ego was just so out of control,” White said of Ngannou during the UFC 226 post-fight presser. “It’s like, before the Stipe fight, he took off and went to France. Didn’t even really train for that fight. And you see the results.”
“Well, he came back and did train [this time], but ego is what hurt Francis Ngannou.”

“I don’t necessarily agree I have an ego,” Ngannou said. “I’m never one to stay down when I fell down. You have to have that ego when you’re a fighter. You have to stand there and believe you’re No. 1. That’s ego. But not the one to hurt the people around me.”
