If Stipe defeats Francis easily and especially if he finishes him, then Jones would be...

I doubt jon actually fights at heavyweight.
I think it heavily relies on what happens in Stipe v Francis 2. If stipe convincingly beats Ngannou again and particularly if he doesn’t take much damage in doing so, I’m not sure I believe jones will ever fight stipe.

If he was so willing, why doesn’t he just do it now? What, the ufc doesn’t wanna make the best super fight available??? It’s the best fight they could probably ever make. There’s a real argument. Why take a chance on Fucking that up with francis first?

i dont think jones would want to fight ngannou either.

I believe he prefers it to stipe. I have a hard time seeing why he would delay the title fight with stipe when stipe is the consensus best ufc heavyweight ever. The accolades and implications and the weight of that fight would be huge in terms of historical significance.

Can’t find a reason why he would let a guy like francis potentially foil that opportunity, but yeah I guess you could be right in saying the whole thing has just been one big bluff
 
Post usada gate jones doesnt easily beat stipe or ngannou. Or even reem or blaydes really. Leg kick volume makes the difference in a few of these, imo.

Etherway, your talking about a guy that couldn't put away smith, santos, or reyes. And you think he's going dominate stipe so easily.

i think these guys moving up want to really make sure they are at their best. so jones wouldnt do a gus and just turn up at hw without acclimating his body to it and getting himself into peak performance shape. the days of guys like bj and hendo floating inbetween divisions is a thing of the past. also the longer he waits the better, stipe getting a bit older.. that will play in his favor.
 
Even though I think Jon lost to Reyes and hasn't looked that dominant in his last few fights, whoever he faces at heavy weight, I can't bet against him. Hopefully he doesn't do anything stupid and get himself in trouble so we can see him fight multiple times in the division. If Jon Jones gets the HW title in 2021, he will no doubt be the GOAT and greatest fighter of all time.
