After Jones/Gane, there is little left for Tom

[Human Bass]

HW is extremely shallow. There is Jailton, but it is a matter of TDD.

And after that...rematch Blaydes or Volk?

The only decent promise we have is Tallison Teixeira and we have yet to be certain about him.

If Aspinall manages to break Stipe record, there is little else to do besides retire in mma and do some boxing for easy saudi money.

And no, Porter Parker is not a contender

 

[TITS]

You're right, he should just retire now.

 

[Travis Alexander]

should have paid Ngannou his worth and let him fight Fury and HW wouldn’t be in quite this bad of a predicament. We would at least have the best HW’s in the world under the same banner and it would make for more compelling matchups as more up and comers moved through the ranks.

Even though the HW is shallow, Jones still refuses to fight any other HW apart from white belt Gane and AARP Stipe

 

[torturescorcher]

Make sure you all sign the petition to have Jones stripped of the belt, if he won't fight Aspinall. It's on Change.org.

Lol @ StAARPAé Miocic

AARP Stipey would make you his wife.

 

[Prazeres]

Remember when Cain spend all of his prime fighting Big Foot and JDS over and over again.

 

[froggyluv]

Bring back Francis

 

[Takes Two To Tango]

Forget about the future, lets see we can make these fights happen now. Worry about the future when it happens.

And things change, guys who were in the top 5. A year from now is different than it was.

Almost every division is. LHW if Alex beat Ank he would have to rematch Jiri for a 3rd time, Jan or Jamahal.And Ank now will rematch Alex and then fight the same guys he already beat like Jan.

MW DDP just rematched Strickland and then what? Adesanya 2? Whittaker 2?

LW Islam would have rematched Charles or Arman and thats it (other than Ilia).

Pantoja is just rematching the same dudes at this point.

All the divisions are absolute dog**it at the moment.

 

[omawho402]

Tom vs Gane is the fight to make

 

[Koala]

Jones, then Cereal, then Almeida, then a guy like Blaydes, Pavlovitch, or Volkov on a winning streak
By then, you will have maybe 1 or 2 contenders such as Teixeira, Mario Pinto
This division needs fights and matchmaking

Could be wrong but think one of the Big foot fights was maybe a short notice type deal? Looking back I really can't think of any other reason why he'd get a rematch .

Was it the 1st or 2nd fight where Big foot got sliced open so badly the cage looked like the killing floor of an abattoir?

 

[TheNewGame]

He would've fought Overeem if Reem was able to beat Bigfoot. Instead we got Cain/Bigfoot 2

 

[Snake Fist]

Around the world there is genuine talent out there, UFC just refuse to pay top dollar to entice them in. Instead they seek out average talent and pay them 10 and 10 if they win for their starting fights.

The best in the world rarely fight the best anymore, and this could not be more apparent in the way they bend the knee to Bones.

Hell they gave us Jon VS Stipe for crying out loud, and that was a complete embaressment in itself.

MW has Caio that is really good and ducked hard.

 

[Tweak896]

There's Almeida and Gane, and anyone UFC can build up as a contender after them. Possibly UFC can poach Ngannou back if PFL drops the ball like they are doing. But yeah, of the active roster Aspinall vs anyone besides Jones can't really carry a card or sell crazy.

 

[Mohawk Banditó]

Volkov should already have earned his rematch if not for Jones. Add in Gane and Almeida and that's 3 right there. Some divisions can only be in envy of that many near the top contenders.

That enough would give time for people like Waldo or Rizvan to build up, or Gaziev to convince people his gassing against Rozen was a one time issue, or procure more HW talent from other orgs

The fact that UFC still hasnt signed Buchecha is depressing
