9 Jimi Manuwa

Smith and Santos are chinny and have sustained a lot of damage already. They are not going to remain in the top 10 long. Reyes has a chance but still too early to tell. Volkan is still dangerous but not not well rounded enough. You cant have any holes in your game against Jones.Smith and Santos are on a roll. Reyes is too, but might get Yair Rodriguez'd badly, who knows? These are all potential matchups. Maybe Volkan.
On another note, whatever happened with Volkan's "legal challenges"?
All the more reason to move up to HWNobody. Everybody else is easy work for Jones. Division is essentially dead and future Jones PPV numbers will be low.
All the more reason to move up to HW
As opposed to what? Sticking around and fighting more LHW goofs like Anthony freaking Smith? What's the point? At least hw is a fresh division with fresh matchups and it has that what if intrigue.He beat the champ of HW twice in not really close fights. That champ beat the division's former GOAT in one round. Don't know what he could possibly be looking to accomplish. At least at LHW he still has a belt and is in title fights. Also if Jones leaves whoever the LHW champ is will always be seen as a pretender even more than DC.

At LHW it's Reyes, but most would agree Reyes isn't ready just yet.
