lol imagine pretending Jon Jones isn't a big deal in MMA. :rolleyes:

When did i say he wasn't a big deal? He IS.

It's not the typical champion vs champion superfight as you made it out to be though. Bones is not coming to the HW division with a belt attached to him. So he can fight a contender first. When champions typically move up for superfights, they still have the belt, so taking on contenders would hold up the division they moved up from.

Get it now?

I'm not the guy you were originally talking to. Jon doesn't need a belt attached to him for his HW Title fight. The fight is going to be huge and from the UFC's perspective why would they risk losing a super fight out of Jones? No offense but lol at saying Jon needs to fight a contender. That's a bad idea for both Jon and the UFC. Were talking about the LHW GOAT who has like 16 wins in Title fights and has never been defeated.

I don't think UFC will put Jon in any HW fight that isn't for the Title. They aren't going to risk Jon losing and lose their HW superfight. Stipe vs Jones incoming indeed.

Dana literally says in the exact same interview being quoted when asked about whether Jones gets the next shot at Stipe “No, no, no. He doesn’t get to jump over Francis and fight for a title”

This is Dana were talking about. His actions contradict what his words say on the regular.

If Jones fights a contender first it's because he wants it. Wouldn't be surprised tbh but he will probably just wait for the Miocic/Ngannou 2 winner that will most likely fight in March. If i had to guess Jones vs Ngannou/Miocic happens in July.

All the champs moving up have gotten instant title shots, why would Jones be the excepetion and beat a contender first?

Jones isn't a champion, there's a clear cut #1 contender, and Jones should get a fight instead of waiting for Stipe vs Ngannou or, worse, cutting in line and getting the next shot at Stipe. Ngannou could not have looked better his last bunch of fights. He's straight killed everyone he fought. Give him his shot!

If Jones beats Overeem, give him the next shot. Overeem is a great test for Jones - potentially winnable, but ultimately a tough fight stylistically.

Considering all the shit Jones has gotten into over the years, let him earn his fucking shot. Ngannou already earned his.

Dana said recently in an interview that ngannou is definitely next. So it’s not stipe vs jones yet

My stance on any superfight like that : nothing is official until the UFC sends a poster with two names and a date to all its social media accounts, and even then it's not really guaranteed to happen.

if that is the case then the fact that he and Jones are now good is also untrue. Both bits of info come from Dana in the same interview literally one sentence apart. You can’t say one is true and the other isn’t just because that is what you want to believe

Winning 16 Title fights at LHW isn't enough to fight the HW champ? He hasn't earned the fight? What?

What if Stipe would rather fight Jon instead of Francis? Does Stipe have a say so in all this? Jon is a fresh match-up for Stipe and does more for his legacy than beating Francis again.

i'm sure the champs probably have some influence as long as it isn't Stipe asking to defend against Roque Martinez
 
Jones will completely outclass stipe. As he is better everywhere. And the speed difference will be incredible.
Stipe is so plain Jane. With hardly any weapons. I thought dc won the third fight with him. And bones isn’t 42.
And we all know what jones did tondc.
Nganou will be jones toughest test by far out of the current crop. As he’s just dangerous which a lot of power punchers are but he’s a bit different.

but I’ve always hoped for an overeem bones fight. So if overeem can scrape some w’s. I hope we get that fight this year.
Say stipe beat nganou. And reem gets some wins. Bones makes stipe look like the son of Frankenstein but without the chin and pressure.

I want that fight.

To be honest I think Jon vs Stipe does more PPV's than Stipe and Francis. Everybody has been waiting to see Jon at HW for like a decade now. I feel like that fight will be huge. It probably makes a whole lot more sense to Stipe to fight Jon.

Literally no one cares


Jones is a fraud and White talks out of his ass 99% of the time.

yeah bones beat a lot of my favorite fighters too. But man. He’s the best mma guy I’ve ever seen outside of fedor in his prime. But bones fought the consistent better competition since he was like 21.
