Media Dana White on Who is Next For Ngannou, Adesanya and Usman (if he wins)

Why in the world would you think that Stipe’s defenses would be included in this

im speaking as if this Ngannou Lewis fight happens
So in the last 8 HW title fights, Stipe was involved in 7 of them and was the champion in 6 of them. So why wouldn't his defenses be included?

Just interpreting your words literally and not reading your mind, they would be included and what you said would be wrong.

Assuming Ngannou-Lewis II happens, only 2 of the 9 most recent title fights will have not involved Stipe. It's basically just just a coincidence that Lewis will have been the challenger in both of them, different champions though.

I'm sure both the UFC and the fans would rather see Ngannou-Jones, but Jones is kind of pricing himself out of the fight at the moment.

The whole point is that people are saying Stipe’s defense have been against weak opponents
 
I highly doubt Kamaru accepts the rematch.

Then again who knows - maybe the UFC made a deal with Kamaru that he can have another Jorge payday as long as he takes a rematch with Colby afterwards.

Why wouldn't he accept the rematch? He is the better fighter. He finished Colby. He broke Colby's jaw. Colby hasn't been fighting and likely hasn't improved as much as Usman. Usman likely finishes Colby in an earlier round in the rematch (and effectively ends Colby's career...never gets another title shot).

"If Whittaker isn't ready"

is Dana about to try to push Whittaker for a super quick turnaround and when Rob wants a few more weeks Dana will go "Rob didn't want it"

The only thing that might make this drag out if they think they can do a big stadium show over here again, we're at full stadium capacity nearly everywhere now.
 
Makes sense, all 3 are next guys in line for the shot.
 
That June card looking awfully thin right now...

Think Figgy/Moreno is on that card so yeah they need something on top of that. Conor/Dustin in July and figure Ngannou/Lewis in Aug, Jan/Glover in Sept.

Izzy probably wants in there soon and June would be the card to put him on, either Bobby or Vettori.
