Pavlovich vs Gane
If jones and ngannou are going to sit then make if for the interim. I think Sergei has leapfrogged blades at this point.
That would suck for Curtis, who is really deserving, and showed real progresses in his last fights IMO.
But from a fan viewpoint, I'd rather see Gane fight Pavlovitch. If it happens, Ciryl should probably NOT fight like he did against Tai. For example, I don't think Pavlovitch would've missed the opportunity to finish Gane after the KD in the Gane/Tai fight.
Although Gane's style is obviously not based on 1 shot KOs, he himself has yet to be finished (in any combat sports), showed really fast recovery against Tai ; he also can bring fights to the latter rounds, with a good gas tank, and obviously good athleticism.
Whoever wins the hypothetical Gane/Pavlovitch fight would send a strong message though.
If Jones actually fights someday, and turns out to be competitive (he's younger than Ngannou after all) , HW might become a quite interesting division. It will also depend on how Tom's injury heals. He'd be a great loss for HW.
