If Dricus Du Plessi is out with a broken shin bone he should vacate because that would mean 18 months layoff or more

[BayArea34]

That is only if it´s confirmed to be a broken shin bone and all he needs is to be promised a TS upon his return everybody wins in such a scenario. If he is out with minor injury like something that takes 2 months etc etc then he doesn´t need to vacate just rebook the fight to August or September they are both hot no reasons too keep the fans waiting for longer.

If Dricus´ injury is proven to be long term and broken shin bone then Dana has to prepare to announce a new fight for the MW title fight.

If he has indeed broken his shin bone he will be out for nearly two years. Best option is to offer him an automatic TS upon his return

If true that could he a career altering injury.

 

[RockyLockridge]

Could be a hair line fracture

The ivory coast's #1 son should not be rushed back to the octagon like a common criminal.

Fuck i would rather he keeps his belt for a year and a half then Jon keeping his for several years while he sucks wieners and does drugs

In Jon Jones´ case is very rare because his an old legend who can retire at anytime hence the UFC is catering to him in order to squeeze out him the very last few fights and not to forget prime Jon Jones himself vacated twice for different reasons because he was looking at lengthy layoffs

It's not the same he is holding up the entire division. He needs to get moving

I don't understand how DDP is training hard enough to break shins in between training camps with no fight scheduled. At least Jones was about to show up to fight Stipe with his injury. Something just seems off.

apparently his injury is overstated.. i am hearing it is short term injury hence entire thread becomes moot

Dude just fought in November and it's April and y'all are tripping.

Even if he fights in nov again that's 2 fights in what 4 years and 1 of them was against a dude who was retired and unranked

He's not fighting 2 more times unless Ngannou comes back to the UFC or the UFC loses their balls and actually co-promotes with PFL.

Jon will beat Tom and make it look easy and retire as the MMA GOAT.

What's Jones' contracted fight frequency?

 

[snugglecakes]

vacating cause you are trying to do the right honorable thing historically hasn't paid off. He should just hoard that shit if jon is gonna

Jon never vacated anything. He was stripped. Not the same thing at all.

I find it funny the UFC is letting Jon fuck around. To the point they haven't had a HW title fight in ages. Is one last Jon fight worth the 4-6 or more title fights they could have had? Is it worth the damage done to the UFC HW lineage? I simply don't see why Jon is worth all of this.

If he does that's cool at least something happened in the cage with the guy

 

[Pechan]

Thats what interim titles are for, he would be a complete retard to vacate

Fuck this BS picking two random names to fight for a vacant title. If Dricius needs to vacate they have to have a legit tournament to crown a real champion.

Izzy vs Strickland winner faces Khamzat
Whittaker vs Borrhlho winner faces Imavov

Winner is crowned MW champion. DDP gets a title shot on his return.

That gets us a legit champ and not a joke like the LHW title was when it was a Vacant title on every event for months at a time.
