Rumored Miocic vs Jones UFC 282 in December?

Should be recovered by now. He got surgery immediately after the Gane fight. They should wait for Francis if Jones is serious
We need fights, no more waiting. Who cares about titles..

It's August and Jiri-Glover 2 has been in discussion since practically right after the first fight ended 2 months ago. The fuck it gotta be another 4 months from now?

Alex just beat Strickland a minute ago and they're already booked for November. LHW has people waiting, MW might be scraping Rockhold off the bottom of the barrel soon. Let's get this shit rolling or move on
 
Why would he fight Stipe instead of Francis.
Cause its right before Ngannou's contract rans out, wins Interim, Francis holds to his grudge with the UFC so gets stripped, Jones gets promoted to Undisputed.

PS: Not a fan of that co-main event, it serves no purpose other than the idea of another good fight but that matchup has no point.

Francis' contract runs out in December and then he's a free agent. He kind of has the UFC by the balls right now. Whoever wins interim title between Stipe and Jon on December 10th will probably be made undisputed champ if Francis leaves.
 

What if this guy is just a ghost account of the UFC’s marketing/leadership to see how the masses would respond to the “fake” news?

They couldn’t put it out through a legit reporter because then they look like asses if the numbers don’t come back right. Good way to do a focused target study, to see what the best options are financially for matchmaking

Beyond the injury, Francis's future with the UFC is very up in the air atm. It's been 8 months since the Gane fight and he hasn't signed any sort of extension. Dana said there were no further developments the last time he was asked about it.
 
LHW and HW titles on the same card? thats pretty rare isnt it? Especially as the UFC would hope both of these matches are somewhat hyped.
