please let alex fight for the hw belt next

[dogsdonutsdragons]

or have him fight jones.

what are your thoughts?

i think when everything has lined up like this is extremely rare and it just makes perfect sense. It would be a shame to see alex lose at lhw and miss the opportunity a an unmatchable run. Hes not a young prospect. If there is a time to make the fight the time is now. I think there are two fights for jones before he packs it up- alex or stipe or both.


other fights that make sense are izzy at lhw- i dont care to see this personally but izzy did KO alex.

thats it imo. i dont care to see him fight jamahal hill again and it doesnt make sense.

His fight with Jan was close but i really dont care to see it again. whos this leave in the division for an interesting fight?
The number one contender is Magomed. I just dont see how it makes sense to take that fight over a triple champ attempt.

there is no one left. dana talks about him needing to clear out a division. he beat jiri twice hill and jan. no one else is relevant besides Magomed . Maybe Khalil in a fight or two poses and interesting match up but i think what excites fans the most and inspires the most is seeing champions go for things that haven't been done before. henry blew his shot at getting the triple champ title. Alex is in position. Make it happen.

Would rather see Jones fight Tom but would absolutely watch Jon vs Alex.

Would rather see him defend LHW and have Tom vs Blaydes unify with Jon vs Stipe winner. Divisions are meaningless if no one defends anything. You only care about Alex because he is a UFC LHW & former MW champ. But that title is meaningless if we never see anyone actually defend against all contenders rather then just the ones that line up as good style match ups and will sell in the moment.

Would you care if Alex was signed off the kickboxing career and had never fought Izzy. Just a kickboxer coming to MMA to fight some HW and then they call it for a UFC Championship. No you wouldn't.

 

[THEfightsAREfixed]

jones destroying poatan would be cool

 

[RockyLockridge]

I think he should defend the LHW title a bit longer.

 

[MrBlackheart]

Jones vs Alex would be the biggest fight since Khabib vs Conor. But I if I had my way, Alex vs Ank and Jones vs Aspinall. 2 great fights is better than one.

 

[MRT]

No...more defenses at LHW.

 

[g*r*b]

No...more defenses at LHW.

Yes, this. And the HW belt still has to be reunified. Aspinall has to come before Poatan.

 

[Simple Southerner]

Ank at lhw then a top 10-15 hw

 

[wildchild88]

Perreira won't beat Aspinall or Jones, he should stick to LHW and keep doing big things there. Final fight with Izzy makes big sense too.

Aspinall's speed, power and grappling will be too much for Alex. Jones will sub him in the first..

 

[Mmmmmmma1234]

Im with you TS. The interim Champion is getting done dirty anyways.
Stipe isn't a real fight, but Jones and Alex for the hw belt is legendary stuff. The all time goat with roids vs the two div kickboxing killer. That's a win Jones can retire from or Alex might grow to be bigger than Conor.

The time is now.

Make Jones come to lhw. He just got fat was all.
