I can only see blades\Spivac giving him a fight because of his wrestling credentials or aspinal if he recover well from the injury but not big threats from these 2 neither tbh, i thought gane was his major challenge in the division (him and ngannou for the scary power)Well I was wrong about Shev but god damn ... I've always been a Jones fan ... he's the GOAT. Without a fucking doubt.
Shitty person. GOAT fighter.
Also he'll work anyone at heavyweight. LHW was much tougher competition.
Stipe is definitely a major challenge for him too. I thought Jones was going to struggle with Gane on the feet then burn juice trying for takedowns after he’s taken damage, but he fought beautifully. Stipe, however, will be a threat on the feet and has good wrestling; it’ll be a great fight.I can only see blades giving him a fight because of his wrestling credentials or aspinal if he recover well from the injury but not big threats from these 2 neither tbh, i thought gane was his major challenge in the division (him and ngannou for the scary power)

Was it not just that he wanted more money?
That Gamrot fight was a snorefest. He's got to be among the most boring fighters ever if that's the style he does in his matches.
Yeah, that groin shot situation was some bullshit.Jones fight was a bit of a let down after such a long wait. As expected Gane had nothing for him on the ground but I wish we would've seen some more striking. Jones at HW honsetly remains a bit of a mystery.
Shev - Grasso was a good fight. Grasso has some really sharp boxing, I wish we had more WMMA fights this good. Great win for her.
Bo Nickal's nut shot into takedown combo was bullshit. Blind ref, blind/biased commentary, UFC deliberately not showing the replay angle where you could see it.
I don't really follow MMA anymore like I used to, just casually check in on things. So I'm not as in touch with things as I used to be. But a fighter deciding to leave because they know they can get paid much better elsewhere and then the UFC saying he's a pussy for not wanting to fight whoever is the next contender is something that's been going on for decades now.Possibly but also his knees were busted in his last fight vs gane which is part of the reason he wrestled gane and maybe he didn’t like his chances at defending going forth and wanted to cash in his hype before the possible fall and I guess he thinks he can get it done and get a lot more boxing with Tyson hopefully he cashes in quick and then can make a return to fight Jones I don’t believe Dana for a second on Francis never fighting in ufc again. But the situation is still messy because Tyson still needs to do his fight with Usyk if that doesn’t happen soon I think Tyson said he will fight Francis
Back in the Pride FC days there were multiple heavyweights who had been world champions in different disciplines. People like Fedor, Cro Cop, Josh Barnet, Yoshida and Mark Hunt. There's no one like that in the modern UFC. I think a big part of it is the way they have taken away fighter's ability to make money from sponsorship. Combined with the low pay, many champions from other disciplines probably don't think it's worth crossing over.
