Fedor would easily make 205 too because he's a small HW. No chance he would've dropped down though right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said he has a kid on the way and wants to fix somethings in his game. But if Bones decides he's ready after this next fight then it could be a long wait. I'd personally rather see Gane get it after the way Bones is playing it so hopefully Dana bypasses him to make a point. We all know how petty he can be lol.

If Lewis is really the next title shot, then Gane cant wait because when Jon says he's ready all bets are off. No chance Dana makes a point and skips a ready Bones for Gane. Its not like Gane is putting people into the shadow realm or a major draw either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would probably depend on who wins Francis/BB. If Francis wins, there's your draw for a Gane fight but if Lewis wins, they might need Bones' name value to sell it.

I just dont think he's going to operate that way. If Jones gives Dana a $ amount that Dana is willing to pay he will book that fight no matter what because it is the biggest fight to make without question.

It wouldn't surprise me if he magically liked the UFC's number and "something happens to Derrick Lewis" 2 weeks before he fights Ngannou.

NYRaider Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 The only way we ever get to see Jones vs Francis is if one of them gets hurt and he saves the card like Masvidal did vs Usman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see how Lewis has a shot in this one tbh. Dana is so petty man. Francis agreed to September but that wasn't good enough, so he goes the complete opposite direction and makes an interim title. I'm pumped for Gane but that blows for Francis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His next fight will be defending the belt. Nothing changes for him. I don't get the hate everyone has over interim titles. It doesn't affect the champion at all, it just brings more hype to the title eliminator, as well as the eventual title fight that's going to be billed as champion vs champion. Why is that a bad thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dana clearly wants a Gane vs Francis matchup in France as the first main event there and having two French champions facing each other is a great way to break into that market. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is that a bad thing? Because they're pointless, Francis offered to fight in September and just fought what, 3 months ago? Why give an IC belt out when other champions go like a year in between fights and the division just has to wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
