JaguarCrazy2832 Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 If Curtis Blaydes beats Volkov(assuming that fight still happens, he'd have 4 in a row. Would he need 2 more wins to get a shot assuming the next 2 HW title shots are between DC/Stipe/Ngannou Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or probably won't be if it was a recent one. Shogun Rua The beating Dan Henderson put on him took his chin. He went from 20-5 and perennial title contender to 6-6-1 and barely at gatekeeper status. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure who remembers that but leben was the betting favorite and was like 15-1 going into the fight. after that beat down he finished his career like 7-10 or something crazy. He was 1 fight from a title shot and never sniffed it again. Edited May 18, 2020 by Big Snack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d think Usman/Masvidal. I doubt they wanna do a Conor fight soon with no gate He vacated and they already had Benavidez fight for it and was KO'd by a dude that missed weight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

11sanchez11 Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 Jon Jones vs. Francis Ngannou is the best fight the UFC can make. Hopefully it gets done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idk if Francis takes that fight. He has so much more to lose. Almost any other HW era, he's fighting for the belt now. If he fights Jones and loses, then Jones very likely fights winner of DC/Stipe and if its DC's swan song then you give it Stipe/Jones. Most title defenses in Stipe vs most decorated LHW champ ever while Francis just smashes everyone else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be interesting. Woodley has been for a year+ after looking foolish losing his belt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaguarCrazy2832 Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 Is it just me or is light heavyweight more top-heavy than it has been in a while? Santos and Reyes both have claim to a rematch with Jones and of course there's Jan too. I feel like you need Bones to fight 1 of those 3, and have the other 2 fight for a #1 contender spot but considering loads of people want to see the Jones/Ngannou fight I'm guessing someone is left out in the cold at LHW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Under no circumstances should someone like Jan Blachowicz be in the top 5 or be considered a title contender but here we are. 15 hours ago, JaguarCrazy2832 said: Idk if Francis takes that fight.

I don't think Ngannou has many other options for a fight right now until they figure out what they're doing w Stipe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the very least there are options we haven't seen or options that made good fights at LHW. Ngannou has no other options because at least Jones gets him a massive payday but any other fight is less money and can do just as much damage to his immediate title ambitions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
