Forget Stipe, is Jones vs Poatan the best fight the UFC can make right now?

[ChuFye]

Alex wants to fight at HW and he’s earned his shot with a stellar performance to close out a centenary card.


My proposal: Jones vs Poatan and Ank vs Jiri for number one contender


While Jones in all likelihood only wants one more fight in the UFC and they shouldn’t waste it on a washed Stipe who hasn’t fought in years.

Jones vs Poatan has no downside, if Pereira loses he faced the GOAT in a heavier weight class… if he wins he becomes a household name and a top UFC draw. The UFC would have someone to replace Jones drawing power.

What do you guys think?

Jones shoots a double leg & elbows the hell out of Alex

 

[BetoG695]

i dont think jones stands with him.... i think he just takes him down like he did Gane

 

[boingyman]

I'm down for this matchup assuming Jones will be in top shape for the fight.

 

[OldBoy91]

Fuck that. Jones would be licking his chops at the prospect of fighting a guy who was reversed on the ground and then controlled by fucking Izzy.

Aspinall beats all these guys anyway so just give him the fight, he is inevitable.

would probably be a better payday right now then JJ vs Stipe tbh

Not only are you eager to forget Stipe, you seem unable to remember there's currently also an interim champ for the HW title too who should have dibs far before a jumped up middleweight.

 

[Throttlehead]

Aspinall beats them both

Saint Jones fighting days are over. He is entering priesthood, and is on his way to become The Pope

Lol someone sounds scared of their cheater GOAT getting KOd by a real GOAT in Alex

 

[clackers]

After Jones fights Stipe I think it’s Aspinal who should get the fight against Jones.

Alex should defend a couple times then when the time is right have a crack at the heavyweight belt.

 

[Prime Goku]

Would sell crazy PPV's but Bones subs him inside the first, and easily as well.

 

[YourBoss]

lol no. Jones has to fight Aspinal. Stop with this circus fight bullshit. also pereira would stand very little chance since he has no groundgame.

UPDATE:

Bones wants Poatan







Original OP:

 

[Question]

Tom, it's the only fight that makes sense to unify the titles
Pereira should be fighting Ankalaev next

 

[italiamusica]

VS Aspinall for the title and then Pereira if anything.

Jones looking to continue his tradition of whooping on former middleweights

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

Unless some crazy Nate vs Conor BMF Fight at the Sphere... Jon vs Alex is the biggest fight the UFC can put together ...

 

[Gabe]

He will fight his wife or blast some nose beers next.

 

[VinceArch]

Tom Aspinall just because he's a legit HW who is in his prime.

I'd agree but he included Tom so your post doesn't make sense. Everyone hates Jones they are going to pick Tom because that's the most realistic option of him losing.
