I appreciate that .. for sure. But it's been a fuck of a long time, and the HW title picture has gotten very murky. I WANT for him to fight for the HW title. I can see why he would wait. I can also see why Dana swerved the title fight before. If Jones beat Francis in the last fight of his contract then they stand a good chance of losing Francis. With him remaining champion as he did. Him leaving is a lot more complicated for him and likely would take forever.
But still. It's been a while now
I think if Francis wasn't hurt this fight would have been signed alredy. Jon will either face Stipe in a interim or Francis if his knee is ready in time. I think we'll see Jon by the end of the year if it's Stipe and depending on Francis health, end of year or early 2023.
