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?
