Curtis Blaydes isn’t allowed to fight Jon Jones. Uncle Chael said so.

[lilric]

Ain’t no way Jones is fighting anybody not named Francis/Stipe

[SankofaNYC]

DC is such a professional... Cause I know he is annoyed by Jones constantly, but he approaches it all like a professional

[ef]

Bigi Boy Vs Lewis would be a sick fight to watch

[xeftones]

Jon Jones vs Francis Ngannou in a 3 round fight with Mario Yamasaki as ref.

[uriel]

Chandler nearly got a title shot without even stepping foot inside the ufc octagon and a guy who have'nt lost his ufc belt for decades has to fight for his spot at a title shot?.common DC.

[Lucas-vqpz]

The only fights that make sense for jones now is stipe or ngannou

[richarddavis]

No way Jones doesn’t get an immediate title fight at heavyweight lol

[janha]

No way Jones fights for anything less than a title fight as pay per view main event
Either vs winner of Miocic/ Ngannou for hw title or vs Adesanya for lhw title in case Adesanya gets that

[nidmo]

He sounds like Blade's manager 😂😂. Actually it makes sense only to you.

[saurabhburange]

So you're telling me Conor, Cejudo, Nunes, Izzy, GSP all the champions get direct shot at title moving up but the champion who has one the best legacies has to fight with someone below top 5 to get a shot? LOL. TOO BITTER.

[timfilipiuk]

DC’s dislike for Jones is seen here and Ariel know it...

[galaxys]

The fight to make is Jon and Stipe the greatest lightheavyweight vs the greatest heavyweight and sorry Francis...

[darylwright]

If Jones waits to fight for the Championship first than he wont be fighting until 2022.

[nathanielkang]

Don’t want to see blaydes Jones since blaydes is just going to try to hug him the whole fight

[georgewright]

Does Jon want to sit and wait for Stipe to fight Ngannou and then recover ? If Jon wants to sit let him but if he doesn't Blaydes is a good fight

[NotMatthewMcconaughey]

Jon gains nothing fighting Blades, DC just bitter

[DavidBenson]

Ariel is right. That's a dumb idea DC lol.

[kshitijdobriyal]

Dc does not want jon to win heavyweight he knows this will make him the goat no one will be closer

[NotKimiRaikkonen]

I'm down. I like these match ups. Blaydes/Jones fights the winner of Francis/Stipe, plus Lewis gets to bang with Rozenstruik
