Who is the HW champ in two title fights?

So we know Dana said “Stipe agreed to fight Jones” just to fuck with Francis with the implication being that the Gane Lewis winner can just fight the Stipe Jones winner if Ngannou don’t sign for the next bout agreement for the price and date the UFC wants but still… the next two HW title fights are very interesting.

Its is…
Fight 1: Ngannou vs Gane for Ngannou’s world title.
Fight 2: winner of Fight 1 vs either Jones, Stipe, or the winner of Jones vs Stipe.

Its actually a great four man tourny IF Stipe and Jones actually fought before one of them get the title shot after Gane.

Just seems like Jones and Stipe are not long for the UFC at this point and Ngannou is not to happy. Feels like only Gane who will even be around in three years but who knows.

Four great talents in the title picture in a division that hit a lull.

Sidenote- Bellator has a great HW fight booked between Fortune and Minakov for Bellator Moscow in October. I think Minakov is a 2-1 fav and can beat any of the top four UFC HWs if he got to compete with them. You also have Moldavsky in that Bellator HW title picture even though the current champ is down at LHW in the GP.

Some fun HW fights booked between the world’s top 20, Blaydes Rozensturik and Volkov Tybura booked too as well as Abdurakhimov vs Daukaus, Khartionov vs Kongo and Tuivasa vs Harris.

Fedor vs Johnson is the most nonsensical fight possible for 44 year old Fedor but that topic was already covered in another thread.

I think Ngannou defends vs both Gane and either Jones or Stipe and he is still champ after the next two title fights.

Place your bets, leave your pics in the comments.
