Stipe vs Jan is the fight to make, IMO, if Jan wants to dip his toe in the water. Similar size. If Stipe’s size was a problem, then why bother with the heavier guys, just head back down to 205. I wonder if this is what Jones was thinking, too…
Jan is dangerous but I don’t think he has anything for Francis or Gane. I think he could contend with Stipe.
Anderson fought in the weakest division for many years, moved up a couple of times to fight Taylor made opponents, Jan would dominate Prime Silva
