“The UFC wants Stipe Miocic to defend the heavyweight title against Francis Ngannou in March,” wrote ESPN's Ariel Helwani said. “The title fight isn’t a done deal yet, but that is definitely what the promotion wants, I’m told. In a perfect world, the UFC would like for the winner of that fight to defend the belt against Jones in the summer, sources say.”
Bullshit, Jones should have to face Blaydes before a title shot.
okay I don't get this.. Stepe already beat Francis. Jones I think should still have to have one match before he gets the tite shot but that's my opinion.

I'm OK with the long time undefeated LHW Champ getting an immediate title shot.

Yeah, it's called a rematch. Just like Cormier/Miocic
I'll believe it when I see it

I would rather see Ngannou vs Jones in a title contender fight; winner gets Stipe.

Helwani makes it sound like Jones is the prize, not Stipe/Ngannou

Did you miss the part where Francis KO’d 4 top contenders in under 3 minutes
I think he deserves the shot

How about JJ vs Francis stipe gets winner. He already beat Francis once and I don’t think the outcome will be different
No way Jones fights at heavy. It's all marketing noise. But all the marketing in the world cant undo the big brothering hes faced from his bros. Bones knows.
