“There aren’t really that many…”, How about there aren’t any, period? What a stupid, pointless fight. At least when Anderson cleaned the MW division he took 2 fights at 205 to make his fights interesting. What is Jones afraid of? He already beat the HW Champ. Penn has moved up, Conor has, Georges did, Anderson has…
Smith's last loss was less than a year ago. He lost to Thiago Santos who lost to Mousasi.
His only notable win was Volkan Oezdemir. Both Evans and Rua were way past their primes when he beat them.
Volkan Oezdemir went on a 5 fight win streak notably beating OSP, Cirkunov, and Manuwa before getting a title shot and losing to DC.
I agree. This makes no sense right now.
Conor goes up for Champ Champ
GSP goes up for Double Champ
DC goes up for Champ Champ
Nunes goes up for Champ Champ
Jones stays at comfortable LHW Champ!
Indont see any challenges for Jones at lhw.
Bones vs Cain is the match I am waiting for amd tonme the baddest man on the planet match.

I actually think Smith is a different type of fighter than Gus, Cormier, OSP or any of Jones most recent opponents and gets this done by TKO rd 2 or 3.....or Jones pisses hot....whichever happens first.
Big Jones fan but he really should move up.
TJ is fighting down to be champ champ
No issue with the best fighting the next in line. Jones can’t help it if the LHW division has a dearth of talent right now. Let him prove he can get through a card without any controversy before moving up to fight DC.

While Jones himself is probably not "overrated", his career definitely is. He's the biggest waste of potential I've ever seen. Most of his notable wins were against past their prime legends.
I think him constantly getting suspended actually helped his career because who the hell would he be fighting if he was active that whole time?

He is pissing hot but apparently it doesn't matter anymore. At least for Jon.
it doesn't matter if Smith doesn't deserve it. the ufc will fed Jones anyone to sell.ppvs and try to rebuild Jones's rep. they've got very few ppv draws atm
would rather see Santos vs Jones but Smith has also earned a shot
A question mark in the title. slow clap
NHBDaddy -would rather see Santos vs Jones but Smith has also earned a shot
Guessing he might be next
Biggest Gimmy fight for a Champ in a long time. I think this is to give Jones some time off. He can sleepwalk and win this fight.
If that fight headlines the PPV doesn’t crack 250K.
Ž???Ž???Ž???
well there will be some piss tests to pass b4 this fight can happen
