Francis has been on a roll ever since the odd Lewis fight, I think he's able to stop Stipe's takedowns this time and I also give him the striking advantage to pull out the UD this time through.
I saw JJ giving up the strap for some time now but doesn't mean this doesn't suck. With DC retired the division is very thin and in need of new blood. I don't mind a Jan/Reyes vacant fight, then Santos fighting winner if he gets past Glover though.

I am assuming Jones thought process is Francis potentially wins that Stipe fight followed by a massive summer fight where Jones comes back to fight for the heavyweight title against Francis and get closer to that pay day he has been wanting

Main card for 253 looking better with Reyes/Jan.
Bones bout to leapfrog Francis, watch. Stipe doesn’t wanna fight Francis again.

Are you saying Stipe's scared of Francis or he would rather fight Bones? If the latter I just don't see JJ stepping in at HW before next year so he likely waits on the winner and then tries to make his case for a big payday.

I don't see Bones stepping in that fast either. He has way more to gain letting Stipe/Francis fight first

I don’t think Stipe is scared, I just think he’s at the twilight of his career and at this point even though Francis has rebuilt himself well, Stipe prob looks at it like been there, done that. Bones is a legitimate cash out fight.
There’s only two options for him...it’s Francis, It’s Jon...then it’s go home and be a family man.

O’malley aint the tuffest kid is he?
between this and the soukumtath fight, he looking mad frail.
Welp, the hypetrain derailed itself. The matchups only gonna get tougher for him now.
And good for jones. I assume he gets the title shot right away....dominant champ vacates to move up, seems about right. Unless he takes a warm up fight to acclimate....we’ll see.
Not sure where jon goes after HW title shot, don't see him sticking around defending it, maybe he drops back down to fight the winner of jan vs reyes? Retires a 2 division champ? Maybe retires after he fights stipe?
the end is near for jon, and how DC talked about stepping away like MJ or Manning....thats gonna be jon if he plays these last few fights right.
he fighting for that storybook ending at this point. Its just so hard to pull of in MMA...

so no izzy and jones in 2021?

Well if Izzy knocks out Costa in impressive fashion then the Jones fight is absolutely back on the table as a possibility. It's all about who's hot as far as these "superfights" go.

Jones and Izzy fight wasn't ever happening imo.

I think it could happen. Bro. Uncle Dana is following the money, which is why he’s willing to entertain GSP/Khabib. Or to a much lesser extent, Colby and Figueiredo.

I feel the same way. If Izzy can win the Costa fight and another fight to build up to a summer fight next year that is a massive payday

Imagine that Card. We’d call it Summerslam 2021.
Izzy vs JBJ for the intercontinental HW title. And GSP/Khabib for the wrestleduck championship.

Oh I know it's a money fight and Dana would love to make it. Just too many variables imo. Money, weight, time.

So who think Costa wins?
JBJ arguably the real GOAT of the UFC.
I think he is super smart in the ring and would out fight both Stipe and Francis.
Is like when Roy Jones JR moved up to fight Ruiz .. he's smart got him the fight.
Only chance is a lucky haymaker from Francis.

Costa might be juiced enough to walk through anything that dork izzy throws at him. If he's even more swole now he might tire out fast though.

Bro, he gets hit by one of Francis’ world Enders. First real test of that chin.
And Stipe tall, lean, got gas tank and scrap. That wrestling mess ain’t going to work.
Barbados Slim. It just gets more depressing from there. Have your corner throw in the towel. Also there’s a few more cameos. Joseph Benivides, Matt Hughes.

I am picking Costa, but it has more to do with not buying so much into Adesanya. I think he owes a lot of his success to good matchmaking.

I think Jones has no idea what he’s getting into at heavyweight. He bout to get his *** beat.
He‘s looked lackluster for a while at LHW and hasn’t really sought to engage with strikers at that weight. A striker at HW will be something completely different and they’ll be able to bully him with physicality.
Edit: Autocorrect been annihilating my spelling and grammar lately.
