Jon Jones doesn't deserve a HW title fight.
Jon Jones doesn't deserve a HW top 10 fight.
Jon Jones lost the first two rounds to Cormier last night before winning with a spectacular KO.
Brock Lesnar doesn't deserve a HW title fight.
Brock Lesnar doesn't deserve a HW top 10 fight.
It's a perfect chance to let Lesnar have a full camp and see if he's still got it while also letting Jones get a look at how he feels fighting at a more natural weight without screwing other guys in the rankings who have earned their shot. It's also the right fight to make because it's the big money fight. Anyone who is in a short term career like a combat sport for a reason other than making as much money as possible is stupid.
Lesnar's WWE contract isn't up until WM. If WWE takes the title off of him at SS then I'm guessing we'll see him fight Jones around Christmas or New Year's. If not, I would think he would fight Jones next summer and JJ would fight Oezdemir for the LHW title later this year.
Anything that has Jones fighting Miocic right away, or even someone like Cain, JDS, or Werdum is the wrong thing to do. He hasn't earned it and it won't make the money that his HW debut should.
