Who should be next for Ngannou? Rubber match with Miocic seems like something we'll start hearing about sooner than later. I suspect Miocic will want six-months or so. Lewis is on a winning streak. Is he a serious title contender? Jones will be negotiating with White until the cows come home.
I would go ahead and do the Lewis rematch. I would think both guys want to rewind that after how lackluster the first fight was. If I was Francis I would certainly want to get back my other career loss. Jon does not want the smoke, Miocic will need a while to get back right as he does after most fights, and Lewis is a solid matchup.
Lewis. I want Stipe to retire; I don't see Dana giving him a rematch. He's going to have to go bet Volkov or Gane if he wants a rematch. He's got nothing left to prove. He's the UFC HW Goat. Just retire homeboy. Go enjoy your family and fire fighting. Jones' is scared and will use contracts to avoid the fight.
They should book the Lewis fight sooner than later. I have no faith in Jones. Miocic, I suspect, will start asking for a rematch pretty soon.
I read that he has no issues with fighting Lewis; just not in June...Ngannou says he would like to return in July / August. July is McGregor month (unless he pulls out), so more than likely August is when we'll see Lewis / Ngannou.
Lewis first, winner faces Miocic. Predictable that Miocic wouldn't be figured out and that the Jon Jones negotiations would go nowhere.
