And Jon was losing on the feet to Reyes on the feet and now look at Reyes getting slept in his next three, Jon is getting old, He won the belt 12 years earlier then when this fight is taking place,Also Went to a split with Santos and Santos only won one fight which nothing happen in since that fight 

Also, you don’t want Jon off the drugs, Clean Jon is the worst Jon, you want him looking like the Hulk, not Bruce banner

I also agree that Francis ko's Jones. I think Gane would also beat Jones. And Blaydes would beat Jones too

Sorry, but comparing Jones’ and Gane’s footwork, head movement, and striking is kinda crazy.
Just cause Gane outstruck Ngannou doesn’t mean Jones will.
Here’s the other thing - there’s a decent chance Jones tries to stand with Ngannou as opposed to wrestle early. That could very well be to his detriment.
Jon’s hardest fights have always been against other tall guys who aren’t at an absolutely insane reach disadvantage.
Not saying he can’t be successful at heavyweight, but I don’t think it’s a walk in the park.

Sure is funny when people say “Jones is so old Ngannou gonna kill him”.  Not sayin this won’t happen but y’all, Francis is older than Bony boi.

Jon will school francis.

When Francis fought a mobile fighter in gane. He hit nothing but air

Jon will do the same. Except this time jon will have a massive wrestling advantage

Being “old” isn’t just about age, it’s also about miles, I seen fighter shot at 30, and win belts at 42, People are different 

Jon just look pretty **** in his last few fights, while Francis look good to excellent.

Would love to see jones win against Francis.  He actually has a ground game.

I have watched Khamzat's interview with Brett Okamoto and he stated his interest in fighting Colby on this card rather than co-headlining the UK card which could probably be headlined by Usman and Leon.

This fight should be 5 rounds and the winner would go to the UK card and spectate the trilogy.

Araujo vs. Ribas
Amanda Ribas, DEC
Close fight, Vivi makes it interesting because Ribas's chin isn't the best and Vivi has big power. I'd say it's a split between DEC win for Amanda and a KO for Vivi
