Dober is always great for a show, but outside of Belal/Burns, this card is a stinker.
are the odds changing so much theres no underdog?
i mean cejudo easily takes it imo

jones says again he will hang it up with win over stipe, also in a roundabout way says it will be in Nov. he would come back for big pay check to fight francis, if he returned to the ufc. he says Sergei is not well known so the risk/reward wouldn't be worth it.
apparently francis is going to sign with PFL today or soon. ONE said they offered him $20 million guaranteed.
what i gather jones was going to get at least $10m

I'd respond to the retirement talk by making him fight Pavlovich and stripping him a fourth time if he refuses, but Dana probably doesn't think he can beat him either and if he's only getting one more fight out of him, Miocic is worth more money than Pavlovich.

how is pfl able to "maybe" sign him? one offered allegedly 20m and he can fight elsewhere (box)
but ngannou wanted more shit (probably fighter pay etc)

Jones would take the Pavlovich fight if UFC renegotiated after Stipe. Risking his legacy is just a matter of money for him, judging by how he's talking.
I read between the lines that he just won't agree to Pavlovich under his current contract. "Maybe UFC will come with the right numbers". He's looking for more toward 15m-30m rather than the 10m he's currently making.

He won't suddenly have a fight IQ to match Jones, but he can train very hard on a gameplan. Despite having the toolkit, there is a massive difference in fight IQ between Jones and Pavlovich.

appears conor still isn't in the testing pool. chandler would be ok with just 2 clean test and not the 6 months.

“Conor says one thing, USADA says another,” Chandler told ESPN. “Conor [likes to] publicly be in spats, whether it be Dana here and there, sponsors here and there, people who it doesn’t even make sense for him to be picking fights with, different weight classes, different organizations, all kinds of stuff. It’s all just a big show. I don’t know what the understanding is. I could see it very well being just two clean tests. I have no problem with it being two clean tests. I could care less. If you do two clean tests, sounds to me like you’re clean. At this point, who am I to say what the stipulations are? I’m ready for him to be cleared or at least get that answer. At this point, we don’t have an answer.”

Maybe he had the jitters fighting in the UFC for the first time, maybe he had a bad training camp, I dunno. Only takedown he's eaten in his entire career, has a grappling background himself, and has had 6 straight first round finishes since his embarrassing UFC debut. Meanwhile Jones lost his last fight against a football player before his vacation, barely scratched out a split decision in the fight before that, and while there's no doubt he walked straight through Gane, it felt like Gane showed up expecting to be crushing a can or something and had no idea what to do against someone who could fight.
Jones 'fight iq' can be summed up as insane reach + eyepokes that would make Ric Flair jealous.
