i think LHW is worse off
(C) Jon Jones - "Big fiight announcement coming soon" was 2 weeks ago and he wants to fight in Dec.
1 Daniel Cormier - not fight again a LHW
2 Thiago Santos - out 6-12 months
3 Anthony Smith - win over Gus, Lost to Jones
4 Dominick Reyes vs (7 MW) Chris Weidman Oct 18
5 Jan Blachowicz vs (6 MW) Ronaldo Souza Nov 18
6 Alexander Gustafsson - 2 loss streak / retired
7 Corey Anderson vs 10 (tied) Johnny Walker Nov 2
8 Volkan Oezdemir vs10 (tied) Aleksandar Rakic Dec 21
9 Glover Teixeira - 3 win streak (15 and 2 that are now unranked)
very much doubt winner of Reyes/Weidman would do a less than 2 month turn around and fight Jones. Reyes is who Dana said would probably be next before booking Weidman.
Jones vs Ngannou was odds on fav for next match up
who else is left, Brock? don't think any of the top MW would move up. Israel vs Whittaker is Oct 5, Paulo Costa has been promised next shot.

LHW is so much worse off, everyone not named Jon Jones probably thinks they should move up to HW to get a chance at a strap b4 they retire.

How can you poke a guy in the eye and be anything other than apologetic? I hope Stephens lays a beating on him in the rematch

Miocic likely out for rest of year with eye injury
Heavyweight champ Stipe Miocic is still recovering from a "major" eye injury, his agent said, leaving a return in 2019 virtually impossible.
www.espn.com
UFC heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic is "highly unlikely" to compete again in 2019 after suffering an eye injury during his fight against Daniel Cormier in August, according to his agent.
Miocic (19-3) reclaimed his heavyweight title by knocking out Cormier in the fourth round of their title fight rematch at UFC 241. The UFC has expressed interest in booking a trilogy bout between Miocic and Cormier, potentially as early as UFC 245 on Dec. 14 in Las Vegas, but Miocic told ESPN he is still recovering from a procedure on his retina.
"I'll be ready to fight when I can see out of both eyes again," Miocic said in a statement to ESPN. "I can't wait to defend my belt."
According to Miocic's agent, Jim Walter, the injury occurred when Cormier accidentally poked Miocic in the eye during their rematch. Miocic complained of eye pokes during both of his fights against Cormier, in 2018 and 2019.
"Mr. Miocic sustained a major retina injury from multiple eye pokes during his bout at UFC 241," said Walter, of Kaulig Sports and Entertainment. "Our client's health and safety is our top priority. We are excited for him to return to action when he is healthy to compete in his seventh consecutive world title fight."
Walter said that Miocic is scheduled to have the eye reevaluated in three weeks to determine whether another procedure is necessary. Once he receives medical clearance, Miocic will resume only noncontact activities at first, leaving a fight in 2019 virtually impossible.
Cormier, 40, told Ariel Helwani's MMA Show on Monday he is putting off retirement to fight Miocic a third time. Cormier (22-2) defeated Miocic via first-round knockout during their first meeting at UFC 226 in July 2018.
"I'm gonna fight this guy again," Cormier said. "My intention is to fight him in the right way. ... It has to be against Stipe, no one else matters."
Miocic, of Independence, Ohio, set the UFC record for consecutive heavyweight title defenses at three, from 2016 to 2018. His loss to Cormier in their first bout is his only defeat in his past eight bouts.

DC - Ngannou
DC - Jones
Ngannou - Jones
Ngannou - Blaydes
i don't think DC would risk it, Ngannou - Jones seems like best bet
