>>15107017Bones is smart enough to:
A. Not fight him and risk a freak loss.
B. Not stand and trade with this guy.
Jiri is a based retard and his fights are entertaining but despite that lucky rear naked choke he put on old man Glover he can’t wrestle or submit anyone. He eats punches and throws bombs. He learned the hard way twice you can’t take Poatan’s punches. Jones would have him on the mat, in a crucifix and be raping his face inside of 5 minutes.
Dana is protecting the shit out Poatan. He’s had zero fights against anyone with any semblance of wrestling, sambo or BJJ. He’s getting fights against other kickboxers and he’s better than all of them. If he didn’t have to suck 30+ pounds he would have killed Izzy inside of 2 rounds both fights. The problem now is who does he fight? If you move him up to heavyweight after a tune up against a can who do you give him? If you fight him against Aspinall you end up either destroying the momentum of the guy who is the future of the division or you ruin this legendary run he’s having that the fans are enjoying (the most likely outcome). He’s older than Jones at this point so this isn’t for much longer. I just don’t see any fights that make sense for him in any division. The only thing that vaguely makes sense would be if Izzy wins and they do a super fight part III with the LH belt on the line so Izzy can try for his 2 division goal and Poatan can avenge his only loss in UFC. My instincts tell me he would destroy Izzy at a higher weight though.
