It would be cool to see Jones fight some different/better competiton, I just don't think he should feel obligated to fight in a higher weight class when he's had no weight-cutting issues and is obviously built for 205lbs.
I just think many people don't like him and want to see him fail and the most likely way that happens is someone KOs him.
I completely agree that he doesn't need to go chasing DC to HW. He beat him twice, so he could just sit back and laugh if he wants to. But the question is what is he fighting for? Money? Legacy? Easy pay check?
If it's for money, the biggest fight is DC at HW.
If it's for legacy, it's the HW belt regardless of who has it. The fact it would be DC right now is icing on the cake.
If he wants an easy pay check, then sure, anybody in the LHW division would be the easiest fight for him.
Either way, how he's going about this so far is terrible. He's calling out DC to fight him at 205.
First of all, champs shouldn't be calling out anyone. People should be calling out the champ. Second, you already beat him twice. Shit, Nate Diaz played the trilogy with Conor cooler than that and he lost one of those fights.
If you do want to be the bully...tell DC you could slap his wife on the ass...that he's your bitch...you can't call him out, but then only want to do it at 205 because you like your chances better there than at HW. He's either your bitch or he's not. It can't be "You're my bitch....but only at LHW". And then he said DC's a great champion and that he can have his at HW and Jones will have his at LHW. Like pick a lane, dude. You're either the respectful Christian champion (which we all know he isn't) or the heal (which is the direction he should have gone years ago because that's who he really is).
How great would it have been if he said something like "DC, I just took your LHW belt from you and next I'm coming to take your HW belt from you *micdrop*" That forces the UFC's and DC's hand and sets up what could be the biggest non-Conor fight in history. It would still be a huge fight now, but he's missing out on some great promotion IMO by being this God loving phony.
