that fight made DADA5000 vs Kimbo look like the rumble in the jungle by comparison ..

what Erock said .. Jones wants to be paid big time and I don't blame him 1 bit he should get PPV points etc ..

problem is that Jones sabotaged Danas financial plans so many times he is not in position to be handed a massive
bag .. so it will be Ngannou / Lewis 100 percent

Ya, I'd like to know where -140 is, would need to make a few trips to the red cross to cover that 1. Pretty sure it doesn't exist though.

As far as $ though, I don't think Jones is asking for 25-30m. I think the point he made in the past was that Tyson Fury/Deontay Wilder got 25-30m when they fought and his PPV's do as well as theirs so he wants atleast half of what they get but the UFC only wants to give him his standard rate.

Don't blame him for wanting to get paid huge for that fight at all, he's taking a huge risk to move up and fight the most dangerous HW ever IMO. Would be biggest HW fight in UFC history by a mile as well.

Where?

The lowest out there right now is -190 and it opened at -200 (Bet Online). The others are -205 and -227...

I know you're salivating for this to occur...
During the Dana White press after the fight the question was asked on the odds for that fight and it was said -137 around 1:00am in the morning.

Bookmaker many months ago had Jones -135 if they fought by the end of 2020

You saying it was -140 was based on what someone said at the press conference? damn

Well at the RX we're here to tell you that it won't be less than -185 unless some big steam happens.

LOL. There's no way it's going to be another snooze fest like their first fight (30 something strikes landed combined if I do recall) Ngannou said he lacked confidence after his lose to Miocic and feared Lewis's power. That won't happened in their rematch. Fight will be over after 1 round, maximum 2.

Oh, I didn’t say what I said because of the first fight, I said it because I’m not a huge fan of Derrick Lewis and the fight will suck, snooze fest or not, but who else is out there, unfortunately?!?

Only other valid opponent is Gane, and he’s only got 4 wins and isn’t ready. He will be eventually, maybe, but not now. He’s the only person in the heavyweight division with a chance to match the physical specimen of Ngannou in the UFC. The only other is some guy nobody knows about at your local pub... lol

What about Volkov, you think he’s in the mix?

Stipe is talking about bulking to 250. Not sure what affect that will have. Will the extra weight really matter? If all else stays the same, sure it could be good. But will it?
His biggest mistake seemed to be his just a technical wrestling mistake and charging at Ngannou. Bad fight IQ in that match IMO

His biggest issue is Ngannou is yoked the fuck up ready to smash people and if his TDD is legit then it means the fight has to be standing up then GL
