    Gane is against Volkov next no guarantees Gane gets the win here!

    Gane is 0 and 2 in title fights I'm not sure he should be in the conversation!

    The Heavy weight title has to be put to bed 1 belt! then they can do the Peirera fight!

    For Me Jones v Aspinal is a massive fight and a 50 50 fight,I think it would do savage numbers!

    I don't think it would do the numbers him vs Pereira would do. And that fight can happen at heavyweight or a catch weight and it'll get done first and he won't lose his belt. Dana loves money and he'll want the biggest fight possible.

    For all Aspinall has done to this point he's still not a big name. Gane is a bigger name than him.

    I respectfully disagree with regard Aspinal and Ganes popularity, Tom is making waves in America!

    You might be right about the next wash grab fight but I think it's bad for the sports integrity if the top 2 heavyweights don't fight next!

    Gane is not a bigger name than Aspinall.

    The only people that dont want to see a heavyweight unification ( that is what interim belts are for , right?) are seemingly yourself and jon jones.

    McGregor fought Alvarez for the title at 155 in his first fiht in that division. They'll make the fights that make the most money. The interim champ is a load of bollocks anyway.

    I want to see it. I'm just saying that Dana will make sure the bigger fight happens first. And Aspinall will have another fight to try and make him a bigger draw while that happens if it's not him and Jones first.

    And I think Jones will beat both.

    I cannot see how the next fight could be anything other than Jones and Aspinall to have any credibility.

    I mean it's the Interim champ and the champ. In what world would there not be a unification fight unless someone was injured.

    McGregor v Alvarez isn't the same as there wasn't an interim champ being ignored unless I am mistaken.

    Remember the Covington one where he was looking to put it back for six weeks and they stripped him of it and gave Till the title bout against Woodley.

    Years ago Lesnar got a shot at Couture when Big Nog was interim.

    GSP and Bisping got it on when Whittaker was interim.

    I know there's more than that but as you can see money is all Dana cares about. An interim belt is a big deal unless there's a bigger fight to be made.
