I can see him calling out Derrick Lewis- it would be a new opponent for him after turning aside Mark Hunt, Andrei Arlovski, Fabricio Werdum, Alistair Overeem, Junior Dos Santos and Francis Ngannou in addition to winning two-of-three opposite Daniel Cormier as part of an 8-1 run with four title defenses. His matchup against Francis Ngannou on Saturday will be his eighth straight UFC title fight.
And there's no denying that Lewis has earned another title shot after stopping Aleksei Oleinik and knocking out Curtis Blaydes in his last two bouts.
What if Ngannou wins the title?
This, I think, would be a situation where Lewis becomes the #2 contender behind Jon Jones. Jon would be a new opponent as well as a springboard into a potential boxing foray- think McGregor boxing Mayweather after winning the lightweight strap.
