You guys think Tom poking on him will ever get Jon to actually fight him?
It seemed to work with Stipe to some degree.

Stipe vs Jones is a stupid fight now he is injured.

You have Tom looking like a world beater and he never lost to Francis. UFC should do Stipe Vs Tom and Jones fights the winner. Either way it would do extremely well and you either build TOm or Stipe with a win.

Aspinall and Miocic would get ugly I think (for Stipe)

Of course Jones is going to retire after Stipe. Him saying that he doesn't want to stick around too long like other guys, is him saying that he doesn't want to lose and get beat by someone younger than him, which is inevitability. It's all a fucking joke though, they're feeding him old-man-3-years-retired Stipe and then going to call Jones the HW GOAT.

 

[Thepaintbucket]

Tom is doing the right thing. He's trying to promote himself with or without Jon Jones and the UFC. He has absolutely nothing to lose here.

 

[ElLunico]

Jones is old. He knows there's a very high chance he gets hurt against in prime HW like Aspinall.

I understand his decision.. Just like GSP he knows his limits and its no surprise they're both known for their very high fight IQ

 

[g*r*b]

Why on earth tack that last part onto your sentence? It could be said of everyone who didn't fight Francis, like Aspinall didn't, and only a precious few who did.

 

[IMPmmath]

Jon might as well fight Holyfield also and add him to the resumé. It would have been nice to see if Jon could defend for a year or 2 by actually fighting against another 2/3 top HW contenders,especially after such a pitiful performance by Gane.

this dude tom got tko'd by curtis blades. i saw the fight

sure you did, you absolute can

 

[Gregoire1]

Jon is the least risk taking fighter in history.

Khabib

 

[mmadeewana]

Jon is coming off as a major duck here.

 

[wufabufa]

Terrible the way they let Jon make a mockery of the HW division. Real micky mouse shit.

It's a fresh face without a loss to the vacating HW champ that left.

Jones beat the guy that Francis beat and is now fighting Stipe who last got Ko'd stiff by Francis.

Stipe was an amazing HW 3-5 years ago, but his last loss is also to Francis. He is 1-1 though, but people will always remember the KO even though I think Stipes win was much more impressive.

If you have Stipe and Tom fight, either Stipe has a current win against someone who looks good or Tom gets the win and gets a big name. Now you have an actual fight for Jones as opposed to him basically picking a guy coming back from borderline retirement, who last got destroyed by Francis.

The UFC actually either has the potential to build a star in Tom (with a win over Jones) or Jones goes out having a win over a defending HW champ as opposed to winning the belt by default. At this stage Jones legacy is an amazing early career, middle of his career marred by PEDs and not being active before finally going to HW to beat the guy who lost to the champ. From there he sat out and fought a part time fighter who basically retired and also lost to the champ. Jones legacy will be beating Francis's leftovers.

Or he could fight either Tom or Stipe coming off a good win and show he was the top guy in both weightclasses by beating the winner of that fight.

Tom is the fucking interim champion. Jon is ducking right now.

 

[don't ask]

Stipe vs Jones is a stupid fight now he is injured.

You have Tom looking like a world beater and he never lost to Francis. UFC should do Stipe Vs Tom and Jones fights the winner. Either way it would do extremely well and you either build TOm or Stipe with a win.

I've never lost to Francis, either. In fact, he was never able to even land a punch on me.

 

[Bobby Boulders]

What Tom needs to do in his next fight is what he normally does, quick, dominant finish. But, this time, when Joe comes into the cage to interview, call Jon Jones a bitch. If he wins in spectacular fashion again and then dogs Jones' entire existence, while all the eyes are on the cage, and calls him a bitch, it might work.

 

[Rizzo]

Bones has nothing to gain and everything to lose fighting Aspinall at this point. Obviously beating Stipe now has less of a shine than it would have 5 years ago but regardless, Stipe is the GOAT HW champion of the UFC and is a big legacy fight for Jones. Unfortunately for Aspinall he’s coming on as the division turns over to him and a new generation and he’s just got to live with that and create his own dominant legacy moving forward

 

[13Seconds]

The amount of cope from all the people that said Jon would never go up and be able to fight these bigger, stronger, faster heavyweights is so hilarious. Tom Aspinall is just the newest of like 25 guys that Jon is afraid of.

I remember all the way back to when he was scared of Rashad because they trained together, and he was scared of Chael.

Why is Jon refusing to fight the interim champion? Jon is the champion. There's no cope. Just fucking frustration. I don't even care if Jon is scared of Aspinall or not. Just give up the belt and stop holding up the division. Or just fight.

Im with this. The nice guy stuff needs to stop. Even GSP talked some shit when needed to. "Not impressed by your erfomanceee"

 

[13Seconds]

why would he risk his legacy fighting a no name like Tom? Jones is not stupid, he knows the risk outweighs the reward in this matchup.
the Reyes fight was a wake up call for him.

Answer: Jon is the champion. Aspinall is the interim champion.

If Jon doesn't wanna risk anything maybe he should just retire.

Aspinal is the real champ if you ask me
