Jones Derangement Syndrome. I see otherwise solid MMA fans talking about how Jones is ducking an apparent all-time great (who knew?) In TOM ASPINALL.
Aspinall is an exciting fighter but he's a nobody. Let's be honest. That's not his fault. But fans who talk about him are exhibiting Jones Derangement Syndrome, plain and simple. There are almost no threads about Aspinall on this forum. He gets no coverage in the media. He's just your latest hope, for some reason, to beat Jon Jones. Many of you come across as nuts in these discussions!
Have a nice day.
They asked DC to fight Black Beast on a months notice to save the MSG card. Not even close to the same situation.He’s taking a page out of DC’s book. Notch an easy defense at HW immediately after getting the belt. No-sell the rightful contender.

Prime JDS vs young Jones would have been an incredible superfight when they were both on the top.There's only one JDS
You're a nobody.Aspinall is an exciting fighter but he's a nobody
Yep.Oh, WE’RE the nuts. Lol
I put him at the #1 contender status in the current HW top-10, and that's all that matters?Is Tom Aspinall in your all-time HW top-10?
I don't know. I think it's such a great point that we fans shouldn't complain about title fights, especially at heavyweight, being about the least dangerous and most money drawing challenges. Honestly, MMA fans are so spoiled, the way they keep begging to see MMA from the biggest MMA promotion, when it's been so clearly defined that the biggest MMA promotion is supposed to sell circus events.Good. Let him give up the belt and then fight whoever, if he has nothing to prove let those who do fight for the title.
Lewis and Volkov fought in a title eliminator that Lewis won. How was that DC trying to notch an easy defense instead of the "rightful contender"? That is exactly who he should have fought.He’s taking a page out of DC’s book. Notch an easy defense at HW immediately after getting the belt. No-sell the rightful contender.
And he got routinely shit on for it, so the same will happen here.Bisping ducked the rightful contenders at MW, as well. Made us wait through a grudge match with old man Hendo and retired, unranked GSP while the top 5 was stacked with killers.
GSP did the right thing and retired again, but he was still chided it for it, nonetheless.
And all got called ducks for. I guess the idea it shouldn't happen to Jones must only come up cuz of Jones defenders. All this argument rings of is "This is the same situation, but Jon should be treated differently and better"Jones haters just love to call him a duck for doing the same thing that other “champs” have done-
So you point out that GSP did the right thing by vacating, but you think Jon needs to wait before doing that, and everyone else needs to wait with him.Use the belt to command the matches that you want. And they also desperately want to see Jon lose, and Tom is the most likely avenue for that to happen.
Tom can still fight the top contenders. After Jones vacates, it will likely be Blaydes vs. Aspinall for the undisputed title.
We could have had several title fights right now if they had stripped Jones.I don't know.

The REAL fans are the ones who like popular things because they're popular.
Jones never needed the belt. They coulda slapped a HW-BMF title on Jones' HW debut against Stipe and the division would have moved right along just fineWe could have had several title fights right now if they had stripped Jones.
