Jones at HW = Bisping as champ (not fighting interim belt holders)

[dipstickjimmy]

The guy is injured and just had surgery.. like i know he's a POS and a cheater and all that...but plenty have champions have been allowed to heal and recover as champions and then fight when healthy why cant Jones also do that? ...like what's fair is fair...

Aspinall is in a great position regardless of what Jones does...

Just let the champion heal...FFS

I would have no problem letting Jon heal if he was fighting the Interim title holder next. BTW most recent history in the UFC has champions forced to vacate the LHW belt due to injuries.

Jiri won the title and vacated.
Vacant title fight between Jan and Ankalaev was a draw
Jamal Hill vs Glover is booked a month later for the vacant title
Hill vacates.
Alex wins vacant title vs Jiri.

They chose to vacate...thats different then stripping someone...do you really think Jones is going to purposely give up a title ahhaha

even if jon jones beats aspinal idiots would still say
well aspinal was a bum

idiots been saying this everytime jones beats another new fighter
this is a never ending story

just accept the fact that hell fight stipe and add a great win to his resume

aspinal is a nobody
dude needs to fight and make his own legacy
he should wipe out the entire HW division
if its legacy he wanted

btw ts your trying to compare bisping to jones?

You said ahhaha re Jones purposely giving up the title yet you believe Jiri and Hill just voluntarily gave up the title? They were Volun-Told to give up the title 100%.

Jiri was back with in 1 year form his injury to his fight with Alex for the vacant title that Jiri was forced to vacate.

nope nope nope nope nope nope nope, he's not ducking anyone, he's currently getting surgery from an injury after that he will fight stipe miocic as originally planned, this is a fight promised by dana to the fans and as long as these guys are still under contract with the UFC this is a fight I'm expecting to see

Aspinall stepped up and won an interem title, but lets be real, no one creates an interem title because a champ got injured 5 monthes removed from his last fight into his next, they only did that because they wanted a championship fight on the card not because of any in-action from the current champion, in normal circustances the fight wouldn't have been for an interem title, Also bisping has a single title defence against dan henderson so theres that

Ok, Dana.

So now where defending interim belts?

Jon Jones is totally pulling a Champion Bisping in front of our eyes.
Similarities between the two:
-Immediately called out only old men who are semi-retired and shouldn’t even be ranked at this point for an easy win/title defense
-Called it a “legacy” fight, said they deserve this
-Defended the stupid matchups by referencing their long career
-Completely ignored the interim champion of the division, who at this point is basically the actual champ
-Interim champ now has to wait another year
-Jones/Bisping never intended on unifying the belts -> Interim champ becomes full champ once they retire with their “legacy” fights

Think of it this way...

If Jones did not get injured, he would have already fought Stipe and retired, there would not have been an interim title fight and Aspinall would be the actual HW champ.

So just pretend Aspinall is the current HW champ.

GSP is a class act. When he beat Bisping, he vacated the belt immediately, instead of gripping it tightly and fighting with everyone on Twatter.
