News Am I a Jon Jones fan or an Islam hater?

[WelcometoHell]

Neither tbh

I feel like Jon did everything in his power to not have to face Tom Aspinall, as he should cause he is an old man after all

However, I don't know why I'm surprised because I agreed that Ilia needs to fight more, but come on, yes, they have to make it fair for Islam and everything but everyone wants the Ilia fight, Dana White will once again say, "We give the fans what they want" meanwhile we keep losing fights as big as these (Tom Jon, Islam Ilia etc.)

Now there is news that Islam declined the fight

WDYM Declined? A champion should'nt be able to decline a fight, you don't let fighters pick and choose who they're gonna fight

That's your job as a matchmaker

But, even though I don't think Ilia deserves a title shot until he beats a good opponent at lightweight; I still think there's a lot more that could be done when it comes to making better fights and not letting champions pick and choose who they want to fight and instead the matchmakers doing that

Fight or strip, not fight or pick easiest guy or strip; that's how it should be

Even if in Islam's case I don't think Ilia deserves the title shot, still, that should be the matchmakers rejecting the Ilia fight because it's not justified, the champions shouldn't be the ones picking fights or having the option to decline fights without serious injury

We could simplify it and just call you retarded

 

[World eater]

Hey, hey there! You calling Jon an old man? Some of us are ancient then. Take that back!

Dana White having more and more events at the Apex.

Jones has finished his career, he was already the youngest champ and kept going undefeated until he moved up the next weight class and beat 2 more guys. Everyone else that he's compared to either never got a title in another weightclass or did little with it (GSP, Silva, Fedor), So I don't see why Jones needs to prove more unless he's trying to set the bar higher for whoever breaks his record.

Islam has had nothing but bad luck even leading up to getting a title shot. I would care more but nobody really stands out in the top 10 that poses a threat. For all the shit Khamzat got for his weight miss against Diaz, Arman has missed weight for a title fight and once before, so he really shouldn't get another chance right away.

Hey, you can be both, no problem.
Wouldn´t be something I would want for me, but....

or:

How about Ilia ducking Tsarukyan fight? Should people moving up choose who they fight?

then why are people angry when jones would just give the belt and fight a money fight instead?
the idea of him just trying to give the HW belt makes people angry

do people think he doesnt deserve a big payday?

Why can't i hate both?

Makes thread title a question. Answers own question.

 

[swimba]

Am I evil? Yes I am.

 

[Feaser]

I’d rather see Ilya vs Islam than Amran. Ilya did enough. They’ve given title shots for much less.

C'mon, man. A match-maker's job is to make good matches, outside of the title fights, or building up to them. The champ, however, should only be fighting the number 1 contender or the top fives, not "whoever the people want to see" (read: Jake Paul/Conman) or guys champs from other weight classes that have never beaten anyone in the division that they've worked hard to clear out.
