Media Aspinall: I am ready to move on from Jones

[cmw43]

It's a better metric to use than whatever peanuts the UFC pays fighters. Even more sad you think it's an excuse for MMA fighters to not get paid. As if "boxing money" is some secret formula.

Those boxing paydays were all Saudi funded from events that I don't know even know if we're profitable after paying those kinds of purses.

Jones said he was making $5m fighting guys likes Santos and Anthony Smith, probably made something like $8m to fight Gane, they should give him $10m to fight Tom.

Aspinall trying to skip the line so that he doesn't have to risk losing. Somehow Mr Most Dangerous fighter hasn't fought the best grappler or striker in the shallow as fuck HW division but acts like Jones is obligated to fight him hahaha, English Primadonna. Jones has barely fought at HW and the Gane win is better than any win Aspinall has, let that sink in. And even old Stipe might be a better win than anything Aspinall has.....

He knows it's 50/50 he gets subbed by Almeida or KOd by Gane, it's not a coincidence that he hasn't fought the two best fighters in the division besides Jones.

weak troll

 

[cmw43]

it doesn't benefit them though when both the champ and interim are sitting out, just because, you know, they might fight.

they have to pivot soon, you can't have both the champ and interim fightless for a year +.

personally, if i was UFC i'd strip jon and abandon that whole goat angle they were trying to go with him. and then go back to a muh more realistic / legitimate ranking system with the understanding, there's no easy title shots anymore.

Dana has been telling Tom "Just sit right, we're going to get this deal done soon".

It turns out Tom was the duck, you ppl just too blind to interpret things. He played the media and all stuff for a while, but... His short collab with DJ had DJ asking his father when his father got his black belt and Tom's father said he had never had a BJJ teacher. So DJ asked Tom's dad if he gave the belt himself and Tom's dad was like "I was more into boxing and judo".

The interview with two mma psychologists featuring Tom as the one to be interviewed, in an 1 hour interview, which the psychologists asked real good questions for Tom... And Tom said he is afraid and that he wants to be able to just enjoy the process and not care for the result.

Even MMA guru who knows what's going on is making fun of Tom, by revealing stuff and how embarrassed that whole stuff was... Flash news, Tom played you all and JJ accepted the fight. Tom just... Is not the one. That's going to be more clear as those very videos were released today. But, JJ played with Tom and Tom was the duck... Plot twist? Yeah, a hell of a plot twist....

 

[italiamusica]

As soon as Tom accepts a fight, all of a sudden Jon will defend his belt against Christian Morecraft. Shit's a fucking circus.

1000%, Jon is just going to wait it out until Tom gets a different fight, and then Jones will be like LOL WHERE TF IS EVERYONE I'VE BEEN READY TO FIGHT.

 

[Captain Herb]

This is posted today and he is saying he has a meeting tonight to find out what is going to happen.



I would tend to think it is going to be a negative since there would be a lot more buzz around it if the fight were going to happen.

Why would Hunter Campbell have to travel to England to meet with Tom if Jones had signed the fight? The fight is obviously off and they're working on plan B, and it better include stripping Jones, this charade has gone far enough.

Here... Tom was the duck. You've all been played like fools (I was too).

If I was Tom I would start openly challenging Gane or someone else and defend the interim belt. This will force UFC to give him that fight and make Jones vacate the title. Or make Jones nail in a date.

He's not even close to being the most dangerous guy in UFC let alone HW. Jones is his hardest fight, it might do him some good to get more exp.

 

[JakePaulMMA]

Tom is playing it wrong

He should ignore Jon and try to defend his interim. This would put A LOT of pressure on the ufc

And if that doesn't work, he should sit in the small chair in the corner while Hunter and Tom's missus tries out the vibrating bed.

Any other brilliant ideas?

UFC has Saudi events all the time. Endeavor already does huge WWE shows there.

Tom should be getting at least 10m. Just saying.

 

[Chayanne]

Jones uses the same tactic as he did against Ngannou, making them give up or go away

 

[Gigacardio]

Well good because even if he won (which is likely) it would only be because of the size advantage. End of topic (I wish!).

 

[SerbianSteel]

I know it sounds silly at first because Tom has been walking through everyone but the fact remains that he doesn't have a win as good as Gane.

Gane doesn't have a win thought. Volkov schooled him and got robbed.

 

[Wreckless]

That’s the problem.

If Aspinall signs to fight anybody. That allows Jones to call out another hand picked defence.

You are all my witnesses..

If the UFC allows Jones to fight anyone other than Aspinall, while Jones still holds the title.

I am GONE, and NEVER coming back.

This is my line in the sand.

Edit.

Btw, that means leaving the UFC, not SD.

I watch most BKFC, and Invicta cards. And I talk about them in here. That won’t change.

I guess I’ll start watching other orgs. But PFL is NEVER happening. I’ll watch Rizin, ONE, KSW, etc.

 

[TheNewGame]

Pretty crazy that the only legit guys Aspinall needs to beat in order to clean out the division are Gane and Jailton.

Who's he going to fight after those two?

 

[joy2day]

I didn't get that the Jones defense is pure trolling for a good while. I don't think anyone is that dumb even on Sherdog.

 

[mkess101]

That's what you brought to the table after calling me dumb? MMAth in 2025 in a fight with a clear as day injured fighter? So what is your point exactly, that Volkov is better than Gane? You have an IQ probably around the 40% percentile I'm afraid.

How about the fact that Volkov was also competive with Gane the first time? How about that Gane couldn't stop the grappling of a "clearly injured" STRIKER in Ngannou? You want me to keep going?

Kid, if you doubled your IQ you probably wouldn't be within shouting distance of me. You're not good at this. You should hit eject.

You actually tried to argue that the interim champ that's KO'd more than half the top 10 in rd 1 is trying to "jump the line". Yes,, you really are that stupid and yes you may want to try a different hobby.

Uhh, he's KO'ing everyone inside a round. That's literally how most people would define "dangerous". You're right, he's not "close". He IS the most dangerous from the evidence we have. Who at HW is more dangerous LMAO?

What's worse than an utterly retarded take, folks? Quoting your own utterly retarded take!

Jones , stopped two champs in a row. Who were high ranked
