Media Aspinall says he's ready to fight but Jones is holding things up; reiterates that he will retire Jones without fighting him

[sonhow]

Dont worry. Grand master negotiator Dana is negotiating with Jones. Remember all the times Dana managed to change someones mind through negotiations?

Like for example
....
....
Uhhhhhhhh....

Yeah, Tom is right. This fight is not happening.

That's dumb, sorry. No one wants to see Jones vs Pereira, except the absolutely brain dead Jon Jones fans. But lets face it, Jones fans don't have two brain cells to rub together. No one cares what they think.

Jones vs Pereira at 205 would be a good fight, Jones just has to go on a diet

 

[2432sj]

Jones has been a great fighter, but not a great competitor. He reminds of Floyd Mayweather Jr.; always calculating and trying to swing things to his advantage instead of stepping up on taking on the greatest challenges.

 

[Elegant]

Dude needs to shut the fuck up and move on, he’s coming across as an obsessed ex girlfriend and it’s making him super unlikable

Just fight Gane for what will be the vacant HW title when Jones announces his retirement or fight with Pereira here within the next few months

 

[Streeter]

Jones is waiting till after Saturday. Dana is letting him.. if Pereria wins he will push to fight Pereria at 205 for his final fight. If Ank wins he will fight Aspinall.

Whats the better way to go out defending your HW title against the int chsmp or fighting the biggest star in sport to retire as chsmp of the division you owned . Also Pereria the easier fight - what would you do?

 

[usernamee]

The HW division is atrocious right now.

Even if Jones fight happens and Tom wins... after that? What good fights is there? Tom vs Cyril? Cyril who everyone says is a can after Jones beat him mind you..

 

[CieloLuce]

At this point Jones wants to get stripped. That way, he can just retire.

 

[BowserJr]

That's dumb, sorry. No one wants to see Jones vs Pereira, except the absolutely brain dead Jon Jones fans. But lets face it, Jones fans don't have two brain cells to rub together. No one cares what they think.

This is exactly right.

Jones fans say this is the biggest fight and that Alex is a true tough test.

When Jones subs him in 1 min. They'll talk about how so many people said Alex would beat Jones

 

[BowserJr]

That's a fight I'd like to see personally. I don't like Jones, but I'm not such a hater that I don't want to see good fights.

Its not a good fight. The best grappler Alex faced was Jan and hes not even a great grappler or wrestler.

Jones subs him as fast as Gane

 

[BowserJr]

I'm an Alex fan and want to see the first ever 3 division champion... I think Jones is falling off and could lose.... and then Tom vs Alex would be epic and you know Alex doesnt say no.

Even Bader would beat Alex.

Heck even Tito or Randy beat Alex right now lol

 

[Söze Aldo]

Jones has as much likelihood of fighting Tom as Conor has of ever fighting in MMA again. They should just strip Jon already and if they want a money fight with Alex fine, but let Tom continue as the undisputed HW champ.

 

[El Fernas]

Fight wont happen, Aspinall needs to DEMAND for fights, defend the Interim belt as many times as it makes it seem ridiculous, Jones isnt fighting him, the more he fights the more basis he will have to be promoted to Undisputed.

That's dumb, sorry. No one wants to see Jones vs Pereira, except the absolutely brain dead Jon Jones fans. But lets face it, Jones fans don't have two brain cells to rub together. No one cares what they think.

Its on the pointless end of fights, yes, but if there is a superfight in UFC history, is this one, many obvious factors about it, pointless as far as the division goes? Yes, but still a fight to make good numbers for the UFC.

Strip him then. Its not like Jon have opinions

Jones fought 4 months ago, we are still early for stripping talk even if said fight was supposed to happen 1 year before.

 

[mmacrisis]

Just because Tom is saying this doesn't mean there aren't talks happening to make the fight happen. No of us know what is happening. If the UFC can't make it happen then sure but negotiating with Jon has always been tough for Dana. Plenty of Champs have sat out longer (looking at you McMidget)

 

[Captain Herb]

Negotiations over money should take less than an hour. Jones: 30m. Dana: 10m. Jones: 20m. Dana: OK, 15m. But then Jones is like: No, 35m. It's not about money, it's about Jones being a pussy and not wanting to fight Tom but wanting to keep the belt for his own ego trip. Strip him, cut him, do whatever it takes to get rid of this guy. He's old news

 

[Captain Herb]

Tom also said that Jamahall Hill was better than Alex Pereira in every facet of MMA, so I'm not going to put much stock in him.

You've consistently said Jones wasn't afraid of Aspinall and would fight him for sure. So we can't really put much stock in what you say either.

Super dumb opinion, too many reasons to list

 

[Mohawk Banditó]

Super dumb opinion, too many reasons to list

It's Elegant. He pretty much designs every post of his to be filled with as many of the dumbest takes ever.

Jones is so great that beating Alex is a forgone conclusion lol ….you respect da goat

 

[r-harper-1]

I’m a jones fan , but Tom is doing what he should do ….if they don’t fight it’s well known it’s no fault of his own

 

[WildShrimper]

Things like this confuse me so much.

It's been 14 weeks since Jones last fought.

14 weeks for negotiations. 14 weeks for Jones to make a decision.

At some point the UFC have to say "this is our best offer, you've got a week to accept or decline. If you decline you'll be stripped and Aspinall is the champ".

They're wasting Aspinall's prime years having him sat out waiting for someone to decide if they want to defend their belt. Aspinall could be making money for his family right now but instead he's sat doing nothing and earning nothing. It's just disrespectful.

If Jones isn't ready to fight soon, agree a date for 6 months from now if you need that time. Just get the fight signed and the date set. Or concede you don't want the fight.

Yeah Jon is internationally being a burden on his way to retire. No other champions right now are getting this preferential treatment.
