Media Dana confirms Jon Jones retired

[MDoza]

In a sense Tom won without even throwing a punch. One guy ran and the other didn't .

One guy retired on top as the MMA GOAT, the other is a virtual unknown to casuals..

No other HW on the roster will get Aspinall any attention.

We need to thank Big Ank for derailing Jones' plans.

 

[Poirierfan]

Jon will be back there is zero chance he doesn't fight again.

He'll eventually come back to fight a ballooned up MW that's above 40 years old.

Lol Dana looks destroyed. The Dana White curse lives on.

So in the end Jon wasted all our time and especially Toms best years.

I just read someone's Tweet: "Jon's biggest career victory was killing off two of Tom's prime years."

Correct, no one wants to fight Tom, including Jon.

You m

You must not know much about Armstrong's history if you think PEDs were his worst "crime".

There is literally NO comparison between Lance and Jon Jones other than both being obsessed with winning at all costs.

WELL...since you asked.

Rountree spends five rounds leg kicking Hill and occasionally dropping him with punches when the mood strikes him, while Hill just takes it like a simp. Seriously, that's the whole fight. You;re welcome

You missed Hill shaking his head a few times whilst looking like a newborn giraffe when he was taking shots.

I’m disappointed, but I understand. He’s almost 40 years old at this point and at that stage of your career do you really want to be fighting these young hungry lions? I wouldn’t.

why? It’s such a big deal that he’s not fighting this guy? Nobody has any clue where Tom will be in two or three years in his career? It’s gonna be awful hard for him to be considered the greatest heavyweight of all time when he has nobody to fight whatsoever in that division. NOT like he has peak DC, Werdum, Stipe or Brock all in their primes, ready to fight him.

If he absolutely wrecks everyone it will 100% have him in the conversation. Won't be his fault nobody could compete. Obviously he has ro actually do that first.

OMG guys, I've GOT to share this with you RIGHT NOW!!!

Jones just challenged my 52-year old self to a fight after seeing me owning him here.

 

[Dr. Rose]

Tom dodged a bullet

and a speeding car? Oh wait, Tom isn't pregnant.

 

[TempleoftheDog]

What a cowardly bitch. And I told you guys he’d wait 6-7 months to actually vacate. Exactly what he did at LHW too.

Good riddance you lowlife, cheating douchebag.

Tom has been doing well in that time off. I actually think he had some injury issues which ios why he sat around.

I think he looks really different in his next fight and basically smokes Gane or whoever they put in there with him.

Fighting for the bottom bunk in the cell ?

It is similar to people who bash Fedor, saying he only fought cans, and neglecting the Big Nog and Cro Cop fights.

 

[JakePaulMMA]

Counts as a loss on Jones' record IMO.Too scared to fight the real champion.

 

[Mask Of Winters]

I was just about to fall asleep but then this revitalized me to the point where I just might be here all night.

Glad this whole drama is over. Feel bad for Aspinall that he has not fought since last July, due to Jones not willing to commit. I am not saying Jones was afraid of Aspinall, but deep down inside he knew it was really a bad matchup for him.

Aspinall is much bigger, is the complete package, and moves like a Middleweight. Jones only wants to fight guys at Heavyweight that were past their prime like Stipe, or a guy like Gane whose wrestling is subpar. Aspinall still lost a year of his career, and hopefully UFC rewards his patience by giving him more money for his following fights.

Really did as much as he could to kill his own legacy.

People will always tune in if he comes back, but the man has more asterix next to his career than wins, even with the most title wins ever.
