Media Dana confirms Jon Jones retired

JustBreed said:
I reckon it's more likely the UFC was thinking the prospect of a Jones Aspinall fight would help them get a better TV deal, and that Jones retiring has just fucked it for them.

I also am starting to believe that maybe the UFC had known Jones was planning to retire, and had told him to keep it quiet.

Agreed. That sounds very plausible.

Jones has been getting drunk and high for several months and repeatedly saying he's not interested in fighting

in Dana's mind: "He's going to give us the call to say he's ready to fight any day now.."
 
At least people can stop complaining about the DQ loss on Jon’s record. That 1 loss can be attributed to him losing against Aspinall now.

Also glad I never have to listen to Jon being talked about as a GOAT anymore.

Because he was injured for a year.

Sherdog really needs to implement a CAPTCHA for member signups.

And Cain wasn´t?
You are a tool and showed it in every post that I read from you.
And that was and still is a massive amount of evidence.
 
He would have looked so much better if he retired in the cage right after the Stipe fight , this fiasco is going to weigh heavily on his legacy

No I'm pointing out how dumb your guys arguments are to shit on Jon for "closing in" on a record Cain only has due to injury, same reason Jon is close too.

Neither actually were holding the belt actively, yet you praise Cain and give the game away that you just hate Jones.
 
For all the people who call out Dana/UFC bullshit on the regular, are now just blindly accepting that Jones retired last night and the fight was really “in the works” for months. Guy retired last November, and the UFC kept it alive for one last hopeful fight out of him (possibly pass the torch on).

The guy has been getting wasted in Thailand & doesn’t look like he’s trained since last November, was pretty obvious that he was done.

Dude, you fucking lie too much man and change history. 26 training camps? Before the Jones fight? Lol the fuck are you talking about, “training camps” wasnt even really a thing till 06-07’s fighters were still trying to figure out what works in preparation for a fight. Lol at career ending knee injuries, this isn’t the 1990’s. By the way Shogun Rua himself said he wasn’t injured for the Jones fight, but you still claim he was. And you wonder why I call you dishonest.

  1. Can you provide proof that there was "no training camps" till 06'?
  2. Knee ligament tears were career ending until very recent (at the time shogun had injuries). In fact even now athletes dont come back to their previous form with surgery
  3. Can you show me where, in my post that you quoted, in this thread, I state that Shogun was injured for the Jones fight?
  4. You're the one thats entirely dishonest. Case in point #3 above. You literally make up stories in your deranged mind because you think I'm your father.
  5. Stop gurgling JBJ cum. He does not care about you
 
so when is he coming back?
an lol @ believing anythin dw an jj say...

Jon has never had any injuries?

You do know how Tom got an interim belt right?

You do realize that a pec tear before a retirement fight against a geriatric, inactive retired old fighter is in an entirely different universe than 3 knee ligament injuries/surgeries headed into fighting a young rising star, right?

As much as I don't like Jones as a person I don't understand why people are criticizing him so much for doing this. I completely understand why he wouldn't want to give Tom the chance to make a name off him and give him his first loss when he's Jones is 37 and past his prime. Why not just retire undefeated and not risk peoples last memory of you being knocked out?

It's not what he did, it's how he did it... the duck way...

1. What is your definition of a training camp?
2. Thats false, lots of athletes has recovered to their form if not better, S. Barkley from the Eagles for an example.
3. You said he had active AcL injury going to the Jones fight less than a week ago in a thread we were conversing in.
4. nah thats you, you make up a lot of bullshit.
5. Im not even a Jones nuthuggers. Lol. But somehow anyone who isn’t on the bandwagon of haters is considered one.
 
What would be great is if Tom gets destroyed in his next fight. HW division in more turmoil so the Tom nut huggers realize he would have been killed by Jon.

1. So you cant provide proof. Got it
2. FAR more examples of people coming back at a lesser form or having to take tons of time off post surgery. Off the top of my head: Kyrie, Porzingis, Acuna, Derrick Rose.
3. And you refuse to acknowledge my response because your absolutely deranged and delusional
4. Again see #3.
5. Sure bud. Your actions say otherwise. You literally run in to defend Jones every time someone questions his record, resume or what have you. Again delusional
