Media Dana defends Jones/Stipe “They’ve paid their dues” Aspinall still “working his way up; doesn’t deserve anything”

[Makani]

Just Bleed God, you've given me so much, but if it please you, please have Stipe knock Jones senseless and land a Russow mitt of doom upon his frozen visage before he rides into the sunset. Amen.

Lmfao this fucking goof can feed you shit and will convince you that it was a tasty porridge.

 

[pamirec]

Fun fact: Jon has only fought once the l

Why are they so obsessed with making this fight happen? It's trash, it will last a minute, no one will remember it or care about it.

At this point it looks like Dana suffers from OCD. He must get it done even though it makes zero sense and nobody wants to see it. The more people hate his ideas, the harder he’ll try to make it happen just to prove a “point”. Powerslap is a perfect example.

He's a young, exciting and dominant UK guy (which is something that UFC always wanted), and Dana is going out of his way to bury him.

Key point, he's young

Dana knows this guy will be around for many years to come

Jones and Stipe on the other hand are at deaths door career wise and wants to milk that shit one last time at any cost

Tom will always be there after that is done and then he will be promoted as the new GOAT better than Jones/Stipe etc by Dana himself

Let's have Mark Kerr v Don Frye for the HW title in 2027, they've paid their dues

 

[Psychojoe86]

Disgraceful and a pure embarrassment. Tom deserves much better.

 

[WhiteMousse]

Stipe has paid his dues. Everyone has been paying Jon's dues for years

 

[Mike JV]

Holy shit Dana is such a badass I wish he was the champ

 

[Poatan Power]

Sorry but I agree in the context of he doesn't deserve to demand a Jones fight and supercede the Miocic fight. Jones and Stipe wanna fight? Cool. They're both old and can see themselves out.

 

[mudrubble]

Since when does Dana give 2 shits about Stipe? He never cared for the guy when he was champion and all of a sudden he's paid his dues? The guy has sat our for 3 years and is coming off a brutal KO loss and is always demanding title shots and immediate rematches. As for Jon, the guy has been nothing but a liability. Multiple destroyed cards/events, multiple PED failures and he's being rewarded with a favorable match up and is allowed to hold the undisputed title hostage? Jon and Stipe obviously have dirt on Dana.

Someone knows where the hookers are buried. And they will be compensated for such knowledge.

This. He's easily the toughest guy in the whole org. I don't understand why he doesn't fight.... strange.....

You have to be some kind of moron to Pay for UFC PPV's at this point. I haven't bought a UFC PPV since they got rid of cableTV PPV's, but even lately the best thing i did was get rid of the ESPN+/Disney+/Hulu bundle and switch to MAX/Disney+/Hulu bundle. Its highly unlikely UFC will ever see ANY money from me anymore.

I used to watch them at bars. There was a time you had to get there an hour early to get in. Those bars have dropped it, since people stopped coming. Even movie theaters don't have it.

Now I just wait until the day after the PPV and watch the main fights on youtube.

 

[TeenageMutantLesnarTurtle]

Beats half of the current top 10 in the first round, wins a belt and defends it.

"still working his way up"

 

[Dorkman]

The best thing to do is just be like fine Dana, have this fight since clearly you're so dead set on having it. Then as a fan just don't buy the fight. It's the only way to get through to a guy like Dana. So long as he thinks jon sells, he will be this way about him. If you're complaining about the fight being useless(which it is), and then actually give them money for it you got nothing to complain about really. If he sees middling numbers trust he will immediately expedite the process to focusing on propping Tom up. Especially now that he dosent have a belt on Leon anymore for the British market.

As fans we can hate all we want but its just the way it is in sports. You get paid and respected on what you have done not what you could/will do.
