Here Dana said he doesn't like Francis and that it doesn't matter if he were or became the HW champion. Francis wasn't a guy he is wanted to do business with. Stated right before the Jon Jones vs Miocic fight, like 2 weeks before. And then the reporter said that Dana says that Jon Jones would walk out of any room, so he asked why he wouldn't want to see him do that vs Ngannou? Dana said because Francis didn't want the fight, that he wasn't a guy he liked, he wasn't a good guy. And then Dana said that Aspinall deserves the chance to share the octagon with Jon Jones.



Here Jon Jones after the Miocic fight, said he doesn't want to do business with Tom Aspinall, because he finds Tom annoying. But that if he gives Tom the opportunity, he will want the fuck you money. Else, Jon Jones said he doesn't care if he vacates the belt, and don't fight again.


It's weird... The JJ interview was weeks after the Dana one... Did Jon Jones frame that answer kind of, maybe, picking on Dana White in a clever way?

Maybe.

It's like after they got rid of francis, Maybe jones saw their hands were tied and now Jon is hardballing him because he now ONLY has one option
 
Jon will come up with any excuse to explain away why he won’t fight Tom. Anyone else would have been stripped long ago. It’s unbelievable he’s still “champion”.

The UFC is failing yet again to market a highly exciting and marketable young HW with an incredible highlight reel. So dumb
 
It's not about who Dana likes. Francis has zero personality and can't be sold to the masses. Same as Aspinal, his worth is headlining cards in England. But at this point, Dana would rather have Tom beat Jones because Tom is young and they can use that win for the rest of Tom's career. Kinda like Holly/Ronda head kick ko. It's good for the highlight reel

Stipe got the fight against Jones because Dana knew he could get 2 more fights out of Jones this way. We all know Tom is too young, fast and powerful for Jones at this point. Tom would've dusted the version of Jones that fought Stipe.

Everything comes down to business and what makes UFC the most money. It's not about who Dana "likes" and doesn't like

It's a shame about Francis too because his story is so incredible. If his personality was a little stronger I feel like he could've broken into massive mainstream popularity with that backstory, especially after what he did against Fury. It the movie ended right there, it's an amazing Hollywood script: don't forget, Rocky loses to Apollo at the end of the first movie, but the fact that he made it close and put up a war was the triumph. The only difference is it's a little weird when instead of the smaller gritty fighter, the underdog in the story is a giant musclebound freak and the invincible brash champion is a fat sloppy looking guy.

His personality, like, his ability to sell fights, doesn't matter. He's there to fight, not to act.
 
Jon Jones and Tom confirmed. JJ will fight Tom. And JJ said he'd fight Alex after Tom, so he's obviously confident he'll beat Tom.

I think JJ wins tbh. Tough fight, but like DDP and Jiri Prochakza said, JJ is more than likely going to win. I think so too, but it'll be an exciting fight for sure!
