Dana just can't quit Jon Jones

[Captain Herb]

It doesn't make any sense. Dana has always screwed the fighters for his own person gain, and for the dollars in the pockets of their private investors but this time it's weird. Jon is on his last fight, or already had his last fight. Jon never brought in amazing ppv numbers like Brock, Rhonda, or Connor. He may be their last recognizable star by name but he is done. How many times can he say he doesn't want to be a champ and compete with the best fighters anymore? Why is Dana not listening to him and moving on? What is the hang up? It's weird.

Alotta fighters and alotta old school fans consider JJ the last legend in the sport. people who been involved in or just a fan of the sport from way back, many of whom no longer pay attention -still recognize Skinneh as an ATG. Probably hard for Daners to let go of that legacy.

Oh my God man who gives a fuck? It's not going to happen. There's a 0% chance they fight.

The bigger issue is that the UFC has completely ran out of heavyweights.

Right, it's like he is operating on emotion when he never did that before

Maybe they are Eskimo bros

Let's not forget the reports are probably real of declining PPVs and an angry host (ESPN). Dana will do whatever he has to in getting big fights signed that will sell well; I don't know if calling it "desperation" is overstating the case, but it's something like that.

That's a round about way of saying UFC is dying. I hope you're actually right. I'm tired of their greedy watered down shit.

I'm actually very happy I'm in a small market and don't pay premium for their bullshit

Dana has what's called Jones salty balls itis. They're stuck in his throat. Unfortunately he'll need emergency surgery to cure.

[Wreckless]

Agreed

His highest selling PPV was against DC and it sold 860K.

His fight against Anthony Smith did 520-650K and that was the last disclosed PPV.

He's nowhere near Conor.

 

[Aurelian]

The hang-up is HW is a dead division and Aspinall vs Jones is the only fight that will break 100k buys

 

[kingmob6]

Haven't you heard JJ is living his best life riding mopeds in thailand. Aspinall can wait.

 

[Ibm]

Because hes the last american UFC fighter who is the biggest draw.

It looks like Dana is finally coming to terms it's not going to happen. But I'm sure he still sees it as a shit situation. They can't sell Gane. Almeida is a hard sell. Aspinall has already beat like half the top 10.

Then just get on with the crappy fights, it's a lot better than this Jon Jones bullshit
