Dana White hopes Jon Jones vs. Stipe Miocic winner unifies with Tom Aspinall: 'If both retire, f*cking that'll suck'

Dana White thinks Stipe Miocic will retire after his next fight but Jon Jones’ “competitive spirit” will see him face Tom Aspinall.

After the fight they both retire and that's why this fight has been so fucking annoying, just get it done so Aspinall can get his rightful strap.

Stipe retires for sure, probably Jon too.

If they both retire it won't suck at all, Dana. Many of us are expecting as much, and the HW division can finally get on with the show.

 

[Milenkovic]

I think we all know that neither of them are fighting Tom.

 

[Prologue]

Looking forward to Dana refusing to mention both Jones and Miocic in spite when they both retire, just as he did GSP.

Dana: "Aspinall is the HW GOAT, always has been, anyone who says different is a fucking goof!"

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

They both retire...

And the two biggest , current , fighters ( Pereira and Aspinall ) fight for the official belt...

 

[linvillegorge]

It's highly likely they both retire. That's why they keep this Aspinall interim belt alive. Jones will try to force an absolute bag out of Dana to fight Aspinall. Dana will offer him some 20% off coupons for Venom gear and then claim that Jones is being ridiculous for not accepting.

I sure hope so. Jones will be pissed.

 

[KO Shotz]

I don't care about Jones vs Stipe. I hope Stipe pulls out & Aspinall fills in, because Jon vs Tom is the fight to make right now.

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

I'm really looking forward to Jon vs. Stipe, mostly because my heart isn't filled with hatred and bitterness

 

[SuperNerd]

Fuck this fight.

I don't care if I get 40 people over, I'm not paying for it. I'm rivering the shit out of this card.

 

[JBJ was here]

I don't care about Jones vs Stipe. I hope Stipe pulls out & Aspinall fills in, because Jon vs Tom is the fight to make right now.

That's a great scenario, unless the quite likely result of Jones winning and retiring happens, in which case the UFC heavyweight division is well and truly fucked.

 

[Pulk]

I wonder if Aspinall will be allowed to be a backup incase Jones or Stipe get injured in the run up.

If that was the case you'd think there would be more pressure on Jon to 'potentially' pass the torch on to the future of the UFC HW division.

You know Dana is going to have Aspinall ready to jump in if need be.

 

[Prologue]

If that was the case you'd think there would be more pressure on Jon to 'potentially' pass the torch on to the future of the UFC HW division.

It would be really interesting to be a fly on the wall during these discussions, because Jones vs Aspinall should be plain as day. And it doesn't seem like there's a whole lot of UFC exec love for Stipe.

Maybe there's some hope Jones sticks around, but really doesn't seem like it outside looking in.

What a piece of shit.

Rather than "hoping" the winner faces Aspinall, how about offering SO MUCH MONEY that the winner has no choice but to accept?

That's the only way this gets done.

 

[AmonTobin]

Fuck this fight.

Ya would be kinda cool if enough fight fans boycotted this one just to send a message.

What makes you think there's not a whole lot of love for Stipe?
