Media Dana White: Jon Jones accepted the fight

[TerraRayzing]

I don't know if he is lying, coping or covering up for his Jones.

 

[MigitAs]

Yeah ok

 

[DrRodentia]

It's gone on too long. Interest has dwindled. If this was all a tactic, I think it backfired for whoever was pushing it.

That means Jones did not accept the fight

So it sounds like he did retire.

No it hasn't. You will definitely watch it.

Fuck off and strip Jones, bruh. They are hurting Aspinall's career for no reason whatsoever.

Sure he did Dana, and we know you would never lie.

​

Well, It is a done deal, except Jones hasn't actually done the official contract signing.

Huge if true.

Under what conditions? When Jones feels like training again. Soon after Tom fights someone else, like Woodley did to Maia.

 

[DrRodentia]

No it hasn't. You will definitely watch it.

Yeah but I watch everything. I watch the early prelims of Apex cards.

Do they got new broadcasting ? I think this fight is leverage for a new deal. It should be on the new network they sign with.

Nah

Jones vs Aspinall is obviously the biggest fight to make in MMA today. And why has it become so? By Jones getting the belt, and Tom the interim? No.

It has become so by the narrative of Jones ducking. Jones vs. Tom would have been an ok fight a year ago - now it is huge.

Keep telling yourself that you aren't interested: Every single time you're telling yourself just that, you're getting more interested.

It's basic psychology.

 

[DrRodentia]

Nah

Do you think letting this go on so long that the general casual viewing public has forgotten who Aspinall is was a beneficial tactic?

This forum will watch it.

For the rest of the world it’s Jon Who?

Do you think letting this go on so long that the general casual viewing public has forgotten who Aspinall is was a beneficial tactic?

Aspinal is not that big yet, and Jones is not the star he used to be 10 years ago. In fact is the classic fight where the young lion meets the old star.

With that been said, interest will grow as the fight is booked.

But I honestly think that Ngannou vs Jones would have been bigger.
