DC calls out Jon Jones for not fighting

[icemun]

I want Dc to come out of retirement and fight Jones at heavyweight

Why would anyone want to do this to DC??

He strikes me as a genuinely nice and respected guy

Come out of retirement after seeing him get knocked out cry in last encounter with Jones to experience something worse?

Wtf is wrong with people?

 

[icemun]

Anything DC ever says about Jones will always come off as sour grapes BUT he's not wrong here. I also have ZERO doubt DC was always clean and Jon was always a dirty fighter. If they met without the sauce or at HW I 100 percent believe DC spanks that ass.

The elite d1 wrestler and Olympian, always clean...
Okay

Remember when DC was the HW champion and Jon refused to fight him and become HW champion because Jon wasn’t on his steroids anymore.

I remember

Jon has never been a HW and so had no obligation to go to HW. He's a LHW so of course he returned to LHW. And went on the win the title and defend it 3x more. Which is the same amount of defence DC accomplished in his entire run lol.

DC meanwhile was literally the reigning LHW champion at the time and instead chose to drop the title rather than even attempt defending against Jon again after how badly it went last time.

 

[Arrrrgh]

DC is still obsessed with Jon.

And vise versa.

I think Jon fucks up his personal life so DC can feel better about losing.

Deep down Jon is the nice guy he's always pretended to be. He's just big braining this shit to help DC win what he never could in wrestling.

(Sorry DC. I love you and DP both my favorite fighters. Just talking shit lol)

I think Dc is better at heavyweight than at light heavyweight, Jones was on gas the last time they fought, I honestly think he can win

He talks for a living. He doesn’t talk about JJ probably 99.9% of the time.

And everything be said here was correct.

 

[Fioretti]

Jon really does need to fight. He wasted 2 years of his prime with this fuckery.

 

[STRYDG]

Did not realize it's been two years. Oh goodness. How long does he need to prepare?

Same, thought it was maybe 1 year lol.
Covid lockdowns fucks your sense of time up.

Whereas I haven’t seen him fight in like 6 <Lmaoo>

Very few would agree you.

Certainly not the odd makers.

Big mouth whiny DC needs to get a life. Jones should do what Jones is comfortable with on his career path. If the money isn't there for a first HW fight it would be stupid to give in for a low dollar fight versus a nobody.

DC was way too slow and sluggish at HW his second go. LHW was his best chance against Jon because it forced him into shape. The difference between how DC moved against Jon vs Stipe was night and day

But Jones agrees

“I think my greatest chance of losing would be to a guy like Daniel Cormier. We’d be giving him a power and strength advantage over me; it just doesn’t make sense….it would just make no sense to fight a guy who, I think, technically (is) on your level and to give him a size advantage. I’m not doing it. I’m sure my fans don’t like to hear me talk like that, but that’s just me being a realist – and being respectful of Daniel’s abilities.”​

You have zero doubt that the guy peaking at 40 who was a former Olympic wrestler with sketchy T/E ratios was always clean?

I don't care what he did in the Olympics. In the ufc he never popped and looks like he eats at Popeyes every meal. Jones DIDDDDD pop multiple times. These are facts regardless how you try to twist your words.

 

[1s1k]

DC knows exactly why Jones hasn't fought in almost two years but he's not allowed to say it. He's just throwing it out there hoping someone does his dirty work.

 

[krelianx]

DC is right.

Also, are we just magically forgetting that Jon's last two fights were against Santos and Reyes, where he looked far from impressive abd arguably lost? Why would anyone expect Jon to perform better against Ngannou if he had trouble with a MW going up with two blown knees?

It has been two years since.

 

[Captain Herb]

Jon has been serving a secret USADA suspension since early 2020, why else would he randomly decided to not fight for 2 years out of what's left of his prime? It's the only logical explanation

No, it's not the only logical explanation. In fact it's not even a logical explanation at all because USADA still has to announce suspensions when they happen. The most logical explanation is that Jon Jones is done. He may not completely realize it yet, he may continue to try to fool others, he may continue to fool himself. But in his heart he knows it.

 

[Jose Beehive]

I think DC would struggle to make weight at Heavyweight these days...

Who cares what Jon does, it's not like he's holding up a division.

I don't think odds were ever posted for DC/Jones at heavyweight. In any case, They'll have a Chuck/Tito in Bellator style fight in about 5 years.
