Didn't Jones always intend to retire after Stipe?

I distinctly remember him at least implying that. Then Jones got injured and they booked Aspinall/Pavlovich for the IC, which Aspinall won. And then you had a ton of speculation about the UFC booking a fight between Jones and Aspinall to make him undisputed HW champ. But I'm straining to think of even one time where Jones even expressed an interest in this fight. I think his plan was always to beat Stipe and retire.
 
Well, some posters say he will 100% fight Tom in November. He is just trolling everyone. We just have to wait 6 more months and enjoy the drama.
 
He’s taking his time and lengthening his “reign” to untouchable proprtions



Conor laid the template, win the second belt and sit on your merits to the very end




Just do what Im doing, pretend HW doesn’t even fucking exist until next year sometime

The worst part is the pink goof wasting the prime years of the best HW we've seen in the last decade (and the future of his HW division).

There are not that many interesting fights for Tom - Gane and Almeida. Gane is injured and Tom is probably going to KO Almeida before he can do anything.
 
consider jones retired.

he is trolling aspinal. he is trying to michael chandler him into wasting two years of his career. jones will sign for a fight that is six months away. back out due to injury. aspinal probalby takes a vacated hw title fight. then jones trolls him for another year before pulling out.

sadly the ducking i think has ruined jones legacy. i don't consider him all time #1 anymore. he is behind gsp, anderson for sure. I would argue behind mighty mouse too at this point.
 
I think, deep down, JJ will fight Tom and defeat him. Gonna be tough, but yeah, I think JJ will have his final moment of Glory and beat Tom. Not that he would need that, but NY beating Tom, I think even haters would just recognize he is the best ever...
 
Tom has also given hints that the fight is going to happen. I really think the fight will happen, I mean it.

He'll be the greatest even if Tom were to smoke him, but this whole thing's just annoying. Hopefully the fight materializes.
 
Yeah but that doesnt make his plan any better

If the fight happens it would be the first time in years that Dana actually contributed something to negotions and actually made a fight from difficult basis.
 
Here Tom's most recent interview. It looks like the fight will happen, yes!!

Of course he did.

He said about the first time he was scheduled to fight Stipe. That MSG would be perfect for his last fight.

But he’s such a lowlife he didn’t vacate the title. Same thing he did at LHW. Had his last fight, and then just sat on it for 7 months before vacating.

After fighting Tom, he's done. He won't leave Tom alone

the only thing that should make jones not the goat is the failed tests lol, this fight does nothing for his legacy and idk why you guys are acting like tom is the second coming or something, its obvious jones is the more talented, higher iq fighter. People simply want Jones to take the fight because they know father time is coming and they want to see him lose.

He always intended to cherry pick after his hiatus, fighting Stipe and then wanting to fight Pereira.

Oh Stipe and Pereira, two easy fights!!! Stipe who defeated Cormier, whom was 1-1 vs Ngannou!!

And Pereira, who beat Jiri Prochazka twice, who beat Adesanya while cutting a lot of weight, and who while sick and with a broken wrist, gave Ankalaev the toughest fight Ankalaev had!!! Wow that's cherry picking yeah!!

He will fight Tom. If, IF he beats Tom, then the excuses will pivot to any ridiculous stuff. "Ohh Tom wasted his prime waiting for JJ!!" lol... As if 1 year waiting for a 30 yo guy is detrimental when JJ is 37 lmao. The copium never ends
 
I see how people act...

If JJ doesn't want the fight — people will want that fight because that's the guy who can beat him!
If JJ accepts the fight, then the narrative starts to flip and ppl hopes he actually retires instead of fighting, because they know that if JJ chose it, he is likely to win.... That just shows how good JJ is. Deep down, they know Jon Jones can beat any fighter lol
