IT's not a deflection bro, they hold all the power. They could have given jones an ultimatum at any time and they chose not to. It's zero percent on jones.

There is no way good Ole Jonny boy was publicly, or privately, misleading, leading on, or bargaining for more money during that time.

He was simply telling ufc no, and they wouldn't accept it

Well there was a point where he said "I've told my plans to the UFC already" which means they were okay with him stalling as long as he want. I think the UFC held out hope and tried to make Jon happy and I think Jon just changed his mind. And I think when you're a fighter like Jon you're going to take a moment to chew on it before you decided to end your career and relinquish your title. He did the same thing with the LHW title aswell. You can't possibly think Jones forced them to keep the belt around him


And by the way, I never said he wasn't leading on and misleading them. I said the exact opposite of that. I think Jones dragged it out to honey dick Tom as his final big leaguing and fuck you to Tommy. I do think he did it on purpose. I do believe that Jones is a petty and vindictive person. Just can't see why the UFC allowed it.

Agreed. And he didn't want to fight Tom
 
As a Jones fan he started to annoy me, and I think the super good guy shtick was a little over the top.

But I don't believe that potentially losing his eyesight is a proportional punishment for that. And if he's really getting surgery for this then the MMA community owes him an apology.
 
The worst possible thing about this eye poke...

I think Jones has downloaded enough data of Tom, where he feels some confidence

But finally when he does, and Jon wants a white house fight, he can't call his name anymore. Jon has to wait if he truly wants it

This division is near parody
 
Sympathy for Tom here.

I think most people's backlash is about how Tom went about reporting it... but I'm not interested in Tom as a reporter, I'm interested in watching him fight.

Gane is a chronic cheater & so this was no accident. It was an intentional foul meant to give him an advantage in the fight, but it backfired in a very bad way. Something like this can & should get the refs to start taking points. No more mandantory free eye pokes.

No, he’s been getting backlash for everything surrounding the fight. Imagine if he just quit after the eyepoke with none of the hospital whining videos, none of the videos of his dad complaining, none of the fake AI medical reports. Then just had the UFC announce that he’s out for X months due to the injury. Tom would be getting zero backlash.

Trying to spin it and say Tom is getting hate for being eyepoked is ridiculous. I’m sure the people who believe this are the usual fake Tom fans who are just Jones haters in disguise.

In what reality?

People were lashing out seconds after the eye poke, the next day, non stop for a week.
People claimed he quit. Broke his nose so he "wanted a way out", blah blah blah...

Delusional take doggy, absolutely delusional.

(Side note, decided to google aspinall fake ai medical report. Nothing, except some "mma neckbeard" on youtube claiming bullshit about people. Please feel free to post that evidence and I'll update my opinion here)
 
US fans mostly, US is just troll culture now and nothing else matters. These people care more about the guy they dislike losing than anyone they like winning. Loser mentality.

Tom will just have to work through the loud opinions of people who will never matter.

I’m not even a Tom fan, but the perception is so odd to me. Gane gets to eye poke and some how is elevated for it while Tom gets the ire of the fans. That to me just shows how stupid the general public has gotten.
 
This topic is pointless here given the particular demographics of this forum. There's been 100+ threads at this point, all as disingenuous as the last. Hasn't been a single honest conversation since the fight lol. Not that there aren't people who are trying, but the narrative police are working this case in shifts. May as well be talking about cartoons or Marvel movies at this point, thats how goofy and convoluted the narratives are. And to think, they all originate from someone who wasn't even in the fight. Nothing good ever comes from idol worship.

Seconds after the eyepoke sure, the live threads will have people talking shit. He did quit, after all, which disappoints fans.

But all the backlash he’s received since then, he keeps bringing on himself.
