ESPN posted incredible record Jon Jones and Tom Aspinall are on pace to set

[Mr Wings]

Longest reigning interim champ

Ehh wake me up when a HW champ can beat Stipe's "record" of 3 title defenses. Feels like some Pride HWs would've gotten that in a year.

Steroids just being allowed in MMA was way more fun as a spectator, just like baseball in the late 90s

 

[RockyLockridge]

Jones = GOAT can't argue it now

 

[RoseHDCovington]

strip Jones

Strip him and cover him is eggs, flour, eggs again, then bread crumbs. Because hes a chicken

 

[whocares]

Jon's reign at HW consists of beating a non-title holder, an old retired guy and running away from the only contender (two if you want to count NGannou) who could justify his existence in the weight class.

Can't expect more from a DEI beltholder.

I agree. Also seems like HW division gets the worst of it when it comes to recovering from injuries and activity. But also even pre-Usada we had cursed division. Couture's negotiations, Brock's illness, Cain's injuries. Still bet PEDs increase the odds of a functional division.

Is this a joke/troll post from them trying to rile up fans? LOL

And it's working perfectly

 

[tritestill]

Espn is a bag of shit

What does that have to do with the facts of the post sir?

 

[MrShady]

The "champ" doesn't want to fight the interim champ.

Goat turned to Duck real quick

Sometimes the asterisks write themselves.

 

[Pechan]

You just know they are gonna use that "longest reigning HW champ ever" BS

Your "10 year GOAT" idol Fedor only had 3 title defenses himself in a much longer timespan so lets throw some cold water on that claim right away.

I know I just need to accept HW is forever fucked, and stop being all hopeful and shit. Look how long HW has gone on in the UFC with so much fuck ups. I even forgot Mir winning the belt to get in a motorcycle accident right afterwards. Almost like a comedy the revolving door it's been.

Jon "Shook" Jones

 

[nostradumbass]

I assume they're somewhat shitting on Jon by posting that since they said in the same post that Tom will be the longest reigning interim champ before Jon would have the record. Not like it's a secret that Jon won a vacant title and his only defense is an elderly fireman he pulled out of retirement

 

[arcadeperfect]

Lol @ longest reign. That shouldn't even count as a record when you can rank squat. Title defenses is the only metric that should matter when it comes to longevity.

 

[TriangleMonkey]

Would this classify as 4-D chess?

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

UFC HW division is in a really sad state, its just so boring, its beyond boring, we get a UFC HW title fight like once every 2 years, there is also barely any big time HW fights outside of the title, its so lame.

Its really sad to see.

 

[ocfightfan]

That's a pretty retarded statistic.
