I don't understand the UFC with their decisions

[Ivancho]

Jones situation reminds me of GSP... Both were given a title shot in a higher division, but if I'm not mistaken, after the fight with Bisping, Dana White pressured GSP to defend the title, and when he vacated it, there was some kind of feud.

Why is the UFC repeating the same mistake with Jones and wasting the division's time? Is this just some marketing strategy they’re pushing with Jones? First, they ruined the Ngannou-Jones superfight, and now they're wasting Aspinall's time—a guy who could be a great product to sell as champion. Are they really being smart?

Do aspinall need to suck dana's d?

You can't understand their decisions because your apparently not a greedy sociopathic pos.

This isn't a bad thing.

 

[WoozyFailGuy]

They wanted GSP to lose to the next guy so they could build Bobby Knuckles off GSP's name.
Dana doesn't want Jon to lose so that he can always say he had the GOAT as an employee and all other organizations are jokes because of that one fact.
My thoughts, at least, but I'm not a corporate stooge.

None of us plebs can even begin to attempt to understand the business genius of Daner White

If half of Sherdog went into a business meeting with Dana White, there wouldn't be a lotta folks coming back out!

Half??

 

[Reileyb]

The difference between the current situation with Jones and the past with GSP is, Jones and Dana mutually have each others meat in their mouths.

GSP did what he did solely for himself and then fucked off.

I'm sure their respective past negotiations are also very similar, Dana has a history of treating fighters that negotiate hard like shit.

 

[Pittie Petey]

Its called the fight business for a reason

 

[Arm Barbarian]

I'm near certain Picto has some sort of dirt on the big bald goof.

His fellating of Jones and excusing him endlessly after all the failed drug tests, being stripped, troubles with the law etc., has been bizarre to behold.

Jon must have helped him bury a body or something.

 

[DoctorStoppage]

You put Dana White in a business meeting with any man on this fucking planet, there’s only one man coming out on top

The first thing you need to realize is that decisions aren't made with the sport in mind or even the UFC in mind, they're made to satisfy the egos of the people in charge. After that, you begin to see a bit of logic in what they do. As for the crazier shit, like how subservient Dana is to building Jones' paper HW legacy, the best I can guess is blackmail.

Half of the decisions Dana makes revolve around money.

The other half are about power and control.

 

[CroCopsLHK]

They were supposed to fight international fight week last year but it got moved to November. Then Jones says he got injured and they moved it a YEAR forward. Dana, Jones and Stipe seemed content with that choice

The last two years stink of Conor vs Chandler and Jones vs Stipe and yeah I'm sick of it too

 

[blaseblase]

If Jones beats Stipe and retires I imagine Dana will stop sucking him off. He's probably doing it because Jones is the biggest draw in the company and he sees dollar signs. Once Jones is no longer making him money his tune will change.

 

[CroCopsLHK]

But the simple answer is

Ufc have no more of yesterday's stars. Jones is the only relevant one. He's been on title fights for like 15 years. I know he's not a "giant star" but UFC will do anything to promote a fight of his and they hope it can generate another fight

 

[ferrisjso]

GSP retired after refusing to do a rematch of controversial fight 100% of the MMA media thought he lost. He then came back 5 years to poach a belt held by a gatekeeper in a stacked division and lied about his intent to defend the title.

Jones's situation is different.

You're not wrong about that. I think part of the reason is he doesn't have formal training. Most business guys have an MBA and some sort of commerce undergraduate degree, it means they will think similarly, Dana seems to fly by the seat of his pants sort of so it's hard to predict what he's going to do/say.

 

[nonoob]

Jon must have helped him bury a body or something.

More than likely Jon took videos buryin' his bone in Dana's body.

Because Dana is obsessed with Jones.

You figure out the rest, alright.
