Aspinall will finish him in embarassing fashion if he doesn't retire beforehand.
Jones fans are experts at giving him wins against guys he never had to step in the cage with.So if Blaydes beats him that means Old Man Jones would had done the same?
I'd like to see them fight.
But, at the end of the day, i understand that its prize fighting first and a sport second.
Our own idealism about how we think combat sports should be in terms of hierarchy of deservedness and a linear system of rankings and opponents is great in theory.
But Its just that, an idealistic fantasy, which is never how things have worked, even going back to the early days of boxing.
Most pro fighters are gonna opt for the biggest possible fights when they only have 1 or 2 left.
Mighty mouse is also Jones age and said he's not coming back unless it gets his dick hard. If you dug deeper, this is 90% of fighters at a similar stage of their career.
Would you take a massive pay cut to fight someone the casual fanbase doesn't know, put on an event that does a fraction of the numbers, for your very last opportunity to make money for yourself and family?
Or do you take the big fight and event that gets you up running in the morning with a fire in your soul?
Especially when it comes to fighters later In their careers who are struggling to find the motivation just to do this.
People make this about fear, but it's just business.
No different than Ngannou leaving for boxing.
If he does fight again after Stipe, it will be a champ vs champ fight against Poatan.
I understand exactly where you're coming from, but I think people with your way of thinking regarding Jon Jones aren't seeing the bigger picture and in many cases, are allowing his outside the cage antics to get in the way of reason.
How did you manage to write such a long text without addressing any of the points in the post you were replying to? I.e. HW in his 40s who's been inactive for over 3 yearsweird stipe is 2-1 in his last 3 fights fighting championship fights
only got kod by nganou
you can actualy debate that he was just caught by a lucky punch
but your acting like hes a tony ferguson fighter who lost 5x in a row dude
are u comparing him to tony?
you cant even compare him to izzy who is 1-2 in his last 3 fights
the dude got humiliated again and again
now im sorry these are all facts
and facts doesnt care about your feelings or opinions
also gane was the boogeyman because hes at the top of the division
if you dont agree then why the hell cant they beat gane
im always here to give u facts
jones has been inactive for 3 yearsHow did you manage to write such a long text without addressing any of the points in the post you were replying to? I.e. HW in his 40s who's been inactive for over 3 years
Why do you keep implying that Jones v Stipe is a big fight, but Jones v Aspinall isn't?
"Could be ai"Just a friendly heads up. Orca & astralpanda are 2 of the biggest chatbots on this forum. They can type for days in circles without actually addressing a single good point you raise. Could be AI and probably not worth your time.
1.Aspinall is the #1 fight to make for obvious reasons but Jon ducked out."Could be ai"
I'd expect nothing less from someone who tried to argue that Woodley faked being unconscious after getting knocked put by Jake Paul in full seriousness..lol
The irony is that countless points have been made in several posts, but you've failed to address anything. Only showcase your masterful ability to beat around the bush
It's not about your opinion or mine.Aspinall is the #1 fight to make for obvious reasons but Jon ducked out. Aspinall-Jones makes more money than Miocic-Jones. Jake Paul puts in fake fights. Keep trying to change my mind about any of those 3 things.
Stop backpedaling, you twat. You were definitely taking a side. Now you’ve decided you’re not? LolIt's not about your opinion or mine.
It's about the facts.
All I did was break down multiple sides of the discussion, in great detail.
Both have merit.
It's just important to understand why decisions are made by fighters and the organization.
We can want a purist sport of competition, martial arts, the love of the art and simply finding out who the best is. I want that too.
But that's simply not how things have ever been. It becomes idealism that isn't grounded in reality, ignorant to the business of entertainment.
All I'm really suggesting is that it's implement to understand both sides. Disagreeing is fine, but it's a systemic issue, rather than something exclusive to any one fighter.
Well, it's one thing to claim someone puts on fake fights. It's another to go full Eddie bravo and say Tyron Woodley literally rehearsed pretending to be unconscious after he got knocked out by Jake Paul.1.Aspinall is the #1 fight to make for obvious reasons but Jon ducked out.
2.As of right now, Aspinall-Jones makes more money than Miocic-Jones.
3.Jake Paul puts on fake fights. Keep trying to change my mind about any of those 3 things.
Astralpanda disagrees with each of these and he’s is wrong.
You’re not being objective, you moron. You’re giving us your opinion just like everyone else is. You think Jake Paul is a fantastic boxer and his fights are 100% authentic, Ngannou ran away from Jones, and Aspinall is a nobody. I happen to disagree with your horrible takes.Well, it's one thing to claim someone puts on fake fights.

You're making this about your personal opinion.
That's what you don't seem to understand. The world doesn't revolve around you and facts don't care about your feelings.
I care about the objective truth more than I do feeding my own biases. That's the difference. You can't even acknowledge another side exists.
But, anyone who's listened to your takes shouldn't be surprised about that.

Quite literally, I haven't said any of those things.You’re not being objective, you moron. You’re giving us your opinion just like everyone else is.
