Media Islam Makhachev Attacks Jon Jones For Ducking Tom Aspinall

[Steve Fox]

Stipe has been out for longer than Cejudo was retired. Why in the world should've Islam use someone still active when Jones didn't?

Look, I am not arguing that in terms of the sport itself Jones should fight Aspinall, that's a given. Technically Stipe is still active. BJ Penn is a known case of CTE and terribly shape after retiring, being also knocked out by randoms on the street. if anything, it is in very poor taste by Islam or Ali, that is my point.

It would be the second most impressive win in Jon Jones career next to beating DC.

It's also a great matchup for us fans. Jones/Aspinall would be the biggest fight of the year.

None of Jones accomplishments come without a little star insignia beside them stating they don't really count like a real fight since he got busted so many times for PED's lol

Christ this year he assaulted and threatened the female random tester who showed up and agreed to attend "anger management" classes to resolve the charges.

A skunk never loses its stripe

lmaaaao islam cooked that old duck

I find all this nonsense is just so fucking disrespectful to Stipe, I mean the guy is 42 but hes not ancient...he looked good in all of his last outing except the Francis KO and even then he looked decent up until he was out cold. Islam comparing Jones vs Stipe to him fighting Penn is just disgraceful and no even in the same category by any means.

The fighters know. Everyone knows.

Jon Jones is just hurting his legacy at this point with the most blatant ducking ever witnessed in combat sports.

hes trapped in a corner now
not sure if that was intented like its now
probably not

 

[Genki Sudo]

That's brutal though! Man didn't even stop at the mid 2010's for frankie Edgar and just went straight to mid noughties... Prime 'just bleed'

Though that said its all fun and games until Penn actually turns up expecting Islam to honor his word

 

[GluttonforPunishment]

Jones truly brings out the dumbest posters on this board.

 

[Dr Brian Pepper]

Jones at the tail end of the most successful mma career of all time, moves up to HW and wins the belt beating the number 2 guy and then wants to retire on his own terms while islams last 4 wins were all featherweights lol

 

[Rollerball]

Reyes beat Jones and no one will ever convince me otherwise of that fact.

JJ is the most overrated GOAT ever for all the reasons already mentioned. Quack quack and I don't think his list of opponents is all that impressive honestly.

That being said, he's on the Mt Rushmore still.

If he'd beat Tom I'd give him GOAT though. Would be fucking massive.

 

[HHJ]

then wants to retire on his own terms

His can retire without the belt.

 

[Pious Augustus]

Islam should be worrying more about himself than other fighters. Last time i checked Adriano was dunking on him and dribbling his head on the canvas. Less time on twitter/instagram Islam and more time on that striking defense.

10 years ago was the last time you checked?

fighters also call him the GOAT

 

[orca]

He’s afraid to take a loss against Aspinall. Is that the mentality of a GOAT or any true fighter? I don’t think so.

Never have we witnessed this type of ducking in combat sports before.

kinda like gsp mentality when he didnt no want to defend at MW
hes like im out with no negotiation
looool
