Media Islam Makhachev Attacks Jon Jones For Ducking Tom Aspinall

[Sean Chowdhury]

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.

at least that was a young Islam, Jones in his "prime" got his ass whooped and lost 48-47 to reyes and had to win a rigged decision, he shit his pants and decided to not take another LHW fight because he realized he wasn't fighting middleweights anymore

 

[Sean Chowdhury]

Exactly this. Hard to see how low IQ he actually is if he doesn’t realize it. Should be the last person to talk about picking opponents.
It’s an embarrassing pot calling the kettle black situation here.

this makes no sense, volk was the p4p#1 and the UFC made that fight, not Islam. He also beat oliveira's ass who was the LW champ and smoked chandler, gaethje and dustin and was on a 10 fight winning streak. And he beat Dustin who's arguably a top 5 UFC lightweight of all time, he fought 1 featherweight who was p4p #1, that's it. Who did he duck?

The only thing that doesn’t make sense is a guy, with one title defense against a fighter in his own weight class and zero defenses against the number one contender, talking shit to a guy with over ten defenses in his weight class and going up in weight.

He's a notorious Islam hater, a butthurt Oliveira's fan, Makhachev made his idol look like a scrub. He's always spreading lies and downplaying Islam.

People really believing Islam said that huh

You guys have spent half a day and 5 pages on a tweet from an American teenager quoting an unnamed "Russian source"

Islam is a bum compared to Jones. Goes life and death with Poirier and he thinks he can compare himself to the GOAT?

Wake me up when Islam as a champion beats someone who wasn’t a FW.

Hold on a second, you're gonna criticize Islam for going life and death with Poirier, a fight he finished by submission. Poirier who's seen as among the greatest LWs ever. But keep your mouth shut on Jon going life and death with Gustaffson and Reyes and winning a split decision over Santos??

Islam did that, he beat Olivera who was a defending champion on a great run and he beat Poirier. How many MWs did Jon beat BTW?? Santos, Smith, Rashad, Machida, Sonnen, Vitor, that's half his defenses buddy.

I think it's time to STFU.

Lets hope this is mentioned non stop to the point Jones will takes the fight and gets KFTO early.

[Only Here for Attachments]

Like Islam would fight Tom

 

[Prince Nephilim]

Islam is still mad that Khabib’s father said Jones is the Greatest fighter of all time

 

[Black9]

Like Islam would fight Tom

Not heavyweight but I honestly believe Islam can actually beat a few of the top 10 at MW and LHW.

Those divisions are pretty shallow currently lol.

 

[bjjwar]

Lol Islam read my thread. I’ve been saying this since the fight got announced, its ridiculous. The UFC and Jones should be embarrassed

 

[ThaiSexPills]

Nobody would be mad at, or criticize Jones over this if he wasn’t holding the belt hostage.

He should have gave up the belt when he was injured then got Stipe as a retirement fight. He could have saved face, got the fight he wanted and rode off peacefully into the sunset. Instead, his bizarre desire to hold onto a paper belt has tarnished his career and made him the laughing stock of MMA.

Dude was one of the best ever but will be remembered for being the biggest duck in the sport. Ironically, he fought the best his whole career and ducked nobody up until this. He has every right to pick his retirement fight if he would give up the belt to do so. That’s the issue - the belt. And it obviously bothers him because he comments on it every day.

Islam Makhachev making fun of Jon Jones and his refusal to fight Tom Aspinall

DC must've put him up to it lol

"

This is awesome ha ha

 

[Squarechoke]

He's got a fight scheduled whats he supposed to do fight both the same day?

If Bones beats Aspinall everyone will just say Tom was never that good and was a hype job lol

That's a pointless question to ask since him having a fight scheduled is obviously part of the ducking that people are pointing out. If Jones had done his job as champ we wouldn't be in this situation. There is no other legitimate opponent than the interim champion, and certainly not one that hasn't won a fight in over 4 years.

Wake me up when Islam as a champion beats someone who wasn’t a FW.

Jones is a bum compared to Islam. Goes life and death with Gustafsson and he thinks he can compare himself to one of the GOATS. Busted for PEDS. Cormier drops down to face him TWICE. Jones wouldn't move up to face him ONCE. Blatantly makes excuses and DUCKS the (real) interim HW champion. Wake me up when Jones as a champion convincingly beats someone whole hes not using peds, and who wasn't old and battleworn, practically retired and coming off a brutal loss, drained from weight-cutting while also being much shorter and having a shorter reach.

 

[Big Tuppy Hole]

Savage response. Jones should be celebrated at this point but everyone just craps on him. It's his own fault.

The 1st half of Jon's career should be celebrated. The 2nd half is an absolute mess. Multiple PED infractions. Lethargic /controversial defences, long undisclosed lay off's, avoided Francis avoiding Tom. Magically gone through puberty again for his 2nd HW fight against geriatric Stipe. Countless criminal run ins.

 

[Streeter]

Dudes beat Dustin , Charles and a FW twice.

Bones has the greatest resume ever clearing out the LHW division when it was deep with legends. It's his last fight he can fight who he wants . ISLAM STFU!
