Jason Whitlock: The UFC doesn't need Jon Jones as long as they have Conor McGregor.

[Megatronlee]

Yep

 

[ALAN PARTRIDGE]

Racist

 

[essie]

Literally who?

 

[Arm Barbarian]

Agreed

 

[Phisher]

Well, no shit. Jones wasn't ever a real poster boy anyway. He was only technically the biggest draw by default post-GSP and Silva for a few months before Rousey started selling.

BTW Who gives a FUCK about what Jason Whitlock has to say about MMA? This is on the level of Skip Bayless and Stephen A. Smith talking about combat sports on First Take.

 

[Fraser B]

Lol at the UFC needing Jon Jones.

 

[HallmansHammock]

Whitlock is one of the biggest morons in sports. He's a racist piece of hot take spewing trash who loves morning more than the sound of his own voice.


Edit: oh yeah. Fuck that guy.

 

[KTMshredsall]

Jones has never been a draw, even with all the build up with DC he barely broke 800k i believe

For the best fighter ever he sure sucks a dick when it comes to drawing power

 

[YellowBaneno]

Black lives matter

 

[Takamine86]

The priority of the sport of MMA should be to have the best fighters in the world first. If it is all about drawing power, then just get rid of all the fighters and sign some WWE wrestlers and a bunch of other celebrities. Hell, sign Justin Bieber, he would draw more than all of them.

Jones should retire. There is no room for cheaters in MMA. The UFC will carry on without Jones and Mcgregor, when they're gone the spotlight will be on someone else
