Media Jon Jones : “Tom and I have agreed to wait for the UFC to make their announcements.”

“Tom and I have agreed to wait for the UFC to make their announcements. So legally I can’t really talk about it.”

[TITS]

Cool, now we can stop talking about it until an announcement is made.

Oh, are we following the law now?

 

[Psychojoe86]

Makes sense because Jones is a law abiding citizen.

 

[Tweak896]

UFC was behind the delay the whole time, Jones just took the hate.

So by "announcements" plural I take that to mean one is he's retiring and the second is tom vs gane for the hw belt.

Man. I hate it. But you might be on to something. Hopefully you're wrong.

But I want to talk about the fact that they can't talk about it until an announcement is made !

 

[MMAFanCal]

He means, he has agreed to fight for $70 million so now it is in UFC's hands. Aspinall has to wait.

Jones could be making so much more money and buzz if he knew how to sell a fight. Doesn't need people to like him either.

I had a poorly thought out theory last night, forgive if others have already said it there has been way too many Jones/Tom threads to keep up with.

Jon is saying announcements are coming. Tom one minute says Jon is retired, the next he's got plans and an announcement is coming...

What if the marketing machine caught wind of all this Jon/Tom drama when it first started heating up leading into the Stipe fight, and decided to play into it a while to bolster sales when the announcement is finally made? "Tom, be the squeaky wheel for a bit. Jon, dip, dive, dodge, and duck for a while, we're all going to make more money that way..."

Might be T-totally of base, but so many parts of this situation have felt like a big damn troll job. I don't think it's beyond reason.

 

[Alpha_T83]

The way he says "announcements " plural means more than one. If it was just a fight between Tom and Jon, that's a singular announcement.

Tom didn't wait for shit. He just announced Jones' retirement on Chael and DC'S show.
