Media Jon Jones Back n Forth with Tom Aspinall Completely Dismissing Him - Tom Responds - Newest Update Jones Confirms WILL retire after Stipe fight

[don't ask]

I mean we don't like it as fans, but Jones gets the right to call it when he wants to call it. He's earned that much.

Not at heavyweight, he hasn't.

 

[don't ask]

Tom is so desperate to ride Jon’s coattails. Why don’t prove yourself by actually fighting more contenders.

Jon is so desperate to fake a HW legacy. Why don't you prove yourself by actually fighting more contenders.

 

[whocares]

Jon publicly acknowledged his retirement so the belt already has Tom's name on it, it's just a matter of the days passing by. Tom doesn't need to fight anyone until the UFC is prepared to announce his first defense but I suppose that can't happen until this Jones Stipe exhibition takes place. Sucks for Tom, UFC dumb as fuck per usual, Tom just needs to do what modern champs do and not fight for a while.

 

[jeff7b9]

Yup

The only reason I don't put it is #1 is that I know there was a LONG gap in the boxing Heavyweight Title lineage

I forget who exactly it was, as it was probably around 100 years ago, but I recall a champ that held the belt for something like 3-4 years without defending, and I believe was not stripped, but just lost the title in the fight after that long gap.


It is definitely a brazen case of "pissing on my back and telling me it is raining" for the UFC to actually be on board with such a farce of a fight.

Might as well put Conor in the top 5 if we are at a point where UFC's credibility is given the approximate value of its weight in dog shit.

Lol, 100% with you, it's a total trash fight and a bullshit situation. Fuck Jon and fuck the UFC.

It was a stretch in 2023.
It is a joke in 2024 and an abomination in mid-late 2024, with an interim champ.

 

[James Eagle]

Jones hasn’t beaten anyone better than Pavlovich so his resume is worse tbh. Jones crushed cans in a weak divison. Waited years until frank left then fought a can in gane. Now he wants to fight a 44 year old instead of the interim champ lol. What a Mickey Mouse career..

cans in a weak division?


man, I've heard how retarded the Heavies are, but just WOW

You think Reyes, santos and smith are good fighters?

Smith couldn’t even beat a tiny robber that broke into his house. If they are not cans then who is? He might as well be fighting random plumbers off the street.

His best win is over a fucking middle weight. The best competition he faced wasn’t even from LHW.

His career is fucking weak as piss.

 

[Aurelian]

UFC is giving Micky mouse vibes not stripping Jon.

It's not clear when he'll be back and he's admitted that he's fighting a retired stipe then calling it a day lol.

Make Aspinall the champ.

If they strip Jon he probably never fights again. Therein lies the problem because UFC wants that one last payday. Jon has the UFC in a hostage situation.

I answered you dumb ass, look at his record. LHW was the most stacked division and he destroyed them all. you are retarded if you think otherwise

I've seen his record and broke it down. It's garbage. He vsd cans. His best win is over a middle weight. One of the fighters he vsd couldn't even beat a home invader.

Yea that run at LHW was legendary, But lets not downplay and forget this guy is a multiple time cheat who has been caught more than ONCE. Imagine if Brady or Jordan got caught multiple times using the juice, historians would def not talk about them the same way as they do now.

 

[quebert]

Not at heavyweight, he hasn't.

He's arguably the GOAT, an up-and-comer in Khamzat who hasn't proven much of anything still might get a title shot in a division he's only had a single fight in. And it was against a guy who'd never fought in that division. And Khamzat didn't even do much at his prior weight class.

Fighters like Bones & Mighty Mouse should be able to do what they want because of their greatness. Also it would look terrible for Tom & the UFC if an old and about to retire fighter beat him. Imagine the #1 guy losing to Jones in just over 2 minutes. All without Jones taking zero damage - that actually happened 10 months ago.

Now, imagine that happening again to the newer interim champ, which it could, easily. Tom's not proven and Bones is the GOAT. Gane was the 2nd greatest HW before Bones embarrassed him. Then all of a sudden the spin from Sherdoggers was "well, Gane sucks at grappling, he was basically a cherry picked opponent for Jon" He was literally the #1 guy in the division. And somehow I'm supposed to just go along with he was the easiest fight for Jon. If the #1 guy was an easy fight that either says a whole lot of great about Jon's abilities or a whole lot of bad about how shitty the division is. If Jon beat Tom UFC might as well just shut down the HW division, because according to SDers Tom's the second coming.

Jones was scared to fight at HW and would never actually do it - I read it here all the time for years.
Then he fought HW and beat the best fighter, who pre fight was going to maul him with his world class kick boxing. And what was the consensus here?
"Jones was scared of Francis and waited for him to be gone" When Francis was the one who left UFC. lol

And if Jon actually fought Tom and beat him, the weirdos here would just say "Well he never fought Sergi because he know's he'd lose" When Jones Vs Miocic was announced Tom was nobody. And when Tom fought Sergi nobody really gave him a shot, now all of a sudden he's the greatest HW of the past decade. And no disrespect to Sergi, but outside of 2 fights his record's full of nobodies. His 2nd best win is 14-6, his 3rd best win is 27-12.

Smith was the worst win of his entire career.

Reyes was undefeated, Santos was a monster at LHW.

It saddens me that we don't appreciate the greatest fighter in human history. Why are you a hater? Why?

 

[Oldman1]

Is Stipe is his last fight, just strip him ffs

This is the thing that people gloss over. If Jones beats Aspinall and its not a controversial decision or anything(its HW it won't be) the Jones haters will abandon Aspinall immediately and act like he was a can. Stipe old as he might be is still Stipe.

 

[don't ask]

Gane was the 2nd greatest HW before Bones embarrassed him. Then all of a sudden the spin from Sherdoggers was "well, Gane sucks at grappling, he was basically a cherry picked opponent for Jon"

This is just a lie. There was no shortage of people pointing out there couldn't be a more handpicked opponent for Jones than Gane.

Your entire post is extremely dishonest and stupid. Jones' entire HW presence is so heavily manipulated that there are literally only one or two fighters he's willing to face and one of them has to come out of retirement, first. Jones is accused of ducking fighters because he's ducking fighters.

 

[tastaylvr]

Smith was the worst win of his entire career.

Reyes was undefeated, Santos was a monster at LHW.

It saddens me that we don't appreciate the greatest fighter in human history. Why are you a hater? Why?

Reyes is 0 - 4 after jones lol

Santos is 1 - 6

Smith can’t even beat non fighters

What about osp? He had like 10 losses after that as well

What about gustaf? More losses and lost to ducking smith lol

All these guys are journey man rofl

They all had padded stats to feed jones and were exposed as cans. All of them also did better against jones than they did in their next losses. Only a fucking homer would think his run has been legendary.

It’s actually fucking amazing how easy he has had it with the ufc feeding him such easy opponents. He is an industry plant
