Jon Jones declines Stipe fight

This is a clickbait headline

This was Winklejohn saying that he himself doesn't think it's exciting and that Jones only wants to fight for the title because he's #1 p4p.

Jon Jones didn't decline anything nor did he even say anything about this.
 
Different talent pools and they didn't look like shit their last few "wins"

That's just a lie. Randy was knocked out cold before he got a shot at tim
BJ lost to GSP before getting a rematch against Hughes
GSP looked horrible against Hendricks before going up to fight bisping.

Your story doesn't add up...
 
I don't blame him. Randy, BJ, GSP, Conor, pretty much everyone who was champ never had to fight a guy before fighting for the belt in the class above


Why should the guy who has been champ longer than anyone have to fight a contender fight?

idk about you, but at the times, I thought the stories surrounding those three were more compelling. That said, Dana has made it clear that he doesn’t care if Jon comes or goes. After all, the dude hasn’t been a walk in the park to deal with. In Dana’s mind, the juice is not worth the squeeze. If it was, he’d be sucking Jon’s dick like he was doing to Khabib to get him back.

shut up

Jon Jones is one of the greatest fighters of all time....Ali was tough to deal w too. Get these Dana white nutthuggers outta here.

What's the matter with you? How stupid are you? This is the greatest fighter of all time. You'r brainwashed by Dana
 
If Jones is that confident in his abilities, I'm not sure why he's not just fighting and beating the slow, unskilled fighters that make up a lot of the HW division.

That way, he'd knock off the fights on his contract allowing him to renegotiate AND he'd have a record at HW that would allow him to claim the higher salary he wants for any potential title fight.

Either there is something we don't know about, ie a undisclosed injury or suspension or he really isn't that confident in his abilities and doesn't want to risk losing to some overweight middleweight before getting his title shot.
 
Jon was never interested in fighting Stipe, not even when Stipe was the champ.

<JagsKiddingMe>

I suspect if he ever planned at fighting at HW at all then it was probably looking to get a title shot against Stipe after a somewhat lackluster performance even in victory over Cormier in the 3rd ttile fight, Jones announced he was moving up days after that.

Difference is now of course he has far less to gain fighting Stipe and with both Ngannou and Gane around I would say the chances of him getting an easy path to the title are now pretty much over, again I suspect he will never fight again now and will instead spend the next few years constantly talking up potential fights that never happen before retiring.

Maybe the odd chance Dana might offer him good money to fight a lower down HW for decent money and hype it as "Jones HW debut" but really it looks like LHW is closing up behind him as well now with Jiri and Rakic rising.

Well good morning to you! Listen moron, I never said I didn’t want to see Jon fight. All I said was Dana is sick of dealing with the guy, mostly Jon’s own doing.

And why was Ali hard to deal with? We weren’t even alive back then. Shut up lol.
 
Conor is the exception, he actually sells fights.

And it's shit said like this that is why fighters are starting to stand up to Dana. Are you that much up McGregor's ass to believe that Ngannou v Jones wouldn't draw? They'd easily get 700k if Dana didn't do his best to smear both fighters and actually promote
 
I'd love to see Jones fight Stipe.
Anyone else catch what ESPN's Max Kellerman said last weekend?
Basically he asked if Gane now part of a trio of great heavyweights with Francis and J Jones.
I have two questions: why is this non-mma fan on a PPV commentary team? And how did Jones become a great HW without ever fighting there?
Yeah, it would be silly to dismiss his abilities at any weight, but HW very frequently comes down to power. One punch power is not Jon's thing, and he'd would be fighting dudes who have frightening power even before you consider Francis, who has power squared (how do you do supersripts in Sherdog?).
 
Jon is eventually gonna fight

but he's making every single fuckin person want to see him lose

Would love to see Cyril slap that whiny bitch around
 
Funny you say this...I was thinking about the HW picture the other day. Supposedly Ngannou had told the UFC he would fight in September, maybe October. I can't quite remember. But the UFC really wanted him to fight in August, and since he declined they mad the interim title fight between Lewis/Gane when Ngannou won the belt like what...5 months ago.

Now, Gane says he wants to take a few months off for family time, his girl having a baby soon.

Is Dana going to let Gane sit out 5 months or will he just make another interim title belt and really fuck up the division?
Can't wait to see. The HW division seems to be colliding vs Dana.
 
Dana said he could fight the winner of Stipe and Francis. Now we have Lewis - Gane for an interim title, Francis turning down title fights with Lewis, and Jones still waiting to get his shot.

You should get banned for even using Jones name in the same sentence as Ali.

Yeah but this is Sherdog, take your logic and shove it bud.
 
Because they pick and choose who gets something and who doesnt.

Some people dont even get the choice AT ALL even if they are MORE deserving.

Jones also is a huge pain in the ass and doesnt deserve shit. Lucky to have a career still tbh ngl imo
Doesn't deserve shit? Who the fuck are you?
 
He doesn't fight anymore. The Frankie fight flew. And Gane would push his shit back reeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaallllll far.

Jon f*cked up.
