He pretty much confirms he's retiring after this fight.
I hope Stipe wins, he actually sounds like he might at least give Tom a chance to become undisputed.
A part of Jon's tweet reads 'Your boy Bones Jones over here ...' .
You were NEVER my boy Jones.
At this point Tom would do better to start marketing himself as the guy that scared Jones from the division/into retirement.He pretty much confirms he's retiring after this fight.

To be fair, Jones is in a spot where any loss hurts his legacy more than whatever Aspinall or other HW's could add, Stipe has his share of loses already, whats one more KO to him.
Unsure why he even wants the Stipe fight. It doesn't really do anything for him. Maybe one last payday? One last hurrah?If a fighter finds themselves in that situation, they've "stuck around too long". He's holding up the division at this point.
Translation- "No way In hell I'm fighting a big, young, hungry, athletic generational talent like Aspinall who will put me to bed inside a round. That will be horrible for my legacy I won't shut up about.
I'm taking out arthritic old man Stipe who can barely walk without his cane. Calling myself the HW GOAT, then peacing out."
You're forgetting how insecure Jon is. He jumps into every twitter thread where any no name claims somebody other than him is the GOAT.Unsure why he even wants the Stipe fight. It doesn't really do anything for him. Maybe one last payday? One last hurrah?
