Jon Jones is giving us the passing of the torch for a dollar figure. Amazing..

Alright, here I go once again... OK so we can post some stupid worthless bullshit threads that get lost in a sea of bullshit. But when we have something that has actual stakes, SPECIFICALLY in the UFC fights.... it gets buried in "lightweights"? WTF? Y0... Bend, and I may be crazy for thinking this is fucked up? I've been reading threads here for literal decades and this shit is more interesting than 95% of the bullshit posted. I'd like an explanation from the moderator that dunked this thread.... We've had a billion "Who is the blah blah goat" and random bullshit threads... this was going to drop off until the fight, and then gain substance... WTF.. No rationality...

Y0...You want in on this? There is room for more... Let's build some volume to this thread, because I'm fucking bored otherwise with the vanilla shit the UFC is pushing out. Let's make it more interesting again.

I meant I'd take the quoted bet with @Bend NvR Break / you and I are betting on the same result

Okay I'm drinking again and I got an idea. If Aspinall wins, he pays you 500, and he pays me 500... If Jones wins, I pay him 1k and you pay him 250. You got some skin in the game now too. He stands to win more. What say you?, And you too Bend.. although this is only bonus for you so I don't think you'll object. Oh, and if Aspinall loses, Dionysian you have to make a humiliation video too like we do.

Also, I'd like to see this thread get back to the Heavys if the fight gets announced. That'd be preferred. Nobody reads this shit here. How can you humiliate someone if nobody notices?

Oddly nice of you to make it a lighter lift for me but yeah I'd be down.

I missed the part of the humiliation video / what was that about?

Sold! OK, you are in for 250. Let's mark this down. OK, so the loser(s) have to make a video showing themselves and admitting their failure and then probably throw in some stuff the winner asks them to say. Embarrassing or humiliating or whatever.

 

[jakeharris74]

@Bend NvR Break You still with us? I'm a patient man... Get ready to suicide.

 

[jakeharris74]

Also, I'm going to ask again to the Mods. If this fight gets announced and this is a sure thing, can we put this back in the Heavys? And if not, I'd appreciate a thorough explanation as to why not when there are so many trivial and worthless threads rehashing and micro analyzing the stupidest shit over there with no recourse. OK. Back to my weekend..

I'm not sure. I'm not confident in either one winning, I think it's pretty unknown. I wouldn't be surprised if it ended with Aspinall KO'ing JJ in the first round... Like, I'd be shocked in the sense of, "damn... When I started watching UFC here and then in 2012 it seemed like JJ was an invincible machine and I rooted for him to lose, I didn't want him to win given he hadn't a positive energy, and all that stuff"... But he'd keep winning to the point that I just started rooting for him as it just became kinda amazing that no matter what, he just would always win... So yeah, it'd be shocking to know JJ was KO'd... It'd be a "... Wow... That's the end of the biggest MMA reign... Damn..." ...

But also, I wouldn't be surprised if Jon Jones got Aspinall to the ground and TKO'd or submitted him in the first round... I'd be equally "makes sense" with both outcomes.

I wouldn't be surprised either if Jon Jones mixes the grappling with the striking, makes it difficult to Tom Aspinall without shooting for takedowns but relying on striking and offensive grappling striking, then going for the takedown and finishing him in, like, the later rounds...

I'm still kinda inclined for JJ to win tbh. I think JJ values his undefeated record and the way he retires, on top, A LOT... And I don't think he'd trade that to being richer, actually way richer when he is already good enough money wise. I think he is such a competitor in the sense of going to lengths to get a win, that he wouldn't do it... Unless he fully believes he has what it takes to beat Tom Aspinall, and thinks that he'll most likely do it, but also, wants the $ as a perfect retirement or, in the unlikely but possible case he loses, he at least has this $ motivator... Which to him, would imo still be worse than retiring after Stipe and living with the money he already has. He's a competitor, and he knows what he's capable of, so I doubt that simply because he wants to make the most of it as his likely last fight, plus the danger factor, and the # of ppl wanting to see it, that he is going there expecting to lose, rather, to have the perfect outcome and do what, imo, he believes he can, beat up Aspinall.
