Media Jon Jones on Tom Aspinall being frustrated for being iced out: "Shut your mouth and do what you're told"

[RockyLockridge]

They don't have to announce an interim title fight before stripping the champ.

no they dont but i dont see an advantage to doing so earlier from a business perspective.

I'd like to see the UFC strip him and make aspinall vs gane more than anything.

the reason why they haven't is beyond me. but there is a reason why it's going down like this and only the UFC knows. It's all on them to either move the division along, strip aspinall, or just pay him as much as you would and give him other fights. all options im good with. Jones could just be promoting his fight as well. It's easily the most discussed fight of the last 2 years by far on sherdog and anywhere else.

I'm not going to pretend to know why they haven't stripped jones. but im not going to blame jones for anything yet. it's the UFC that has to do something not him

I do believe they will fight in madison square garden

It would be a great business move because the fans are getting pissed. Imagine how pissed they'll be if this shit goes all the way to November and nothing happens. People will tune out.

@RockyLockridge there was a similar issue I felt in regards with Ronda Rousey in that it became impossible to have an objective conversation about her after she lost to Holm.

You couldn't talk about her accomplishments. It's true even taking Jones reprehensible actions, two faced personallity and cheating, and blatant favoritism over such a long period of time, there is a great fighter under there.

The difference here is probably that most people are just sick of him at this point, and are also fighting back against the "Tom is a nobody and doesn't deserve shit" stuff that his few remaining fans try to shop in here.

Not on my watch motherfucker!!!

 

[BigNick100]

Yes



No.

Next?

imagine thinking Jones is scared? LMAO, thanks for the laughs.

Can you please comment back again so I can laugh at your next post? Thanks

He faced DC twice but cheated so much that he couldn't stop pissing hot for ages. That is now his legacy.

Great, I didn’t know your opinion was so important to Jones?

Newsflash, no one gives a shit what you think his legacy is.

The same goes for you so why do you keep posting? Amazing that some people don't see when they argue against themselves, but I guess it's nice to see that you didn't have anything relevant to say in response.

I'm not the one with 18,499 fucking posts LMAO. You don't know facts, so stop talking like you do.

It's fun to troll the trolls that think their opinion of X fighter matters...You guys fucking cringe for some of the dumb shit you guys say and think on here.

If you can dish it out about X figher sitting behind a keyboard who you will never see in person in your life, then learn to take it when it's thrown back at you, fucking clowns.

Happy I'm not as drawn to mma as I used to be. I'd be hella annoyed by this ducking. Hopefully the fight happens before gta6.

Everything said here is fair. It's not fair to Tom what the UFC is doing but I really dont see why we're blaming jones himself, we already know he's a prick job, but it's not his job to strip himself.

the fans will consume whatever mediorce garbage the ufc throws at them, they'll take it with a smile too.

No one should be defending this situation.


We are getting NO fights out of this.

No Jones v Aspinall. No movement in the div.

Nothing.

 

[HHJ]

Anyone defending it just BAM hit em right in the mouth.

Right. I wish jones would retire , or they would make the fight or Dana would at least clue us folks in on what exactly the problem is. I like jones but this shit is totally absurd and doesn't make any sense to me.

I feel like Dana White might actually be the main problem here. He knows what's going on but he isn't telling us and it's making Tom and Jon look like clowns.

 

[Epsteins Guard]

Yes



No.

Next?

Except... he DID refuse to fight DC at HW after already beating him at LHW (while using his secret sauce) because he said DC had "too many advantages" at HW. That says all you need to know about Jon Jones right there. He's never going to get in the ring with Aspinall or Ngannou.

 

[Mind Mine]

He hasn't fought Gane or Ameida. After that there may have to be some rematches but I don't get what you're saying, you think there should be one last big fight and then what?

Basically Aspinall other than fighting Jones is utterly hopeless at selling a huge fight to casuals. He is irrefutably only known for Jones not fighting him

 

[Boomb]

I just saw a post on an italian IG that Jones retired and said that he doesn’t care if they strip him.

 

[SuperAlly]

Not according to PPV trends

It's very clear what is going on. Jon fights one time a year, he fights at MSG as he has been booked for that the last two years. Jon had some other obligations this spring and summer and said he will return in the fall. Like you said, the fight will happen at MSG in November.

They haven't stripped him because there is no reason to do so now. I am pretty sure if Jon had no intentions to fight again, the UFC would have stripped him and had Tom fight whomever for the vacant title. But Dana is very confident this fight is done and as he said it will be announced soon. So based on that, I am fairly certain that the talk between the UFC and Jones is that he will fight again.

All the twitter stuff between Jon and Tom is all talk to build the fight.

And what happens when June July August September come around with no fight announced and Jonny Meat doesn't get in the octagon? Will you stop sucking him off then? Better yet, will you stop posting then?
