Jon Jones Only Fears One Man.

two men, Ngannu and Aspinal.

What a weird take.

Aspinall is promoted to champ.

Paper champ is not the way.

You can say Jon is the real papper champ. He didn't beat the actual champ and has far less HW wins than Aspinall.

The inability to face DC without steroids indicates he was probably afraid of him to some degree. Playing silly games to avoid fighting Ngannou indicates he was afraid to fight him and now doing the same against Aspinall shows more fear.

I think he's currently afraid of 1 man but has shown cowardly fear toward 3.

Yeah, Jon knows his limitations better than his fans. Jones fans are 100% sure he can beat anyone, but Jones himself is not so irrational. He does not fear Tom in the sense of getting hurt by him, but he fears the loss, and how that will reflect on his career. Jon knows being a guy that barely got by mediocre LHWs, he's not going to do well with serious challenges at HW. It isn't complicated.

Jones knows it is a different ballgame fighting bigger fighters with similar skill levels, and that is a losing proposition even if his fans can't see it; these are challenges he has never faced. A straight comparison of quality of opponents is goofy when one of them was fighting a weight class up, especially HW which has less of a ceiling.

Jones was champ before Tom was interim. At a point, Ngannou was also the linear champ after Jones won the title according to some Sherbros, maybe even you. I get it, there's this hate towards Jones but that doesn't invalidate the fact that he is the real champ.

In terms of logic, there's no paper champ title, Ngannou left as champion, the strap was up for the taking. Was Oliveira the paper champ too when he defeated Chandler after Khabib retirement?

I don't dig Jones btw but lets not construct arguments that are full of fallacies just because fighter X is a dipshit.

Imagine giving ol dirtbag a bunch of credit.

Jon knows the risk that Tom is. I doubt he gives a shit what ol mma dirtbag thinks

Why is Mighty Mouse giving him a platform?

Because MM is secure with himself and doesn't get rustled by MMAGuru's mean words, unlike many SDers.
