Jon Jones Promoting Masterclass With Aspinall

[CombatCyborg]

Jon could shit his pants and someone would say it's a brilliant mindgame, another guy would say he's an alpha who doesn't give a fuck, and a third would say it emphasizes how much of a truly frightening sociopath he is.

Yes I'm sure Jon Jones strategized a long game to appear like a duck and a pussy in order to raise Tom's stock and make him a star. Because that just sounds like something he would do.

Only an uneducated fan would look at Jon Jones record and call him a pussy. I'm sure you are WAY tougher. LOL

Am I the only one who always roots for Jon and will gladly watch him tko this fella

I honestly would love Jones to TKO the shit out of Tom.

I hope you're just fucking with me, for your sake. You're the only person who thought that. Let that sink in.

None of those things mentioned are mutually exclusive.

And Volkanovski got KO'd by Topuria on purpose to set up the big money rematch knowing that Topuria would become a star. Fucking genius 4D chess move by Volk!

You just made up your own little story there about getting KO'd on purpose to compare to someone playing up the heel role to build up a fight. Totally the same thing... Back to checkers.

We both made up stories

I believe Jon Jones has done an incredible job of marketing the fight vs Tom Aspinall by acting like he doesn't want the fight and it's pretty genius. He's created an incredible amount of interest by simply avoiding the idea of fighting Tom.

Call it anti-marketing, reverse promoting whatever but Jon ducking Tom has made Tom into a star. Jon ducking Tom has done more for Tom's popularity and fan support than Tom winning the intern belt did. The more Jon downplays, deflects and avoids Tom - the bigger the fight becomes and people think they see doubt creeping out of Jon. This has made Tom into the people's champion and very marketable, some people don't really know him but they know Jon doesn't want to fight him.

This combination seems to be the recipe for generating fan interest. You can always tell when the casual fans are getting into it on social media because they show up only for stars and storylines. Some people think Jon is scared of Tom and avoiding him, some people think Jon is right about not needing Tom for his legacy, some people think Tom is the uncrowned king now and some people think that Jon still walks through him no matter what. It's a lot of intrigue from a lot of angles that I think will result in a big draw as Jon will finally have a star to headline a card with.

It will be fun to see how this build up unfolds.

You're guving way too much credit to that sociopath

No this wasn't intentional, Jon is too much of a narcissist to want to take this criticism on the chin.
