Rumored Jon Jones to have his loss to Matt Hamill overturned..?

Edit New article written on the matter. Seems like Jon is going to try to appeal the ruling. No guarantees..

Fact Check: Did Jon Jones’ Only Loss Against Matt Hamill Get Overturned After New MMA Rules Debut at UFC Edmonton?

Jon Jones suffered his only loss in UFC due to 12-6 elbow ban which got lifted now. But will his loss be overturned?

Finally, justice is served. It’s a travesty that such a moral, humble, god fearing man like Jon should have his good name and reputation tarnished by a stupid rule.

Crazy if true. But I don’t agree with this. He didn’t follow the rules at the time. Why should the loss be expunged just because the rules have changed a decade + later?

Also, are they willing to remove DQ losses from every player’s record and whenever there’s a rule change or just for Jones?

Gods be praised

Those were the rules at the time.

Who let the retards out of their cages again?

 

[OldBoy91]

Why though?

It WAS a rule at the time he broke it. It should stand.

Does Arnold Allen get his loss to Evloev overturned since he was clearly about to finish him with the knees while Evloev scraped a finger across the canvas?

BULLSHIT HOW DARE YOU. Hammill is THE TRUE LINEAL GOAT.

HE HAD THE GENIUS IDEA OF SMASHING JON'S ELBOW INTO A MILLION PIECES WITH THE BACK OF HIS HEAD.

That kind of creativity is from an earlier era, guys these days are just copycats.


He really said this:






I kind of like that the loss is there though just to annoy all the Jones nut huggers on Sherdog. It's a nice reminder that Jones defeated himself at life. He didn't need any help to ruin his legacy.

The GOAT will never be a guy who was winning fights coked up and on steroids. He will always be the Pete Rose of MMA, I don't even think he belongs in the Hall of Fame.

So all fights will have their outcome examined in regard to new rules each time ? It has to be a joke.

 

[Mammothman]

Justice have been made after so many years!!

As crazy as it sounds, I wouldn't be surprised. Never forget picos

Some of that Dana WHITE privilege i keep hearing about can go a long way

According to who? This tweet? Where's the article or source? This won't and shouldn't happen.

And if it somehow does, that's fucking insane. It'd be probably the most damning proof of commissions being fully in the UFC pocket, because any organizations as unaccountable and nontransparent as commissions are wouldn't dare open themselves up to this kind of precedent, and the bunch of appeals to change fight results based on any past or future rule changes.

That's why I put a question mark at the end of the title. I looked for other sources and couldn't find any. The dude who made the tweet is apparently a 'MMA journalist' so maybe he has some inside information?..or it could be all bullsh!t..

 

[reddhelium]

And everyone who popped for weed will get their original results restored as well?

 

[ocfightfan]

Rules are for people not named Jon Jones.

 

[Pechan]

So everyone that won by kneeing downed opponents or that dude that won will groing strikes are gonna have their wins overturned?

Don't worry, I'm questioning him as a source, not you. Usually a reporter gets at least two sources/confirmations before reporting stuff, and then it's all presented to people in information. This guy's tweet isn't any information, it's just a statement.

 

[deanambrose]

I just want to acknowledge that Jones real record is 1 win (Belfort who was as juiced as JJ) - 28 NC - 1 loss via DQ
This is your goat.

 

[Luthien]

They should give Matt a rematch at the very least!

Now give hamil a heematch
