Rumored Jon Jones vs Tom Aspinall "Verbally AGREED" Too

[Black9]

Via Chael Sonnen so it's not concrete but claims its "insider info" and he DOES work for ESPN/UFC so..
Timeline DOES match up with the meeting Tom Aspinall had and claimed he had "Big news coming"..

Thoughts?

Can we ban using Chael as a source already?

The guy spews so much verbal diarrhea I'm surprised he doesn't do his podcast in a port-a-potty.

The good thing about being someone like Chael is you can say stuff like this and if you're wrong it doesn't damage your credibility because you didn't have any in the first place.

 

[Doughie99]

I call horseshit on that.

 

[TempleoftheDog]

I will NOT believe it is happening, until the cage door gets closed behind them.

I really can’t imagine the UFC paying Jones $30M. As such, I believe that Jones might probably sign for the fight. But I believe he pulls out late. Then retires saying he’s too old to fight a nobody like Aspinall.

He will 100% make sure he gets “the record for holding the HW belt longer than anyone else”. And all it took was spending a cpl years of sitting on the belt doing NOTHING.

Edit.

Added a few words for clarification.

its impossible to listen to, he makes up constant lies and claims fights have been booked that never have and are totally made up on the spot by him. Compulsive liar. There's actually a good youtube video on it called ''Chael Sonnen the king of lies''

How many fights has he said have been booked that never have happened, and it was always amusing when another reporter would ask that fighter in a later interview if he was fighting such and such, and he would have no clue what the reporter is talking about lol.

I would believe Bryce Mitchell that the earth is actually flat before I believe anything that comes out of Sonnen's mouth.

This is really two way outcome, it either happens or it doesn't, and given the way things are going, it's probably more likely to happen since Alex lost.

But I would wait and see before giving any credance to whatever Sonnen is shitting out his mouth.

an announcement about a rumor of a verbal agreement before an announcement of a fight




we're getting to speculation levels that shouldn't even be possible, Joe

 

[Why did you]

I just ran Chael’s claim through AI for analysis. Based on historical data of his ‘insider info,’ the algorithm predicts a 78% chance that this fight actually won’t happen, a 12% chance that Jon Jones fights Stipe again instead, and a 10% chance that Chael is just messing with us for engagement. Science never lies.

 

[Söze Aldo]

If I were Tom, I wouldn't trust anything Dana or Jon verbalize, that's not backed by signed paper.

 

[MrBlackheart]

Chael is someone who can talk for 20 mins without saying anything.

 

[Feaser]

Chael is bad faith as fuck.

 

[tritestill]

Chael makes up stuff and Chael also tells secrets. You never know with him. Guy playing the gimmick.

 

[Young Calf Kick]

Fight not happening confirmed.

The fact he is saying it was agreed to the night before just confirms it's B.S.

Even if Jones secretly wanted to fight Tom, he would have waited to see if Alex won to try and use it as leverage for getting what he wants to fight Tom instead of Alex.

The guy on the couch ... maybe him I could trust.

Chael has far less credibility.

 

[Lycandroid]

if you hooked up Dana and Chael to a polygraph at the same time it would get overloaded and explode.

 

[Dbreiden83080]

He’s not exactly reliable. But I do think this fight is going to happen.

 

[StanTheMan]

If chael says the sky is blue, I'd look outside to check.
