Just my opinion.

Jones being stripped of the title is the perfect scenario for him.

He rides this out as long as possible. As long as he is the HW champion, he has an exorbitant amount of opportunities, credit, sponsorship deals, etc. (regardless of whether he's worthy of it or not)

The UFC eventually strips Jones (in a month, a year, 5 years, whatever), and then Jon Jones gets to say "I always planned on fighting Tom but we couldn't reach a deal and the UFC took away that choice." He doesn't have to accept any responsibility, even though everyone knows its total bullshit.

Jones is doing what is best for his financial (and opportunistic) bottom dollar.

I hate it, but hey, kudos.
 
I honestly think Jon Jones is angling for another payday vs Alex Pereira. It's an easy "safe" fight for him and as much as I hate Jon Jones, I'd have to believe that fight would do big PPV numbers. Jon would probably get his $20-30 million payday without having to take the risk of fighting Aspinall.

I say the UFC should strip Jon Jones of the title, add Aspinall vs Gane to UFC 318 main event (if both guys will accept it short notice), and then move the BMF title fight from Poirier/Holloway which no one cares about to Jon Jones vs Alex Pereira @ UFC 323 at MSG.

Jon Jones can still get his fight/payday and he can win the BMF title. People would still buy it.

Are you even a sentient being?

Why do Jon Jones fanboys think that it's financially better to not fight than it is to fight?

Literally the dumbest fanbase on Earth. And thats including K-pop.

1. I hate Jones. Always have.
2. You're actually pretty stupid if you think that a fight purse is the majority stake of where fighters get their income. The slow trickle of sponsorship deals that Jones is holding on to (which is undeclared) is most easily waaaayyyyy more than he'd get for the 1-2 Mill he'd get for a fight, especially since he has A-level connects. Sponsorship deals, and the opportunity to, say, go fight on a Russian TV show, for millions, far outweighs any money he'd generate by fighting, ESPECIALLY, if he loses.
...And no. The UFC will never pay him anywhere near the 30-40 Mill he's asking to fight. So that point is moot.

Millions to star on a Russian version of the ultimate fighter? lmao right.
 
Yeah, because It looks soo much better to be forceably stripped, then to relinquish the belt and retire.
 
In that case give him what he wants and get it over with. That will make his "best life ever" even better.

To be fair, it was a sensible take until the "best for him financially" line. It might be best for Jones's legacy, but certainly not his wallet.

This is exactly what hes doing. He's in the entertainment business and refuses to entertain
 
No shit, Sherlock.

In his mind, if he gets stripped of the Title.

He will justify being a coward. And pretend he hasn’t lost before.

What is wrong with people like you?
 
Jones wants to be stripped and forced into sweaty submission ~thinks the Jones hater/Lover

What has he been making money off the past years?
Legit asking - haven't seen him in anything.
I just remember Nike etc cut ties with him after the past doping scandals.

I was thinking about him losing his Nike deal, and got me wondering how many other UFC fighters had a Nike deal. I can't think of any.
