Jones ain't gonna fight Aspinall

Jon has already fought everyone and paid his dues. He's been at the champ lvl for over 14 years. If he wants to take easy legacy building and money fights, he should. He deserves it.
Beating Aspinall does nothing for his brand. You all said Ciryl Gane was the guy to beat him. "He's too fast, he's a much better striker, Jones has trouble with guys like him". Look how that turned out.

Father time is undefeated. Let him fight who he wants.

So you agree then that he should vacate the belt to make space for Aspinall instead of making excuses?
 
He's already pulling the same schtick he did with Francis pricing himself out saying "he'll do it for fuck you money" then he'll claim he was willing to do it when they don't give him 30 million. It's always an angle with Jon constantly trying to control the narrative.

Nobody doubts Jon's greatness. At this point though his chances of beating Aspinall are very low and he himself knows this the most

maybe, but Jon’s fight iq is much higher than Tom’s…very low? nah…

Jones already is at the upper limit of what UFC fighters have earned, ever. Probably only Conor, Brock Lesnar and Khabib ever earned more than him for a single fight. You know no UFC fighter will ever get paid Mayweather money lol. That's a fighter pay issue in general and until they unionize it will never happen. He'll get offered the most amount of money he ever made and still refuse and retire. That's him and his dickriders making excuses, not me

So having the All time great challenge the status quo of the low pay is not to be respected?
I understand people's emotions to Jones.
Be in his shoes right now, UFC has One or perhaps 2 huge fights able to book. Both involve Jones.
There is no limit, Brock forced them to raise the pay cieling...then Conor push it even further. MMA needs fighters to do this.
There is no rule that says "Oh UFC won't pay over 20mil a fight".
Especially the legends.

That's exactly what will happen.

Jones will vacate the belt and we will get Aspinall - Pereira for HW gold.

Jones will then be hoping Pereira wins so he can finally have a reason to avoid Aspinall and face Pereira.

If the champion vacates, the interim champ automatically becomes champ.

Nope, Jon is the champion and undefeated GOAT. Whatever he decides to do is up to him. He's currently fielding his options. He's the one that moves the needle, not Aspinall. He's only holding a belt because of Jon's inactivity.
 
For those who don't expect him to fight Tom what do you think the Tom meant after his meeting with Dana when he said "All success, Big news coming" pared with Hunter and Dana supposedly pointing at him around the time Jon was doing his post win speech.

Imagine being a fan of the sport and making excuses as to why we shouldn't get to see the best fight the best.

imagine thinking a guy with zero title defenses. a guy whos only interim champ is comparable to jon jones. that is not the best vs the best. thats someone with potential vs the best . thats gifting an unearned opportunity to tom and a waste when it comes to the last fights of jons career. ill never say toms not good or that tom couldnt win. but i also will say i think a lot of hws have a shot to beat jon. its hw. hw power. jons not an idiot. he wants the fight to carry weight and add to his accolades if he wins because there is high risk involved fight any HW period. there is no ducking. there is a thought of what fight adds to his legacy the most and tom is nothing right now. he can be great but he is still sitting there with no title defenses. its a timing thing. unfortunate for tom. is what it is.
 
If they can agree on financial terms then Jon fights him. Jon is negotiating, you know where you throw out a large number and agree to meet somewhere in the middle. I think it happens.
 
Everyone acknowledges this, so I think it's about time to move on instead of fuming. Acceptance is the next step.
 
He retires imo. To Jones, money isn’t worth risking his 0 L record. And he knows damn well that it’s at huge risk fighting Tom.

He’s not getting the Pereira fight.

No one thought Gane was going to beat him. Gane lost to a 1 legged Francis.

Most of Jones big wins were against retiring LHW. His other wins were with heavy roiding, and eye pokes.

The only reason he didn't retire in the cage is because of all the ducking allegations. Jones' ego is too big to retire like that. His solution?: Pricing himself out in negotiations to "save face" and have an excuse to present to his staunchest dickriders then ride into the sunset after possibly holding onto his belt for another year. Maybe "injuring" himself in training along the way. Let's face it, this fight ain't never gonna happen

Blah blah.
You must be the same guy who said Jon would never fight again. That Jon will stay retired.

Jon must have beat your favorite fighter and slept with your girl.


Pay Jon what he deserves.
He is the goat. Get over it kid

Maybe injuring himself? Bahahahahha

Fake fans.

I never said any of that. The only thing I said is that Jon doesn't want to fight Aspinall which anyone who isn't guzzling buckets of Jon's loads can easily tell
