His late career is a joke. The more he tries to protect his legacy by fighting retired has-beens, the more he loses credibility because he can't face the best fighters of today. Moving up to HW was a mistake, not only did it not help his legacy, it made it worse. Agree, disagree?

Exactly. He’s done a lot of damage to his legacy in the last few years. What better way to prove you and I wrong than to go and beat the unworthy Tom Aspinall. Instead he tries to gaslight the fans like he does his wife, into believing Tom is invalid as a challenger. If there was any doubt about who is the GOAT, I mean look at Fedor fighting Bader at like 50 yrs old. That’s the mentality of a GOAT. If Jon fought Tom and lost it would mean more for his legacy than him not fighting at all.
 
His legacy is just fine, fans just need something to complain about right now.
I think fans have plenty to complain about as far as the current era of UFC is concerned .
And please don't start with how many cards there are. There's definitely a quantity over quality issue .
 
It doesn't really make it worse but he certainly continues to piss people off by continuing to playing these stupid reindeer games.
 
Hurts now but in 100 years probably helps unfortunately

I’ll always prefer the Randy Couture retirement plan - fight whoever tf they put in front of you until some young whipper snapper knocks your teeth out with a flying crane kick then retire
 
It would’ve been cool if he stayed active at LHW, defending all challengers, without taking the long hiatus. It seems pretty obvious now, he’s not feeling brave at HW. No courage to be had.
 
Jones is the LHW GOAT but his run at HW nothing but a farce and will be remembered as such

Using LHW champ glory as a flex to avoid fighting Tom at HW makes him look like even more of a joke

Not sure about that. If he didn't make the move to HW, then his decade of teasing the move up and calling it an inevitability would remain fodder for an eternal mocking point.
