List of Heavyweights Jones ducked

[TerraRayzing]

So Jones said he was going to move up to heavyweight in 2013.
Cain was the champion. Didn't happen. In 2019, when Cain was broken down, Jones became open to a super fight.
Werdum became champion but not for too long. Stipe became champion and Jones once again said he would move up but Prime Stipe so nothing happened. Fight happening now.
Flat out said he didn't want to face DC at HW as he had a high chance of losing.
Ducked Francis for years.
Now ducking Aspinall.

Not really a goat thing to do. Guy really waited over a fucking decade to select the perfect opponent (striker with basic wrestling and not stupid KO power) and now he's gloating.

Oh but he wanted to fight Lesnar.

Look guys, I don't care for JJ's personality or as a person but the works of fiction you guys come up with regarding him "ducking" or "losing fights" he actually won are tired and pathetic at this point.

Nobody has proven they can beat him. Fact. Get over it.

It isn't fiction though to note that Jones has made arguments about why he shouldn't fight certain people. He made statements like that concerning DC (when he was heavyweight), Stipe (when champ first time), and Aspinall. I can look up precise quotes if you want. You don't have to call it ducking, just disinclination or risk/reward calculations or whatever you like. But they sound very much like quacking to many other people.

This is June 2012.

1. Junior dos Santos
2. Cain Velasquez
3. Alistair Overeem
4. Daniel Cormier
5. Fabricio Werdum
6. Frank Mir
7. Josh Barnett
8. Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira
9. Shane Carwin
10. Antonio Silva

Quite the line-up there for Jon. Can you blame him? Honestly Jon can win some of these fights, but he made the right decision for himself and his career staying at LHW. Weird to hate him for that. People will find the most petty shit to hate on someone for they dislike. Oh no, Jon made a good decision for himself.

 

[Tronald Dump]

Fiction? He literally said he didn't want to fight DC at heavyweight because he might lose. And he lost to Dom...everybody knows it, get his dick out of your mouth, Dana will get jealous.

This thread could be made about any champion who fights in a division below HW.

Matt Hamill did ok in ufc vs Jon Jones

 

[KO Shotz]

Jones has never ducked anyone.

But he did lose to Gus & Reyes.

 

[Jose Beehive]

Fedor and GSP both ducked Mighty Mouse, simply weight cut and beat the true GOAT, If Christian Bale can do it for a movie then these guys could for GOAT.

Weak

Yeah, the obsessiveness and parasocial hatred is getting really fucking weird at this point.

Plus one could make this topic about any MMA fighter who moved up late in their career.

I had no idea the other champions below HW had been calling out HW champions for a decade. Crazy!

I mean, Dom did prove he could beat him. He just lacked one key trait that night


Judges in his pocket

 

[Pitier of Fools]

I would have loved to have seen Jones vs. Werdum. Personally, I think Werdum would have beaten Jones stupid.

That would only be true if you ignore a key part of the accusation. Did all those champs specifically say that they were going to move to HW for over a decade

You should be a writer, fiction of course
