Luke Thomas' jimmies are BEYOND RUSTLED over Jon's ducking

Tbf, the ducking conversation is the only interesting talking point around this bout, and that's a direct consequence of going ahead with this farcical "title" fight.

So even though I'm gonna watch and not get too wrapped up in the politics of it all, this being the prevailing narrative is 100% Jons/Danas faults
There has been one fight in Jones career he had a choice in really and that was Chael. Every last opponent the UFC picked out. How can you boame Jones when every human imaginable would choose the Stipe fight if in Jones shoes lol? It makes zero sense.
 
Jones is ducking hard and should be called out.

I don't understand this "haha my boy Jon is ducking hard rent free in Luke Thomas head!" flex.

It's embarrassing that Jon isn't taking on the actual interim champ, for him, the division and the sport.

That isn't happening here at all, at least not the reason behind making this thread, so WTF or who are you talking about?

Luke has a sordid history with Jon, and I find it hilarious how worked up he's getting over Jon's shenanigans. I actually find Luke really interesting and somewhat entertaining, especially when he gets really rabid over something.

"YOU WILL NEVER SEE DUCKING OF THIS MAGNITUDE IN YOUR MMA WATCHING LIFETIME...JON HAS MADE DUCKING AN ART FORM...YOU POATAN FANS ARE SO NAIVE..."

Luke is just too sophisticated for the rest of us.
 
I might be off on the timeline, but am I correct in remembering that Luke was one of Jones' biggest coddlers forever, until right around the time Jones had this weird hissy fit on him?

Has Luke been a certified hater ever since?
Yes Luke was Jones biggest defender when all of media dog piled him.

Since then Luke has always been fair to Jon. Giving him credit where it's due and criticism where it's due.

Agree with most of what you're saying but you running the narrative that Lukes opinion of Jon stems from him being bitter is a trash move. Luke gets worked up over alot of things.

He gives Jon credit for the most part and calls Jon out when he fucks up. Fair imo.

Overall Luke is too negative to me. Like, he sees some troll on Twitter saying dumb stuff then he makes a whole ass video about it. I haven't seen anyone claiming Pereira is a tougher fight for Jon than Aspinall. Who is he arguing with?

It's a big topic the entire community of MMA fans are talking about, of course he's covering it. No need to assume it's anything personal.

It's not.

It's probably just people who can't let go of the fact that Jon refused to answer Luke's questions at a presser and need to stick it to Luke. It's immature.

Yeah, I wondered too. My guess it's just YT comments, which is SD shitposting x10 . Or on X I guess.

"Trash move"...dude fuck off, all I said was it "seems personal", which it very well could be, not that I care all that much. I'm not running a fucking "narrative", just posting some entertaining video clips with almost no commentary from myself. You're exactly the type of naive MMA fan he facepalms over.
 
Luke would be sucking off Jones just like Dana does if it wasn't for Jones turning on him at the presser and getting him banned.

Good thing he saw the light then. Never meet your heroes they say.

He seems worked up over the stupidty of his fans. He doesn't seem to be harboring any personal feels towards Jon over this.

You don't know that for a fact though. It's not that big of a deal to me, just a footnote in my OP. Everyone knows Jon is an asshole. Maybe Luke was just being too nice before, now he's putting Jon to the coals. I wouldn't blame him at all if he wanted to make it personal, it's his life, his channel, his opinion, ect. For all the boring long-winded analysis videos he puts out, he does make some pretty funny and on-point comments. When he goes on these crazy diatribes, it's hilarious.
 
If you care about the sport, you should be annoyed too lol. Interim titles are supposed to be the next in line, not whoever the champ wants to fight. We've gotten into a place where greed has gotten beyond out of control, and Alex is the money fight, so that's all that matters apparently. The legitimacy of the sport is not important anymore. People can't be happy being a multi-millionaire with unfathomable amounts of money, it has to be moremoremoremoremoremoremoremoremore

The sport hasn't been legitimate for a long long time if ever really.. I think many are desensitised to it, which makes sense when you consider the parralel notion of enjoying watching people kick fuck out of each other.

You just admitted to calling Lukes take on the situation personal yet im the type of naive MMA fan he facepalms over?

He’s hardly the only one pissed about what’s going on…
3 things are happening here. 1: Jones is clearly ducking and I’d go further and say he’s ducked Ngannou and Pavlovich as well. 2: he’s insulting our intelligence with his bullshit excuses. 3. UFC is facilitating this limp-wristed Nancy behaviour and trying to sell this dogshit to us.

This is the crux of the outrage and what you’re seeing in most intelligent fight fans weighing in on the topic. It’s not personal, it’s just the insanity that has been unfolding since Jones moved to HW. People are frustrated for good reason.

It's the most obvious answer, since he is ragging on Jon's fans and there is no reason for Luke to take this persona,l because it has absolutely nothing to do with Luke. Luke in general also gets too easily worked up by random MMA fans. He also in general does a decent job of not letting his personal opinions on a fighter blend in with his analyses of the fight husiness.

But yeah, Luke has changed his tune about Jon, but that was long ago. This didn't contribute to that change.

Jon ducking is pretty big deal, he's fighting and Luke covers MMA...no wonder why he's making the obvious videos.
