Surprised I did not see a thread on this earlier. Very reasonable, mature, and eloquent of Paddy. It's painful for anyone with working brain cells to see the UFC not strip Jon. I expect an announcement of him vs Tom with a date or Dana saying Tom will be fighting someone else for the belt. There's zero chance he's that tone deaf to the fans seeing through what he's selling.
 
It’s been said a thousand times over but a guy holding a belt for over 2 years with a single defense (against another non active fighter) and still being noncommittal about fighting the interim champion has no business being champion.

Despite him being a inactive fighter...if Dana announced any kind of Jon Jones fight his ppv will sell slightly north of 1mill. That's why he still gets to hold the belt
 
The only heavyweight title fight worth booking is Jones vs. Aspinall, and stripping Jones does nothing to solve that problem. The best any other HW title fight is going to do is increase beer sales in British pubs. Until that changes or Jones vs. Aspinall actually happens, Jones will be allowed to keep his title without defending it.
 
Dana says he will announce it soon. Tom Jones that is.
 
Makhachev will vacate on his own. He doesn't want to fight Topuria.
 
Jon vacated his LHW belt willingly :rolleyes: Nobody wants to talk about that it seems <bringit>
He only waited 7 months after his last fight to actually do it. Did you not remember that part? Accepted Jan’s challenge, then ducked him in the end. The exact same thing he’s doing right now.

So he can get a “record” that means sweet fuck all.
 
Jon should be stripped, but not because of anything to do with Islam's scenario. The two things are nothing alike.

Jon should be stripped for being a bitch made duck holding onto a paper title in the weakest division in UFC HW history. Thinking his status allows him this behaviour.

Fuck Dana too for allowing it to continue.
