Media !!! Sergio Pettis Tells the Truth about Jones and Tom Aspinall that you haters need to hear!!!

[ChuFye]

You keyboard warriors, basement dwelling, pizza eating, masterbaiting losers finally get told whats what by an actual professional fighter.
John Jones will destroy Tom Aspinall and Yuo lot will turn on Tom and say he was a nobody afterwards.
You lot just back any one and anything that goes against John Jones. What a pathetic existence.

 

[Dana's Conscience]

The thing about Tom is that nobody knows how he is down the stretch.

You can quote me on this when the time comes. Tom is getting beat. John Jones knew and wants to fight tom. He's denial of Tom was just a negotiating tactic like he admitted during the post fight speech.

Hasn’t fought somebody on this level is the most shit reasoning people constantly use. Topuria hadn’t fought anybody on Volk or Holloway’s level. Makhachev hadn’t fought anybody on Oliveira’s level. Not doing something yet doesn’t equal incapable of doing so.

I don’t know if Aspinall beats Jones, but he’s clearly the most deserving contender and deserves his shot. And he ran through the guys that aren’t on that level proving he’s a level above them too.

I've literally made threads arguing something similar. Idk about the actual fight, but yea, the retirement talk has been public negotiation. Dana's ass kissing has been the counter to it.

Stipe fight was about an easy payday. Jon wanted it before taking a riskier fight against Tom. If he lost to Tom, Stipe fight goes away.

One of the oldest tricks in the book and so many haters fell for it

 

[jmboyd24]

I get it, but I'd counter by saying that the Pavlovich and Blaydes that Aspinall walked through would also demolish 42 year old Stipe. I'm not a fanboy or hater of either guy but if I was forced to bet my house on who wins in 2025 between Jones and Aspinall, I'd take Tom with 65% confidence. If it's Jones vs Poatan, I'd say Jones with 75% confidence

You'd be right if Jon and Stipe weren't scheduled before Tom won a pretend championship. If anything, Jon ducked pavlovich by signing for Stpe and not pav. But that isn't true either

 

[jmboyd24]

This is a very valid point, but it could also go either way. Maybe Aspinall has great cardio and a excellent fight IQ - capable of making reads mid fight and adjusting to take advantage. Or maybe he has zero gas tank and loses focus half way through the third round. We don't know. Which is why we need to see the interim HW champ vs the undisputed HW champ

Ah yes, the underperforming younger brother of an (already) underperforming UFC fighter is the definitive authority on this matter.

Insisting on continuing the Stipe fight after the Aspinall/Pavlovich was about the payday. Before then, there wasn't a clear #1 contender so the fight was fine to go ahead with in general.

 

[Marko Polo]

Jon’s caulk suckers are insufferable

Not that's a low blow. come on now.. Pettis brothers are very, very accomplished fighters. Let's not disrespect them here. Just to win an argument.

Also as the interim champ.... They really need to unify the belts.
Its a clown show having 2 champions running around.
If the champ dont have to fight the interim why even bother to have an interim champ?

IMO the first fight a champ should take coming back, its the interim champ.
Unify the belts should be prio 1.

I will in no way shape or form respect Sergio "Coat Tails" Pettis' opinion on literally anything.

I may offer a small apology to my disrespect of Anthony Pettis, but I will re-emphasize my disrespect towards his younger brother.

Agreed.

The INSTANT there is an interim champ, the champion should be legally obligated to unify the title with the interim champ. Dana White should go to prison for refusing to force Aspinall vs Jones and I'm not even joking.

Well thats a bit harsh.
I just find the whole having a active champ and an interim champ to be a clown show.
Didn't Aldo fight for the interim title on the same card Conor fought for the 155 title?
Or do I remember it wrong?

I am just very against having 2 active "champs" in the same division.
Unify that shit no matter what weight class.

 

[misterfurious]

TS, you should use more exclamation points in your thread titles

 

[wrb]

Man Jones is good but so is Tom and who exactly is "near Jon's level" for Tom to fight? Also how would anybody know Tom's level when there is only 7 minutes of video of him fighting total. Jones, who is very smart, has nothing to study and also does not carry the weight as good as Tom and its hard for me to imagine Tom just falling to the ground without recourse. Its not fair for a rising superstar to not have anyone to fight so hopefully they have a plan for Tom as Jones had his time. That being said he is still really good.

Aldo fought for the interim title @ UFC 200, whereas Conor fought against Diaz @ UFC 202.

But that was understandable because Conor wasn't fighting in the 145 pound weight class.
