The UFC should cut Jon Jones...

This is why some of you idiots shouldn’t own a business. This place feels like it’s a bunch of little kids on keyboards. Jones only gets paid when he fights like the other fighters in the ufc, why would you cut a bankable fighter. Emotions should never play into business transactions. Jones is still a draw and has made the ufc over 100 million+ over the years.

You don’t send draws and arguably the best fighter in MMA to a rival company. The ufc would have to contend with losing the best fighter they have on roster and this is an arguable fact that a rival company could make. I think jones going to another org would benefit him , and he could collect more belts but that is a dumb move on the ufc or anyone too cut jones.

They'll never cut him, that's if he actually kills someone or does something that's absolutely unforgivable.

Search his record he lost to Matt Hamill. And if you reread my comment I said almost lost last 2 fights. Yes he did not lose them, but the competition caught up to him, that is clear. You could tell even he was surprised to get the Reyes decision. If he stays champ after Reyes, he knows his days as an unbeatable champ are numbered.

You mean to say he USED to bring in 500K on average. He hasn't done that in over two years and now the UFC gets guaranteed money from the ESPN deal so they are less dependent on particular stars. Not saying Jon isn't a draw or that the UFC doesn't want what he can pull, but at what point is he more trouble than he's worth?

Obviously he hasn't reached that point yet though. I ado agree he will reach it eventually if he keeps escalating his troubles as he has been doing. Hopefully his head gets screwed on a little tighter because he will sabotage his own career if he keeps at it.

Seriously.

Historically he is not a top draw on PPV cards. Rousey, Lesnar, GSP and McGregor, Masvidal, the Diaz bros etc all have had higher draws from being on PPV events.

He hasn't fought in almost 2 years.

He's no wizard on the mic.. he usually comes off as a self entitled asshole except when he's faking contrition.

His last 3 fights have been a travesty.. A blatant illegal knee against Smith, almost losing to Reyes and Santos (both of whom have slid pretty bad since).

He's failed more drug tests than any other fighter currently on the roster.

And his personal life is a PR disaster.

The one thing he has is his W/L record and he's had exactly one recorded finish since 2013 (DC fight being overturned).

Why is the UFC hanging on to him? Let him go fight Brandon Vera again in One FC for a couple hundred grand. Or a million a year in the PFL or he can go beat all the washed up guys he already beat in Bellator.

He's in the top 3 highest paid athletes in the UFC currently and I don't see what value he brings any longer.

Thoughts?

It would be a big gamble - but arguably Dana's biggest win EVER - if Bellator signed him for 2 million a fight or whatever he wanted, and he lost to Nemkov in his first fight.

And based on his current form, it's a real possibility.

Im not trying to clown TS, hes likely a child and just doesn't like Jones on an emotional, gerlings level. Maybe he beat up one of his favorite fighters.

He has no idea about business, prize fighting or cage fighting. Most on the forum don't
 
They wont,though.

If they were gonna do that,they'dve done it already.

Hamill is obv a joke but you dumbasses can’t take it. Santos was a split decision, probably your buddy Sal Tomato was the judge that gave it Santos, you guys both see the sport the same apparently.

There was no indication that was a joke.
Coupled with your seeming lack of knowledge, it sounded very sincere

Yes Matt Hamill beat Jon Jones decisively by DQ.
 
so,you want UFC to cut the current best fighter in the planet
 
If the UFC hasn't cut him by now, they're not going to.
