And there's the real reason considering his dad is his coach and likewise isn't getting paid while Tom doesn't fight
 
Who knows what is really holding things up. From the outside looking in it sounds as if the fighters themselves are good and everything is taking care of on that end. It really sounds like a date is what is holding things up.

We all know the UFC just doesn't show up to any city or country without rewards being paid for PPV events. I'm wondering if they are leveraging a few dates against each other to maximize the payout. We know Jones and probably the UFC would love to do this in Madison Square Gardens in Nov., Tom and fans probably not so much.

While this scenario could be plausible, I don't think it works out with the timing. The earliest were gonna see Ankalev/Poatan is August. There is no PPV that is slated yet for August, but I think the other more likely scenario is Oct in Abu Dhabi.

Either way, I don't think the timing works out for MSG in November and I am 99% sure that is the event Jon is gunning for to fight on. I dont think Perreira turns around that fast for MSG and I don't know if Jon would take it that quickly. And I think the UFC need more time to promote and negotiate the fight. Aug to Nov turn around is too short.

And I think that is also the hold up for Aspinal/Jones. I am pretty certain they want this fight for Nov at MSG. Which was exactly the same scenario we had with Stipe/Jones two years in a row. The fight was talked about for months both years, and then thye announced it in the summer for MSG.

I hope so. I'd much rather Pereira/Ankalaev be pushed back to the Fall for this exact reason.

We can only hope that Jones agrees to fight Aspinall @ MSG. I guess we just have to wait.

They need some reverse pressure. Like if Ngannou says, "I've got some Saudis interested in me vs Aspinall" even if it's just boxing, or PFL goes, "We're not tampering or anything but we're very interested in when Aspinall's contract is up so we can put the 2 best HW's on the planet against each other."

Would be nice but UFC contracts would prevent Aspinall from doing that. I also doubt Tom Aspinall is interested in leaving the UFC. I don't even think he cares that much if he fights Jon Jones. He just wants to fight for the undisputed title, whether it's vacant or not.
 
Yeah, no, he should just fight someone else...Did Benavidez sit around waiting for Canelo? ...Aspinall should take notes.
 
It's the most blatant ducking since Tito and Chuck. And everyone knows it. Sucks but there isn't much Aspinall can do but bitch about it. And of course the Jones fans think he shouldn't complain. GTFO, he's cleared the division and the champ is spending multiple years ducking him. Of course he's fucking mad lol. Who WOULDN'T be.

I swear you guys always want pro fighters to act in a way you'd call anyone else a bitch for acting. Hurr durr he should just shut up and lick the ufcs butthole. Yeah ok bud says a lot about you if you think a man should live that way.
 
Like has been said, JJ isn't ducking the fight. He has accepted it. Negotiations are holding up. And it has also to do with Aspinall's healthy problems. Recently, Aspinall opened up, saying that in retrospect, it's for the best he hasn't fought for this time, since his last win, since he as started to realize he is getting sick, with constant virus infections, skin problems, coughs, and feeling more tired than usual. Basically, in his last YouTube video, he explained that he was having some healthy issues and then, they did a full body scan of his...

... And found out some really weird things. Basically, Aspinall showed the papers of his test, and it's been said he has been consuming around 3,000 calories of food per day... All while, the body scan, blood tests and metabolism check up, also verified he only when sleeping, consumes around 3,000 calories per night.

So, he has shown his weight, which is ~ 255 lb ... He also has a ~ 12% fat percentage, and ~ 52% of his body weight is muscle mass. Which doesn't make sense when according to the check up, he had been consuming 3,000 k/cal all while spending roughly this amount just sleeping... Basically, he'd have to be weighing wayyyy less than he is, as Aspinall said he would need to be eating ~7,000 k/cal of food for that to make sense. And then Aspinall said "but it's good we have found it out. I've been doing things the wrong way, so... It's time to do things right"




So... There's just a very big red flag on it all, like, the fact Aspinall could keep this frame with 12% body fat all while under eating so much....

There you have it... What you fans think it's true due to your easy to be manipulated minde due to social media hype might not always be what you wish it is...

I think he will, it's just all building anticipation now. And I think the UFC and Jones want this fight for MSG in November. It's no coincidence that Jon's last two scheduled fights were in MSG.

Logically, I just don't see why Jon would keep this going if he had no intentions to fight again.

Go specifically for the minute 7 (7 minutes and 20 seconds) for the specific part that has highlighted the real issue for the fight not happening....
 
Tom should print out a ton of missing person posters with Jon’s picture and “Have you seen this Man?” “Wanted for title fight”
Plaster those all over Vegas
 
It's kinda weird because Tom Aspinall highlighted the Jean Silva vs Bryce Mitchell fight as "the one we have been waiting the most". And he said "unfortunately, Bryce Mitchell lost consciousness...". ... Unbelievable left hook and then a ninja choke on a high pressure situation, props to Jean Silva, killer instinct:



Was he rooting for Bryce Mitchell?

And the way he posted some shorts recently... I dunno, but it almost felt like he is saying "it's going to be over for me soon". Idk... But I don't think Tom has been well...

"It's bad Tom's dad wants his son to make money fighting the champion."
"Omg Jon is such a CHAD holding up a division for two years to negotiate more money yumyumyum right in my mouth"

You jones marks are the worst lmao

"Ha, imagine, Tom's dad wants his son to make money. Selfish fuck. I hope Jon's cocaine dealer isn't busy we wouldn't want Jon to get cranky and not fight for another three years."

Guy wants his kid, who he thinks is world champion material to fight the world champion and attempt to achieve his dream.

The so called champion is ducking him like the plague. Pathetic.
 
Maybe if pops didn’t pass on genes that made Tom look like he took a frying pan to the face every morning, he’d have the fight by now.

Either take another fight or stop whining so much.
