Media Tom Aspinall: "I RETIRED Jon Jones W/O Even Fighting Him" - "Holding Belt Hostage"

[Black9]

He has to go in on Jones to needle his ego.

Will this fight ever happen?

 

[Istryker]

Anthony Smith is almost complete with his transformation into Sloth from goonies.

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

Whatever helps you sleep at night, Tommy Boy

 

[Conor Strickland]

He's just not that into you, Tom

 

[HNIC215]

 

[Sonny Qc]

Fck yeah he did.

 

[Gamer007]

The PPV buys for UFC 304 must've been awful, Tom is getting desperate now.


Tom comes off as a cool and humble guy, but I fear he's slowly descending down that Reyes path. Too many people are kissing his ass and building his ego, he needs to keep working if he wants to have some staying power in this sport.

 

[Bork Neslar]

I like this guy's attitude. He's ambitious.

 

[deadshot138]

He looks like an enemy soldier from Goldeneye 64

Edit: found him

He started out one or two chromosomes away anyway lol.

 

[Zanmato]

Jones has spent years coasting and plotting his legacy, attacking his ego and the idea that he has any legitimacy in the division is all he can really do to try to pull this fight out of the bag, I don't think it will work as Jones is not at a point in his career where he is looking for a legitimate challenge, but he's playing the game well

Legit lol

You're a 260-pound HW in his prime. Jones is a career LHW with one HW fight who's looked out of his prime for the last 6 years or so (maybe the Gane fight was an exception, but it was too short to judge how Jones would do in a tough HW fight).

I know people hate Jones but this is a weak flex.

Tell Jon to give up that paper championship then, He's supposedly the best Hw in the world but he didn't fight frank and he's seemingly not fighting Tom either.

Like wtf? This is ridiculous

He's just trying to bait Jon into a money fight bc being nice didn't work so now he's trying to attack his ego which won't work imo.

 

[GraafschapDTCNL]

It is true, because Jon rather fights Stipe who turned 42 today for his 'legacy'.

Why cant UFC and the combat world in general just take the moment as it is? There are better alternatives for the Stipe fight so lets go with that.
If me and the boys from my village form a team and go against Brazil 1970 and beat them, I wont claim we are better football players if we win, you know...

Cant knock Aspinall for really going for this fight though considering Jon is holding up the belt and is an all time great.

He'd get good money off it too.

Its the HW fight to make right now [Aspinall vs Jones].
So respect to Tom for really calling Jon out on his bullshit

 

[PurpleStorm]

Some haters are gonna read the headline and add kidnapping to the list of charges.

Let's not pretend that Jones didn't take advantage of match-ups against past-their-prime middleweights who came up to LHW.

Jones is a world-class talent, no doubt, but he took out quite a few big-name guys who were undersized and on their way out.

So, ya know, what goes around comes around.
