Media Tom Aspinall not interested in fighting Jon Jones at the white house

[Luthien]

Card will only have American vs American fighters

We can't risk losing at the White House Keeping it real

 

[agibmxmma]

Why would he be interested to begin with? It's in America, in a Patriotic venue, and doesn't do anything pre fight for Aspinal, while he openly says he wants to fight in England next and build his base up along with MMA popularity, within the UK.

Tom will do what he's TOLD

Like you when your boyfriend makes demands.

 

[fzoid4454]

That's quite the ridiculous false analogy you are trying to make LOL

Not sure why you think it's false. Aspinall could have said -

"I'll fight anyone, anywhere. But I'm not going to play his stupid games any more. If Jones signs on the dotted line, I'll be happy to kick his ass, but until he does, we consider him still retired, which includes not commenting on this crap any more."

But instead, he pretty much flat out said he wouldn't even consider fighting him.

Shook. Duck. Terrified.

 

[fzoid4454]

No, he is just being realistic based upon all of Jon Jones bullshit. Make it a race thing if you want.

But he didn't say "Sure, but Jones needs to sign a contract before I'll act like it's real."

Instead, he flat out said he'd refuse to fight him.

Again, I didn't invent the Jones "duck" standard, Sherdog did. This qualifies.

 

[fzoid4454]

Tom wanted to fight Jones keeps retiring, getting arrested saying he doesn't want to fight and then flip flopping.

Toms got a fight signed right now.

So, ducking, right? He said he's "not interested."

 

[krelianx]

If people want to vote for a lettuce leaf that's quite literally incapable of signing laws, executive orders, treaties, etc., or making speeches like State of the Unions, they're free to do so. Should be a quiet 4 years.

If all those things started happening under President Lettuce Leaf anyways though you should have some questions about who's illegally wielding their powers.

It was a hyperbole to illustrate. In case that wasn't obvious.

 

[ElLunico]

If you think Jones will suddenly fight him 1 year from now you're an idiot. Good for Tom

 

[Thy]

He be like "i ain't no chandler maaan"

 

[Chayanne]

Aspinal has already won without fighting, if you as a fighter turn down 30 million then you are afraid of losing

 

[Ghostpepper]

So, if we apply the standard Jones was held to, Aspinall is terrified, shook, and ducking, right?

No, Tom wanted the fight, he lost a year of his prime trying to get the Jones fight. Why would he risk wasting more time. He has zero fear of Jones, Jones would get wrecked, he's slow and old.

 

[fjodor]

Jon Jones needs to be ignored. He just wants attention and won't fight Aspinall anyway.

Please explain in detail how Tom lost a year of his prime?

Or are you seriously trying to suggest they should've fought while Jones was out for a year due to injury?

The problem with your logic is that if one guy strings things along, wastes time, and then ducks the fight...the other guy has a legit REASON to then say "Ha ha nah, fuck you" when the other guy all of a sudden decides he's interested after all.

Tom is just not on a level he can handle Alex Pereira. If Alex comes to him, he'll have solved Ankalaev. I honestly don't think this is going well for Tom. So I think Tom knows it's false hope because it'd likely be either Alex Pereira vs Jon Jones or Alex Pereira vs Ankalaev...

Ppl here think I'm being dumb or wtv but I don't care. I value the insights I've gotten in this time gap more than overall fan hype. And from what I've seen when looking more closely these times, and investing my time on it, vs the 75% feedback / counterargument I get on here, I hold my opinion strongly. It's from genuine belief. Ppl believe whatever they want. I just hope I get to see whether I was right or not... Maybe I'm dying without knowing how things are going to unfold. That'd be a shame....

He didn't say anything of the sort

If you are a retard, sure, think that.

 

[AP_RESURRECTION]

Tom going through all the different stages of grief.

 

[Last Falconry]

if he said anything else I'd be disappointed. no one cares about jon jones. it's never been more over

 

[haj02]

What a duck.
