Media Tom Aspinall ready to move on from Jones fight: "Jon's retired"

[svmr_db]

 

[Söze Aldo]

But Jon just said the UFC is working out a date for him and Tom. If Jon is someone who would tell a lie, it’s going to affect how I judge his moral character.

 

[Fox by the Sea]

man, jon should just fuck off from mma.
this whole shtick is getting tired.

 

[Shaolin Alan]

Thanks for another Jon Jones isn't/might/maybe/gonna announce soon thread

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

Took Tom this long to realize that?

 

[Epsteins Guard]

What is he going to move to? Main event at the Apex against Gane?

Easy. He'll smash everybody in the HW division until some up-and-comer takes him out and makes a name for himself. That's the healthy way of things.

 

[Klippy]

IMO, both are probably milking this for hype. The fight is probably already signed.

Don’t do it Tom. Don’t settle for less with a possible matchup against Cyril Gane. Play the game and wait for Jon’s dumbass. This is Dana and Jon’s game. They’re trying to set you up for failure. You take the fight Cyril that means Jon wins whether you beat him or not, it’s still a loss.

If you play the game longer, the Saudis will lose patience and will offer to buy out your contract and sign you for a 1 fight deal more than all the earnings Dana has paid you in total. Even the Saudis are tired of Dana and Jon.

NO.

Jones killed any possible hype that might have been created.

Who would buy this card? Casuals that don’t even know who Jones, and Aspinall are?

Jones doesn’t have that cachet, right now. In fact he NEVER did. And Aspinall has been on the shelf for a year.

Strip him, and move on.

I’ve felt this way for about 8 months now

At this point its on the UFC, not Jones anymore. Jones is not gonna say, hey i vacate the belt and make 5mio less by nobody giving 2 sh** anymore about my brands and myself. Its on the UFC to take action. Imagine tellîg your boss hey im not doing what you ask anymore, your boss would send your as* packing in less then 2 minutes. But its your boss who has to take action.

 

[icemun]

Im admittedly a Jones mark, but Tom is growing on me.

He needs to do more of this.

Courteously wishes him god bless in his retirement.

A true gentleman

 

[RockyLockridge]

this is the smart way to go about his career, be honest, be genuine, but very gently, very subltly imply that jones is old and cant fight any more. just small sinde, remarks that come across as genuine, like "no one wants to see jones get hurt" "he's given all he can give, there's nothing left for him to give" or "I'd love for jones to wrap the title around the winner of my next fight" anything that implies politely that jones is a past it old man.

that's how to make jones come out.

 

[Poirierfan]

Watching it now. I'm doing this for Tom, if he's reading this he owes me one. I can't stand Chael or DC.

 

[Young Calf Kick]

@Only Here for Attachments get in here and say something clever

 

[nonoob]

Tom shows humanity here, never sinking to Jon's level.

 

[HHJ]

DC and Chael both realize that was a good flex by Tom

 

[Mind Mine]

With all this hype Aspinalll got from Jones not fighting him his first PPV headliner vs Gane or Blaydes might do 450k views. The future never looked so bright
