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

Well yeah. That's how it works when time passes and we have more information. We learned that Gane can't grapple and doesn't take it seriously against Francis. We also knew that Stipe was coming out of retirement for a massive paycheck.
The Stipe beaten by Ngannou was a broken old man with no knees and no hope of winning an MMA fight against a vaguely competent and not similarly broken fighter, just like the Stipe beaten by Jones. He's the Stipe who barely beat a 40 year old wrestler coming off of back surgery who moved like a beached whale while allowing the wrestling beached whale to shatter the record for most significant strikes landed in any UFC heavyweight fight (in under four rounds!).

The Stipe coming off the Cormier trilogy was a geriatric mess who never should have had a fight sanctioned. Title aside, he was every bit as useless an opponent for Ngannou as he was for Jones.
 
Calling it, last act by Jones:

'Agree' to a fight date, have Tom train for another few months, then pull out with an 'injury' and retire.
 
Calling it now, it's Jones. I know he said Jon is retired, but Jon's sudden shift on this topic has me feeling like we're close to an announcement.

Wishful thinking? Yes. Yes it is.
 
It took a long time, I would have made this decision a few months ago according to the thread I created.
Unfortunately Tom is a bit of a fool...



 
Tom vs Gane
Volkov vs Jailton

Abu-Dhabi in OCT. Winners fight next Spring. RIP Jones.

It would be great if this was all just bullshit back and forth will they wont they games in media but behind scenes the shits done and UFC is waiting to announce during int fight week with a big surprise press conference.

Tom's under contract and had no say. He's been saying that he wanted to fight anyone else for a while now.

Lol no. The Stipe Ngannou beat was 38 and had fought within the last 6 months. The Stipe Jones fought was 42 and essentially called up from retirement, as he hadn't fought at all the previous 3+ years.

Historical revisionism doesn't fly around these parts.
 
Judging by the way Chael & DC acted its like the fight is announced and they just wanna keep it a secret
 
Tom's married with children and Jon isn't married, but I know what you're saying. Lol
Damn, I messed that one up. I thought Jon was the one married to his partner while Tom and his baby momma were unmarried.

Oh well. At least Tom’s kids don’t have to call the cops because he’s beating their mother. A true man of god, Jon is…
 
God bless Stipe, great dude and helluva career.

But I need a translator. What did he say? I caught "make your way" I think but the rest is unintelligible.
 
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

Damn.

So you're saying that Aspinall vs Blaydes or Gane will pull as many PPVs as Jones versus established stars like Belfort or Shogun?

That's actually really impressive. Imagine how many PPVs he'd sell if Jones wasn't afraid to fight. The fight could be huge!

Too bad Jones is being a little bitch about it. Oh well, I'm sure he's getting paid mega-rubles for his Russian TV shows <lmao><lmao><lmao>

True that, Tom is married with 3 sons ( Surprised me too). Jon on the other hand is gay while pretending to be straight, smh.
