News UFC rival Daniel Cormier wants Jon Jones removed from ‘Best Fighter’ ESPY Award

[Neck&Neck]

BMF is the only thing that matters
DC should prob get some therapy on this issue with BigBones though

 

[markg171]

I have to agree, one fight in 3-4 years and he gets that award? Gane was an easy fight if we’re being honest.

Hes absolutely right. One win in 3 years doesn't make you fighter of the year

What does what Jon didn't do in 2021 have to do with what Jon did in 2023?

You guys seem to be confused with what years are.

"You gotta think of the storylines[...]"

But do you actually ?

More seriously I think the best comeback thing is a no-brainer, even DC will admit that ; then, regarding the best fighter, I guess it's debatable depending on the criteria you choose, but Islam have extremely solid arguments, he probably had the more impressive last 12 months between the 2.

 

[WT3]

He makes a good point don't think he is being a hater here.

jon is easily the espy winner.he is doing what no other fighter has done before

 

[Number 8]

Jon ruined his life

Gane was an easy fight after Jones made it look easy. Prior to the fight Gane was going to crush Jon worse than Francis.

Randy couture and Daniel Cormer did it

 

[koquerelle]

JBJ made DC cry in the ring. Of course the fat fuck is salty.

[Guy LeDouche]

…And people were chastising me recently saying DC wasn’t being a salty bitch about Jones
The man is full of sodium

 

[sonhow]

ESPY to Jones
Emmy to Aljo

Newly-crowned UFC heavyweight champion Jon Jones, who strangled top contender Ciryl Gane into submission at UFC 285 to secure the strap back in March, was recently nominated for two ESPY awards, including Best Comeback Athlete and Best UFC Fighter.

“I just don’t know if one fight in the year against Ciryl Gane puts you in that position,” Cormier said on his ESPN show “DC & RC” (transcribed by MMA Junkie). “And that’s no knock on Ciryl. It was just one fight. You gotta think of the storylines that follow these other athletes. From (Islam) Makhachev beating [Charles Oliveira] to win the belt, from Makhachev beating Alexander Volkanovski.”

DC salty, but when top fighters only fight once or twice a year it is really hard for these sort of things.

Time for DC to be professional and let it go.

The Scottie Pippen of MMA.

 

[HeffDoesWant]

It tarnishes the sport to promote the most profilic drug cheat in the sports history as the best anything.

Further, extending Ganes losing streak no matter how quickly isn't enough as a stand alone achievement to merit such an award even if you ignore the roids.

 

[gracie_barra_samurai]

It's Islam. Even Volk is more deserving despite the loss.

Jon took years of prep to beat a kickboxer in 30 seconds.

 

[HHJ]

Time for DC to be professional and let it go.

Time for Jones to be professional and not do roids,oh wait too late.

 

[blackheart]

JBJ made DC cry in the ring. Of course the fat fuck is salty.

Jones has failed enough drug tests to warrant at least 3 lifetime bans. They literally had to change the USADA rules for him to avoid that.

 

[HHJ]

hey Jones if you snitch,we will let you fight again

:: people somehow being ok w that ::
