What if Jones was injured like Arman the day before the fight?

[TimeToTrain]

It’s fair to say that Arman has to wait in line again to fight other opponents for title contention, but would Dana give this same treatment to Jones if Jones was injured the day before the main event?

I’d say hell no. The entire PPV would either be postponed/cancelled, or Jones would be replaced by another opponent like DC vs Anderson Silva at UFC 200 which by the way Silva was highly respected for doing that.

Just wanted to point out how privilege works and is centered around specific fighters.

ur saying nothing really, jones is one the GOATS, two divisions champion, the face of MMA

arman is a contender

 

[Ivancho]

different treatment because jones is a big name, arman in the other hand is just another contender

Maybe Dana had info that Arman either knew he wouldn't show up earlier but didn't say it and wasted everybody's time, or he figured that Arman got injured trying to impress Nina or something like that and he just got pissed at that.
Either way, we know the cash cows are treated differently, just look at Conor the Rapist vs a guy who had a rape joke and was fired immediately.

a contender that earned it..he earned it more than granting Jones a match with a 42 year old Stipe who hasn’t fought in over 3 years from a KO loss against Francis. This is another point. They want Jones to be the face of MMA by facing opponents they know he can beat, guys that are older. Have him face a younger Tom and his face will be diminished.

jones has blown way more ppv mains with either refusing to fight (chael) or testing positive for roids (DC)... and the Gus 2 fight had to be moved to a different venue because he tested positive.

Yet dana still glazes him. Although i think thats changing because of his ridiculous asking price for the Aspinall fight.

Both Conor and Jon's timely returns seem influenced by USADA's replacement.

Re-introducing the old gloves permanently a few days before the Stipe match was a classic last minute "You gotta be kidding me, right?" moment and I believe Jon only wanted to fight at MSG which limited to when the fight could happen.

Imagine thinking those two situations are anything alike lol.

Jones is a legend and current title holder. Being a piece of shit doesn't change those things. Arman is a good fighter,.Thiago alves level right now. He is going to more then likely be forgotten except by hardcores.

Jones is undefeated in the UFC going on 20 years Arman is nothing compared to Mr Bones

Privilege? are you retarded? Jones has been with the company for ~17 years and is an undefeated and long time champion. He's also the A-side of any fight. Yes, the UFC are going to move heaven and earth to accommodate a fighter who has a lot of value to the company. What a thought!
And, you know, it helps that I haven't seen Jones do dumb shit like twerking his back and doing 360's on his head right before the fight.

Considerations to be made (while being an established Champion + ATG GOAT) are different from considerations to be made (while being a nondescript, previously-failed "contender")

You forgot to add that Bones likely has Dana by the balls and can pretty much do what he wants
