When should Dana strip Jon Jones from his HW title?

[Feaser]

What amount does Sherdog think would fairly compensate Jones for risking his legacy given that he’s likely past his prime and Aspinall is much younger?

I think $10 mil + PPV oughta do it.

 

[Young Calf Kick]

People taking Jones’ side on here are just miserable contrarians trying to troll at this point. Tragic group of semi-grown up children lmao

 

[Evbo]

They should tell Jon he needs to agree to the Tom fight if he says no or tries to delay then strip him

I'm convinced that's what Jones wants. People with his sort of disordered personality LOVE it when people remove responsibility from them, that way he can say he never lost it, the people in charge took it away

 

[svmr_db]

I think they are still trying to negotiate with Jones to make the fight for international fight week. If he declines to do it for that date & he's not injured then strip him.

 

[DoubleTrouble]

If Jones is scared of Tom fair enough...he already showed he was shit scared of Francis.

He shouldn't hold the belt hostage if that is the case and Dana should strip him immediately then try and make Francis vs Aspinall for the real HW championship.

 

[Pequeño Corey]

I feel bad for Tom, but I want to see AP beat Uncle chin strap and fight Jon. It’s just a fan boy pipe dream. For selfish reasons, my answer is; strip Jon immediately if Alex loses this weekend. Otherwise, Jon doesn’t get stripped and defenda against Alex next.

UFC need to make a decision ASAP, no more time wasted please. I just want to see the actual fights, and I can speak for everyone else here as well, thats what we all want. So bored and tired of UFC HW belt, there is always some problem, we barely get any HW title fights, always some issue going all the way back to Randy with his legal fight with UFC and Cain being constantly injured. Its just been cursed since then, we get a UFC HW title fight like once every 2 years, its just so lame and boring.

Bro Dana should pay the man, what 30 mil, give him 10 official and 20 under the table, or fucking strip him now, if he doesnt wont to pay.

well as of right now if he retires... he goes out on a legacy of elder abuse

....10m would be good tho

 

[Ginja_Ninja]

I voted for strip him now but I'd prefer give him a 2 week ultimatum.

Here's a contract for 317, sign it by next Friday or pass in your belt.

and at this point in time I don't really care which one just hurry up and move on.

 

[Joshua Judd]

My inner schizo says that they’ll pay aspinall to say he’s hurt and vacate and then they’ll do Poatan vs Jones.

This is the answer and the best fight the UFC can make for International Fight Week. It gives both guys 4 months from today to get camps in order and get training. There is really no excuse to not have this fight by the end of June. By that time all the other titles will have been defended except the Women's Bantamweight Title for some odd reason. I know Jones fans will defend him but how much time do we need to wait after the ghost of Stipe?

 

[AMAZINGUFC]

Looks like it's going to happen with Aspinall. Jones just doesn't want to risk fighting him for whatever reason.

Should Dana strip Jones from the title now or wait another couple months?

At most by the summer for Dana.

For me, NOW !!

Dana White Open To Stripping Of Jon Jones Of Title If Tom Aspinall Fight Not Booked By The Summer

UFC CEO, Dana White has admitted he is open to the option of stripping current heavyweight champion, Jon Jones of his title if the Rochester native is not at

[tgv976]

He should be stripped now. But the UFC will give him what he wants and if Alex wins, that's the most likely matchup before he goes off into retirement. They're not gonna force his hand when he's still one of their best draws.

 

[LEWIS540]

Keep it on him until Aspinall loses, imo.
Then we can say Aspinall was never worthy.
Then defend it against Perreira or Blaydes.
Retire as the GOAT.

 

[Nobru]

I dont even know why he has it

All he did was beating gane in that weird (to say the lea$t) fight

 

[Lee Danger]

Strip the interim champ first as Jon has defended more recently than him.

lol, this doesn't make any sense at all.

the interim champ isn't supposed to defend his belt while the undisputed champ is active (if it's not the case the interim title automatically becomes the undisputed one); the undisputed champ MUST immediatly defend against the interim champion in order to unificate the belts.

As the interim champ Aspinall isn't only the 1 contender, he's on a different level and the first, no matter what, to fight the new undisputed champion.

 

[deanambrose]

They should strip Pico when he openly admits that he won't fight Tom.
Then there should be official face to face during PPV inside octagon that will show Jones giving belt to Tom and kneel before him.

What's the point? Tom is considered by many to be the real champ already, so why not defend that "real" belt?
