Why the UFC is letting jon jones hold on to HW belt

[Ube]

Because the average person has no idea what a Topiria is, what a DDP is, whether we’re talking about Islam the religion, can’t picture who Ankalaev is, so on and so forth.

The UFC had a boom from like 2013-2018 and now there’s fucking no star other than Jones who won’t be around for much longer lol

dana probably afraid jon jones is a future benoit/oj and doesn't want to be blamed for pushing him over the edge

Except Jon Jones was never a huge draw.

That's the truth MB.

Duck Jones couldn't draw a female inmate with a fistful of pardons.

IMO he never fights a real HW again."

Duck never would have without Dana's promised Gift of Gane, Duck hasn't since and never will again.​

They're leveraging the big money fights they have to negotiate their broadcast deal.
Maybe this is a hot take, but I believe we see some really big fights after they first secure a deal.
Topuria/Islam (assuming they both win), Jones/Aspinall (assuming Jones fights...I think he won't), the possible return of simultaneous double champ status (doubtful, but possible)

Except Jon already has gone unbeaten longer than Fedor.

Hence why I asked if if you failed math.

This is just a joke

He is the biggest draw in the ufc right now outside of Alex and Connor. And Connor is also retired.

It's sheer incompetence. Take a look at the UFC these days. it ain't just the Jones bullshit.

Maybe Dana is letting this kind of shit happen because he's distracted by Boxing and Power Slap and too many things at the same time.

The UFC is living on the past, they rely on past superstars because the new stars can't fill an entire arena.
