The problem is there’s just no story line to it, there’s no rivalry attached. You look at all the best selling fights there’s a narrative behind it, an intense rivalry. Jones v Poatan is nothing but an exhibition fight where Jones will be a heavy, heavy favourite.
@@clutch7548 exactly. No disrespect to Poatan but guys like Jiri, Jamahal Hill and Rountree are tailor made opponents for him. Hill and Rountree have never landed a takedown in their careers, Jiri has 2 takedowns in his career so not a wrestler and on the feet he literally just brawls, one of the highest significant strikes absorbed per minute
He knows that if he retires he is gonna be compared to pereira,he wants to beat him before that he knows pereira will be the next super star after him,he wants to say he beat him after he retires
No one is comparing him to Poatan. Poatan has had a good run but the calibre of Poatan’s wins aren’t even close to that of Jon both in terms of calibre of fighter and stylistic match up. To me 205 is one of the weaker divisions in the UFC, look at the guys in the top 10, Ankalaev is abit of an unknown but Jiri literally has no defence, Jamahal Hill has become a meme at this stage, Jan is almost as old as Stipe, Rakic has lost 3 in a row.
It’s exciting on paper but unless there’s a clause that says jones has to stand for the first 3 rounds with Alex and not take him down we all know how this fight goes if not
@jonhubbard7481 Dumbest comment ever, boring fight if this happens, literally a waste of time as I'm sitting here in my bed with my gf and Maltese Shitzu at 4 in the morning...And somehow I already even know the results.

You don't have the right to pick when there is an interim champ waiting for you for well over a year . Give away the belt and then fight the Teletabes if you want
@@emps8992theres no more interim champ, once the champion has defended his title, then interim champ goes away. we have seen chandler chase conor for the last 3 years nd conor was messing with him cause he doesnt have to do it
Listen to what he said. "Dangerous up and comers." If you're Jon Jones, and you literally have maybe 1, 2, 3 fights left max... what benefit does fighting someone like Tom Aspinall have? If Jon wins, Tom is just another contender he beat. If he loses, it will become a whole thing. Whereas if he goes and fights someone like Alex, Francis, etc... thats a different story.
Hes admitting hes been at the top taking on up and comers ever since he was at the top. Now he is on his way out and doesn't care about that shit he wants to finish his career the path he wants and its a easy and undefeated road I can't knock it!

No one is chastising Tom for wanting to fight an old man. You’re tripping if you think the 1% of ufc fighters who actually get to live off of their fight pay would then sign up to get permanent damage from a much younger man in their last appearance
At least he is honest about it. Its his last dance. He should be able to pick and choose how he wants to go out. Too bad Tom wasn't around before when Jon was in his prime
Bruh Tom lucky the division is garbage now tf😂😂. He wouldnt of survived the Cain era, he wouldnt survived the DC era. Dude is a okay striker at best who i give credit moves faster at his size than most
much of excuses. Jon fought people in his prime 7-8 years older than him. now that the role is reversed it's an issue? weak excuses. he doesn't want to lose
@@tbgtabiasI'm pretty sure the only elite fighter Jon fought in his prime was DC. Everyone else was either in or just out their primes when he faced them in his early 20s
Did you just hear him? He said Tom can have the belt. This obviously implies he is going to drop back down to 205 to finish where he started. Stop drinking tap water!!
Both him and Dana saying the correct things. Dana needs to say if Jones has the heavy weight belt he needs to fight the interim champion. But it’s def better play for Jones to fight Pereira. So if jones vacates his belt and fights Pereira I think Dana would actually love that even more he just can’t say that out loud or he will make the sport not seem as competitive as it is and more of entertainment
People have to understand for fighters THIS IS PLANNING YOUR RETIREMENT. And he has to chase the bag so he doesn’t be like these other older fighters still fighting close to 50. If they let Mcgregor do this losing fights, they have to let their most dominant champ set up his superfights.
Jon should be able to do whatever he wants. He was fighting the LEGENDS of UFC as a kid, yet he’s still here in 2024 demolishing one of the best ever in a weight class he didn’t fight in until a year ago. Whatever he wants to do, Dana should allow it. Jon is the GOAT. Take his outside of octagon life away from it, he’s the greatest fighter who has ever lived.
Ok Jon is one of the most greatest fighter in this world (historicly), but you're forgetting a lot of stuff of his past, doping, problems outside of his sport, judges paid (against reyes). I love Jon because he's remind me myself (smart but dumb at same time), but I don't think is the goat, and he souldn't have that much priviledges !!!
Jon jones forget he so bigger then Dc and more younger then Dc but he still step with him And Dc is double champ and risk Everything. And Someone who call themself is GOAT Doesn't Realize. Alex have own Job to fight with ankalaev and jon still have problem because he undisputed champions. If jon win against tom and alex win against Ankalaev. Is fair if Jon vs alex happend
Why do we want to see him fight a fight that there’s no shot of him losing? Stipe there was the ‘what if’ the whole match, even though jones was always likely going to win. Periera vs jones would be like jones vs gane, he’ll just take em down and ride em out. Personally I have no desire to see a 240lb jones fight against Periera who’s fighting at 205… Aspinall deserves it cause he’s had more success at heavyweight than jones has. Jones clearly scared.
Wow, he's actually making since, he's got the W from championship fights so much that he just needs to focus on super fights, doesn't matter if they have the belt or not
MMA fans are the worst in sports. They love Tom today because they hate Jon so much. When Jon is gone the same fans will turn and find a reason to hate Tom. And the cycle continues.
As long as Tom doesn't cheat, and honors the tradition of defending your belt against the interim champ then he will be fine. Also go back to ball lil bro
100%. Everyone’s riding on Tom right now and then eventually someone else will come up and Tom will be the face of ridicule. It’s just all random nonsense.
@@mikejames3242 Tom is only “the fight” to make to ya because ya want Jon to lose 🤣 now what if Jon fights Tom and beats him what exactly are you gonna say?
Jon jones has the right to fight WHOMEVER he wants. Yall been glazing Aspinall for no damn reason. Just 2 years ago he lost...but "Jones is running" GTFOH
Your a guy who actually wasted your Lifespan on watching Jake vs Tyson I bet. I didn't even waste care for that shit because on Paper it looks nice. But the reality is the same as Jones vs Periera. BORING and LAME when it actually happens.😂
Dana won’t allow that at the moment. Dana won’t mess up Alex. I think Dana will build up Alex to Tom. Then whoever wins, he’d build up a super fight against Jon.
@ that’s the only way to give up the belt without fighting, right? So that’s what Jon is hinting. He’d give up the belt, retire, and then he’ll pick the fight he wants.
For the people saying Jon is scared of Tom you’re a meat head. You don’t get to the level Jon has reached by being scared to fight someone. If the Alex fight is there why not take it a lot of non MMA fans would watch that fight could be huge
I don’t blame him honestly. He makes a great point. He’s getting old man, he doesn’t need to fight these young hungry lions anymore man, have some decency and compassion man.
@@Trufloactavist DC was 38 when Jones was 30. Jones has had a career of fighting people older and smaller than himself. But Jones won't fight 31 yr old Aspinall when he's 37. His cowardice is getting as old as he is.
@@lucax2300 Jones was a light heavyweight champion who moved to heavyweight after cleaning out his division. He defeated Stipe who weighed in 11 pounds heavier. His previous title fight was against Gane who is both younger and heavier. You’re just making stuff up.
I’m not against it. So many other high profile fighters do this, DC, McGregor, O’Malley even. Pereira and Jones both former LHW and much more history on the line than with Aspinall. Pereira next, Aspinall fights winner and should wait.
Ion like it but I understand what he’s saying he wants stars like him he’s at the end he doesn’t want guys that aren’t on his level of fame and status I didn’t like it at first but i totally understand now. He’s tryna get paid.
Super fight? The biggest in the History of the UFC. Alex can get taken down but he also has a good coach thats already getting him ready for Jon. It takes a King to kill a King. Back to LHW for a real contender.
Nobody who’s been watching MMA for more than 3 years wants Jon vs Alex. Might as well make Jon vs Brock Lesnar if we’re just making ridiculous fights that make no sense.
That’s a really pathetic way of looking at it. Stipe was old and weak and looked awful. The fight was meaningless. Jon needs to fight the interim champ or vacate
Jon been the goat, came in dominated the old generation, his generation, and now taking out the generation. If he goes down and fight Perria, captures the light heavyweight belt as well. He should retire.
@@jlpz450 been the goat at roids, beating up women, n coke, oh and you got to admit he is the greatest of all time at dodging Francis and Tom. GSP khabib n ken shamrock are the goats of MMA, Jones just a player in the game.
If he cuts back down to 205 and challenges Pereira for the belt I’ll happily buy the PPV and applaud Jon for being a gangster but from all indications it’ll be nothing more than an exhibiting fight in a weight class Poatan has never competed at
@@420blowingsmoke out of curiosity why is shamrock a goat? There are soooo many fighters ahead of him. I absolutely love Ken, even though i like his brother better, so there's no hate on him.

@@nateindaytona8557 the man's been interim champion for over a year now and Jones won't even entertain the idea of fighting him. That's ducking. You're acting like he has no claim to a title shot and people just picked his name out of a hat, the whole point of an interim champion is for the two to fight when the champ gets healthy again
We all want to see Jones vs Pereira. But something tells me that Jon feels that Tom is a tougher opponent for him, which is crazy cause Periera is a beast.
@@zedapistola54 Seems like you're glazing Tom, Jon Jones is at a point in his career where he determines who he fights. He doesn't want to fight Tom, leave it at that.
Jones doesn't need to fight Aspinall, but he does need to give up the belt if he wants to fight Pierera. He's not a very active fighter and will hold up the HW division for years.

You don't understand fighting language or how important it is having upper hand going into negotiations.He wants to get at least around Francis paid check.

GSP did the same thing Jon is doing at the End of his career idk why y’all so mad lol. Imagine if GSP fought Luke Rockhold or Chris Weidman around the time he fought Bisping 😂
Exactly the same thing. Robert Whittaker was interim champion too so GSP robbed his fight, stalled the division to fight a one eyed old Bisping and then he immediately retired 😂
@@John-c1h4o exactly and Robert at the time was on some terminator ish GSP fighting him wouldn’t even be favorable considering his age and the fact that he had to bulk up for 185
@@Sinatra2200 Bisping was at the height of his career with one eye and got sparked by GSP. Now y’all are trashing the win as if Bisping was washed up 😂😂 the internet is a funny place man
@@northsidecj Bisping had a 5 fight win streak before he lost to GSP and only 3 ppl of note win a sus win over Silva… Yes m, GSP fight him was a layup and he knew it
No one is chastising Tom for wanting to fight an old man. You’re tripping if you think the 1% of ufc fighters who actually get to live off of their fight pay would then sign up to get permanent damage from a much younger man in their last appearance
At least he is honest about it. Its his last dance. He should be able to pick and choose how he wants to go out. Too bad Tom wasn't around before when Jon was in his prime
Bruh Tom lucky the division is garbage now tf😂😂. He wouldnt of survived the Cain era, he wouldnt survived the DC era. Dude is a okay striker at best who i give credit moves faster at his size than most
@@mical2greatThank you! I’m glad I didn’t have to type it 😂
much of excuses. Jon fought people in his prime 7-8 years older than him. now that the role is reversed it's an issue? weak excuses. he doesn't want to lose
@@mical2greathe's been in BJJ since he was a kid, not much use when you can just spark people inside a minute tho.
@@tbgtabiasI'm pretty sure the only elite fighter Jon fought in his prime was DC. Everyone else was either in or just out their primes when he faced them in his early 20s
Bro ducking so hard he’s willing to vacate the belt to avoid Tom.
Tom is trash compared to Alex. What’re you talking about!? Btw Jones would destroy that Brit
Bone Jones is the Goat, and he's fought everyone that was thrown at him, why can't he fight who he wants at the end of his career?
Shouldn't be for a title fight though. Super fights are fine, but don't hold the belt unless your willing to fight the best of the division.
Tom vs Alex winner fights Jones. simple
I like this
Did you just hear him? He said Tom can have the belt. This obviously implies he is going to drop back down to 205 to finish where he started. Stop drinking tap water!!
@user-zq2px9fe2f lol he ain't going back to 205, he will either fight Alex at HW or some Catchweight of Jon's choosing.
@@user-zq2px9fe2fbut alex fifht doesnt make sense over 205 its fair and could be interesting in 205 but not in heavyweight
He was supposed to fight tom but wanted an easy retirement with washed up Stipe. This guy is a 🦆
In Such A Brutal Sport , The Man Barely Has A Scratch.
Both him and Dana saying the correct things. Dana needs to say if Jones has the heavy weight belt he needs to fight the interim champion. But it’s def better play for Jones to fight Pereira. So if jones vacates his belt and fights Pereira I think Dana would actually love that even more he just can’t say that out loud or he will make the sport not seem as competitive as it is and more of entertainment
Can't believe people think Jones is ducking Aspinall. His logic here is basically flawless.
he should vacate the belt then…
His cheating is flawless, you're right
Dana allows him to pick and choose 😴 pus
We don’t think we know 😂
@@JACKSONDUNNETThe literally just said he can have the belt Lmaoo meaning he’s gonna drop division and the belt will be vacated 😂
People have to understand for fighters THIS IS PLANNING YOUR RETIREMENT. And he has to chase the bag so he doesn’t be like these other older fighters still fighting close to 50. If they let Mcgregor do this losing fights, they have to let their most dominant champ set up his superfights.
Straight like that smart because at this level you would just be beating yourself down
That would be a super duper fight!
Jon should be able to do whatever he wants. He was fighting the LEGENDS of UFC as a kid, yet he’s still here in 2024 demolishing one of the best ever in a weight class he didn’t fight in until a year ago. Whatever he wants to do, Dana should allow it. Jon is the GOAT. Take his outside of octagon life away from it, he’s the greatest fighter who has ever lived.
Fighting legends that he was 7-10 years younger then , when he is the legend, won't give the same honor to younger champion.
It’s funny cuz casual idiots will say he’s ducking. He can do whatever he wants.
Ok Jon is one of the most greatest fighter in this world (historicly), but you're forgetting a lot of stuff of his past, doping, problems outside of his sport, judges paid (against reyes).
I love Jon because he's remind me myself (smart but dumb at same time), but I don't think is the goat, and he souldn't have that much priviledges !!!
@jeremyfoglio7781 then who do you think is the goat in MMA?
No ones saying he can’t do what he wants but he can’t be mad when everyone calls him a cat for ducking Aspinal
Jon jones forget he so bigger then Dc and more younger then Dc but he still step with him And Dc is double champ and risk Everything. And Someone who call themself is GOAT Doesn't Realize. Alex have own Job to fight with ankalaev and jon still have problem because he undisputed champions. If jon win against tom and alex win against Ankalaev. Is fair if Jon vs alex happend
He deserves whatever fight he wants he's the GOAT
Why do we want to see him fight a fight that there’s no shot of him losing? Stipe there was the ‘what if’ the whole match, even though jones was always likely going to win. Periera vs jones would be like jones vs gane, he’ll just take em down and ride em out. Personally I have no desire to see a 240lb jones fight against Periera who’s fighting at 205… Aspinall deserves it cause he’s had more success at heavyweight than jones has.
Jones clearly scared.
@@Danjr704bros yapping
@Danjr704 F it. Let's just go and fight China and Russia? Does that make sense? STFU
You need some lube with all that riding
no he doesn't the goat should give what the majority of people want. and it is aspinall
Wow, he's actually making since, he's got the W from championship fights so much that he just needs to focus on super fights, doesn't matter if they have the belt or not
MMA fans are the worst in sports. They love Tom today because they hate Jon so much. When Jon is gone the same fans will turn and find a reason to hate Tom. And the cycle continues.
As long as Tom doesn't cheat, and honors the tradition of defending your belt against the interim champ then he will be fine. Also go back to ball lil bro
100%. Everyone’s riding on Tom right now and then eventually someone else will come up and Tom will be the face of ridicule. It’s just all random nonsense.
Jon is actively ducking his biggest opponent so he can safely pad his pocket book and record are people supposed to be fine with this?
MMA fans are exceptionally stupid. They dont watch other sports im pretty sure. They watch WWE and UFC
I don’t want the young, big, dangerous, well rounded, deserving fighter. I want the middle weight kickboxer 😂😂😂
Pereira walk around wait 233..Jones 237… LET‘S GO!!
Lets go what? Watch Jon submit him in 2 minutes like he did Gane??? Tom is the fight u weirdos.
@@mikejames3242mike go back to eatings beans all day u brit

@@Sinatra2200they’ll just find another excuse to call him a pussy and deny the fact he’d whoop any of their favorite fighters ass lol
@@Sinatra2200”rematch”
Jones V Pereira would be AMAZING.
Jon jones has the right to fight WHOMEVER he wants. Yall been glazing Aspinall for no damn reason. Just 2 years ago he lost...but "Jones is running" GTFOH
He fought like 2 dangerous up and comers and already lost to one of them..
He lost via injury in the first time and defended the interim belt the second time he fought him… are you stupid?
Him and Alex would be crazy
Your a guy who actually wasted your Lifespan on watching Jake vs Tyson I bet. I didn't even waste care for that shit because on Paper it looks nice. But the reality is the same as Jones vs Periera. BORING and LAME when it actually happens.😂
There you go he just answered everyone who said he's ducking Tom which makes perfect sense
Dana won’t allow that at the moment. Dana won’t mess up Alex. I think Dana will build up Alex to Tom. Then whoever wins, he’d build up a super fight against Jon.
Jon will be retired by that time
@ that’s the only way to give up the belt without fighting, right? So that’s what Jon is hinting. He’d give up the belt, retire, and then he’ll pick the fight he wants.
that’s right Bones Jones fight who you want to fight ,you the best tell them to pay you accordingly🏆💪🏿😎
I want Alex to respond to this
Alex Response : Chama 🗿
For the people saying Jon is scared of Tom you’re a meat head. You don’t get to the level Jon has reached by being scared to fight someone. If the Alex fight is there why not take it a lot of non MMA fans would watch that fight could be huge
He just wants to avoid Tom
I don’t blame him honestly. He makes a great point. He’s getting old man, he doesn’t need to fight these young hungry lions anymore man, have some decency and compassion man.
Tom will lose the belt in a couple title defense attempts. Jones is looking for legacy fights.
@@Trufloactavist DC was 38 when Jones was 30. Jones has had a career of fighting people older and smaller than himself. But Jones won't fight 31 yr old Aspinall when he's 37. His cowardice is getting as old as he is.
@@Sir_Riffkinexactly. To be honest there’s nothing special about that guy.
@@lucax2300 Jones was a light heavyweight champion who moved to heavyweight after cleaning out his division. He defeated Stipe who weighed in 11 pounds heavier. His previous title fight was against Gane who is both younger and heavier. You’re just making stuff up.
I’m not against it. So many other high profile fighters do this, DC, McGregor, O’Malley even. Pereira and Jones both former LHW and much more history on the line than with Aspinall. Pereira next, Aspinall fights winner and should wait.
Ion like it but I understand what he’s saying he wants stars like him he’s at the end he doesn’t want guys that aren’t on his level of fame and status I didn’t like it at first but i totally understand now. He’s tryna get paid.
He didn’t said he doesn’t want guys on his level of fame and status
@ It was a typo I fixed it.
Pereira should hold out on Jones like he’s holding out on Aspinall. It’s the UFC not the Jon Jones show.
u won it and defended it. u dont need it
Super fight? The biggest in the History of the UFC. Alex can get taken down but he also has a good coach thats already getting him ready for Jon. It takes a King to kill a King. Back to LHW for a real contender.
Nobody who’s been watching MMA for more than 3 years wants Jon vs Alex. Might as well make Jon vs Brock Lesnar if we’re just making ridiculous fights that make no sense.
Why dont people want Jon vs Alex? He will fight Tom at somepoint
@@13WVUna he won’t
Say what you want about the guy. Some of may be true even. But he's an incredible fighter and as dangerous as Pereira is, he'll be another victim.....
Lol idk why Aspinal fans really think he has a chance against Jon, he’s too multi dimensional for Tom
Then let him fight him
Jon coming into the stipe fight and completely demolishing him was insane, I think this pretty much solidifys jones as the GOAT
That’s a really pathetic way of looking at it. Stipe was old and weak and looked awful. The fight was meaningless. Jon needs to fight the interim champ or vacate
Bro what I love the fight but stipe was super slow sluggish and old he didn’t beat old stipe. He aged him out for almost 4 years 😅 let’s keep it 💯
Jon been the goat, came in dominated the old generation, his generation, and now taking out the generation. If he goes down and fight Perria, captures the light heavyweight belt as well. He should retire.
@@jlpz450 been the goat at roids, beating up women, n coke, oh and you got to admit he is the greatest of all time at dodging Francis and Tom. GSP khabib n ken shamrock are the goats of MMA, Jones just a player in the game.
Yeah he’ll be the the world renowned goat of fighters when he retires to so what you said made very clear sense to me
If he cuts back down to 205 and challenges Pereira for the belt I’ll happily buy the PPV and applaud Jon for being a gangster but from all indications it’ll be nothing more than an exhibiting fight in a weight class Poatan has never competed at
@@420blowingsmoke out of curiosity why is shamrock a goat? There are soooo many fighters ahead of him. I absolutely love Ken, even though i like his brother better, so there's no hate on him. I just think Anderson Silva and mighty mouse, Randy couture and Matt Hughes, Chuck Liddell and bas rutten, fedor and BJ Penn... Just so many other ppl are ahead of Ken shamrock.
@durapoker originality I guess probably cuz he was the first MMA fighter I saw so without him I probably wouldn't be here right now. N honestly goat is a personal opinion for all.
Jon looking like a Jamie Foxx Django stunt double
If Jones fights Aspinall, if he wins they will say Aspinall was not that good and if he loses it raises Aspinall stock. Lose-lose for Jones.
💯 👏🏼
UFC fans wouldn’t love Tom vs Jon. As soon as he wins there will be excuses and more 💩 talk. Do what you want Jon haters will ALWAYS hate!
Will he? Because Jon seems pretty determined to duck Tom for as long as possible
@ It wouldn’t matter if it was Tom up next or Mickey Mouse. You think everyone can beat him until they get whipped then yall drop that fighter like he never existed and pick a new one. F off mate. Jon is gonna beat Alex and retire. Tom gotta make his own legacy like everyone else
@nateindaytona8557 Every great in UFC history is unbeatable until they get beaten, if you want to pretend Jon isn't ducking his biggest opponent that's fine though
@ Last year y’all were raving about Sergei Pavlovich. Remember? He got slumped and now it’s Tom Aspinall. Also overrated. He will get submitted in the 1st round and yall will find someone else to claim Jon is ducking. Just stop.
@@nateindaytona8557 the man's been interim champion for over a year now and Jones won't even entertain the idea of fighting him. That's ducking. You're acting like he has no claim to a title shot and people just picked his name out of a hat, the whole point of an interim champion is for the two to fight when the champ gets healthy again
Jon had been proven he can pick who he wants
Bro is asking for the craziest guy right now and people are calling him a “duck” lmaoooo stupid ass casuals
Pereira is a crazy fight? He submits Pereira in 1 round
Exactly, that's what's crazy
Yeah for people to say that after hearing him say this basically calls you out as clueless
@ me clueless?
@@MelvinMansoor no people that are calling him a duck, they’re clueless
We all want to see Jones vs Pereira.
But something tells me that Jon feels that Tom is a tougher opponent for him, which is crazy cause Periera is a beast.
Lol! This dude. That mayweather blueprint is flagrantly obvious
he getting older 😂 what's left
This Will be an Epic display of the domains of the Art of Combat
He will do Pereira the same way he did Gane and he knows it. 😂 Aspinal is way more dangerous
Aspinal is what’s hot, y’all were saying the same thing about Izzy. Jon Jones would walk through both of them!
@@josedejesus765 No way in hell Jon doesnt get knocked tf out by Tom, yall are just glazing a shadow of and old fighter
@@zedapistola54 Seems like you're glazing Tom, Jon Jones is at a point in his career where he determines who he fights. He doesn't want to fight Tom, leave it at that.
DANA you say he’s the GOAT give him what he wants!
Jones doesn't need to fight Aspinall, but he does need to give up the belt if he wants to fight Pierera. He's not a very active fighter and will hold up the HW division for years.
Just keep dodging and dodging
yawn 😂
He got nothing to prove against tom. He is the best ever mma fighter. He wanted francis so badly 1 year back then why wud he will dodge against tom.
Jon fought everyone his whole career, dominated. Now all of a sudden he a duck after he crushed everyone
I’d like to see Tom fight Pereira! That would decide toms fate
He wants Pereira and Nganu how do people think he's afraid of Aspinal.
Periera Is an established fighter with a Resume unlike Tom whatever his name is ...
Jon can’t lose. He won’t ever lose
Already has 😂

Same reason he r3fused Ngannou😂
i respect jones for saying this. Just be honest and everything is all good.

Would be the biggest fight since Poaton and Izzy 3. Jones dropping down to 205 and fighting for the title against Alex at the end of 2025 would be huge huge huge.

He's earned it without a doubt, but just imagine if all the legends before him denied to fight him to go after legacy fights.
Dude saying everything possible to avoid a fight with Aspinall 😂
You don't understand fighting language or how important it is having upper hand going into negotiations.He wants to get at least around Francis paid check. Tom and the UFC are in need of JJ PAY the Man or he run the contract preparing for Francis and make even more $$$$$$. Can't hate the man for being intelligent with his finances.
No one wants to see that fight anyway
Are you serious?
@@emanuelsantos5925Doesn’t matter he’s still dodging whether it’s because he scared or he won’t making the supposed “money” he would from the fight.

People are bugging, Alex is a much more dangerous opp for Jones, Alex is the most dangerous fighter in the UFC atm and he has a way better legacy than Tom. Let Tom have the HW and make Alex vs Jones 😤
Give the man Alex
Most of the people saying they want to see the aspinal fight is because they want to see jones career look bad but let be honest Tom aspinal is a great fighter and has a name for himself but Alex by FAR would give him so much more of an entertaining fight especially since Jones and Alex are both double champs
