@@mxbblife_mu lmao he refused to fight anyone other than a washed up former champ coming off a ko loss 4 years ago and now he’s demanding F you money just to defend against the interim champ. Don’t be such a casual
The Alex Pereira fight is awful and totally pointless, Alex will get taken down in 20 seconds and put out cold in a minute. The only challenge Jon has left is Tom, if they don't make that fight then let Jon retire.
Jon will stand with Alex because he's the better mma striker ....but I think the duck act is to negotiate. Tom is next. 2nd round tko vicious GnP for Jones. Imo
@@DonaldthefelontrumpRight, because he’s gassed out before in his fight against… oh wait, he’s literally never gassed out. Nobody wants to see this fight except for you, bum. Tom flatlines Jon before it reaches the minute mark.
I’m glad Jon said that if the Alex fight is not what “the fans” want that he will retire. After seeing Tom Aspinall clips, I don’t want to see him fight Alex, I want to see him fight Tom. Young, fast, great striking or grappling, and most importantly of comparable size.
@@T2DaO not really. Tom is 1 inch taller and 3 lbs heavier. Meanwhile Jon has a 6.5 inch reach advantage. They’re both in their 30’s. Not seeing the issue. The Fans want Jones V Aspinall.
Something he said lines up with what we saw from Jones in previous fights. He picks something about his opponent to use against them. He beats them at their own best game. In this case, he and his team predetermined that they wanted to use the same kill on Miocic that Miocic used on Cormier. I think, you really have to be confident if you have time to think about stuff like that. It's not a movie, it's real fighting. But Jones has done it time and again and they were planning it for this fight. It didn't work out, but it's crazy that this went into their calculation because that has nothing to do with winning the fight. It's only like bragging rights or something to talk about after the fight.
He doesn’t have to fight contenders anymore if he doesn’t want or isnt motivated to . He’s 37 and fought 16+ title fights if he wants super fights and big money fights the rest of his career than so be it aslong as he vacates 💯
💯… that’s my only issue with him. He’s held up the heavy weight division for 2 long. Either fight Aspinal and reunify the belt/division or vacate and go do wat makes you happy. No one fighter is bigger than the sport not even Jones.
He’s the champion that’s his job to defend against contenders. If he doesn’t want to he should vacate or retire. Otherwise it’s just holding up the division.
What are you even talking about, he hasn't fought a contender in years. Cyril was the top ranked h.w at the time and just fought for the belt so he was the highest ranked guy he could of got. Wouldn't call Stipe a contender bc he wasn't touching the belt and so again this was a money fight. He literally has 2 fights that most fans want to see and they are both huge money fights and neither are "contenders."
John Jones is absolutely right God does absolutely love him the same exact way as he loves us all true unconditional love. Great fight John you are amazing in the art of fighting absolutely the goat no doubts nobody can take away what this dude has done in fighting never see another like him in my lifetime.
Not if alex comes up to heavyweight. Granted aspinal should be next, I think exemptions can be made for champions like Alex. Let's face it, Jones is old and he has earned his right to pick a fight.
@@DonaldthefelontrumpNope. We rip on boxing for cherry-picking and the best not fighting the best.. I’m a die hard Jon bones fan but he’s been sounding ridiculous. Fight the best challenger to your title.
What don’t you understand. The man said he could have the title. JBJ is in the mayweather realm. Where he calls the shots not the promotion. Only goats can do that. He earned that. And I could respect that
Never happened. Jones don't want to fight Tom. Tom has nothing to offer Jones. Not legacy, not money, not anything. If jones loses to aspinal, Tom gains the world. If jones beats Tom, jones gains nothing. If jones fights Poatan, Jon gains stupid millions of dollars and if he wins, he beats a man who has achieved legend status. Then jones can ride into the sunset.
It’s gonna be a tough fight and he’s already made an impact on the sport. And Jon’s getting older.. Don’t forget he needs to train super hard to prepare for the fight too. I don’t blame him.
Jon has money but look at his accomplishments in comparison to Conor’s and the huge pay difference between the two. He needs to be paid how they were paying McGregor, he’s the most accomplished fighter to ever do it in MMA/UFC and he should be paid as such, not just taking fights that people want to see if it doesn’t make sense to him.
Jones is the goat, still his meat riders are blind to the fact that he wants to duck the best heavyweight we’ve seen since the last heavyweight he managed to duck lmfao
@@RocknrollaBlitz nah there is no way he will be allowed to retire but then take a non UFC fight, unless a significant period of time passes. His contract will cover that, otherwise fighters would try and do it all the time. Conor could've just "retired" and then taken any big money boxing match he wanted, without UFC permission
It’s Jon Jones 5yr off or not, he’s the most decorated UFC Champion in history. That being said, he has somewhat of a right to demand what he wants to fight Tom. Idk what the argument against this exactly. Jones is averaging 2 million a fight, if he wants more I think he’s within his right, tastefully to ask for it.
@@Bambinobluesmoke he makes more than 2 mil. That was just the minimum guaranteed purse, not including PPV. Also... It's ABSOLUTELY not his right! 😂 Which is literally why he's saying he is willing to vacate the HW belt lol. You think he wants to do that?? Or course he doesn't lol. But he knows the HW champ has to fight the interim champ next and he doesn't wanna do that. So he'll be forced to drop the belt in order for him to duck Tom. It's not his right to keep Tom Interim and give Alex the next title shot
First title defense since 3-4-23 maybe he will not 🦆 aspinall until 2026 now. Age definitely was not nice to stipe because he was slow as hell and flat footed but we all knew he was ages past his prime.
Jones doing that for Charles in the sprinter van and then having his pastor pray for both is what being a Christian is all about. Not breaking under the pressure of the world is what being a Christian is all about. I don’t necessarily like or dislike Jon, but anyone professing their love for Christ and glorifying him has my respect.
Aspinall should fight perreira. That way jones has no option but to fight him if he wins. And it also means aspinall wont spend a long time not fighting during his prime while ufc negotiate with jon
He needs to defend the title like every champion before has done and what fighters did jones beat bunch of legends that’s were older when jones was the up and comer fuck jones
He’s like mayweather. He’ll fight ur favourites if the bag is right and I respect it. And people will make excuses if he wins these fights just like they did when mayweather did
@@onetwo8847they been saying this about mayweather but what was the excuse when he beat younger fighters.. jones vs doninic jones vs smith jones vs Gustafson all in their primes and many more…you’ll say anything to discredit greatness…yall said Floyd fought canelo to early fought Miranda too early fought Mosley too late or manny too late it’s always an excuse with you guys
@@milknmydreadzpodcast8622 1. Jones lost to Reyes... lol. EVERYONE acknowledged this, including Dana White. He also very arguably lost 3-2 in the first fight to Gus.

I'm talking about how he didn't take the Manny fight for over half a decade and waited until he eventually got KO'd lol. But hey... at least Floyd did fight them all (at the right time... for the right money) I don't believe Jon ever would've fought Francis. And I don't believe he will fight Tom
Agree. It’s obvious what he’s doing to sell the fight. He’s actually doing the smart thing. I think he’ll end up getting the huge pay fighting Tom and winning easily and possibly retiring after.
@@AlexBahr-cr6kp Oh come off it. This version of Jones beats big tommy aspinall easily? Have you not seen Aspinall fight? If you ask all of his peers who wins in that fight, I bet they all say Aspinall, and pretty quickly too. Jones is incredible no doubt, but Aspinall merks him within the first round. Too big, too fast, too well rounded. Jon should retire and sail off into the sunset. If he wants to get beat for a crazy amount of money, then fair enough, and respect for taking the fight,
@@AlexBahr-cr6kp and I dont buy for a second that this is a work from Jones. He literally mentioned derrick lewis and jahamal hill as possible future opponents. If it was a work, he wouldnt have mentioned those 2 I dont feel.
Think about it this way for a second. Not because Jon wants this but because Alex deserves this fight. He deserves an opportunity to become the first three division champion. He carried this year on his back. Let Alex rest his hands and jones goes right back into camp. Book this fight on international fight week. Those who will come after me saying Tom deserves it. I will 100% agree with you. My only argument is he's still young and can wait 6-8 more months. The ufc has an opportunity to either build the biggest name ever! (Since Conor) Think of the promotional opportunities with Alex being a heavyweight champion. Now on the other hand Jon wins. He gets the most amazing send off into retirement. Stops one of the greatest prospects in UFC history. The man that came and conquered in two divisions got stopped at the 3rd. Tom has plenty of time to become the greatest. I'm a huge Tom fan but first l'm a huge UFC fan.
He uses money to duck dangerous fights. Worked with Ngannou until he left the UFC, and he made his HW debut after. Now he is gonna walk away coz Tom Won't.
Francis ran out of the ufc because he didn't want to fight Jones. Wtf are you on about? Also if jones is to fight his last fight, why would he fight against a nobody like Tom? Perriera is the money fight. Legend vs legend. Winner takes all. Tom doesn't do that for Jon. Tom is a nobody.
Every opportunity Jon Jones has gotten was with established older fighters who gave up and coming guys a chance like himself. Pay it forward. Not all about you my man.
Tom Aspinall has beaten NOBODY that’s highly skilled. He’s lost multiple fights and been SUBMITTED. Why risk it all and give this man a career when even if Jon wins the haters won’t care.
Then retire Jones. You won't be missed, your talent and legacy on the other hand. You've had a great career and have already cemented yourself in mma history. You only have 2 at most 3 fights fans want to see and clearly you don't want those fights as bad as you did when you were younger and in your prime. Which is fine. Stop holding up the division and stop letting/making more hypotheticals for the fans.
Yup for sure, and then Pereira can come up and face Aspinall for triple champion because unlike jones, Pereira is actually looking to face young healthy champions.
Wow. After listening to this Jones interview, all respect to the man. I don't think he's scared of Tom Aspinal, but like Jones said, the money should be right, tells me two things (1). He's willing to fight Aspinal if the UFC gives him the right deal. (2). Tom Aspinal is dangerous, understandably , Jones's getting on with age, at 37 years old.
This was obvious from the beginning. The only way he's going to go out to a fighter he knows could very well be him is if the money will set him up and his future generations for life. That way it's a win-win for him. If he loses he has Fu money. If he wins he still gets Fu money and he can retire as the goat. To be honest, I think he would pull a Floyd Mayweather and just pay Pereira to lose more than he would make if he won
Wow. Say what you will. I understand and can relate (as im sure many can) of some of this mans pain. Over the years we've watch this man grow into an exceptional human and champion. Miles Dei my brothers. 🕊️ 🏆
'I don't want to fight dangerous up and coming fighters'. Way to redefine what competetive combat sports actually are. That's what you do Jon, you fight up and coming dangerous fighters until you can't any longer, then you concede the belt to somebody else who deserves it for a while. Selfish pr*ck.
The Alex fight is easier than Tom. But I'd watch. Problem is I don't like alex cutting the line in every Division and getting undeserved title shots multiple times
@warriorredeemed215 Yes he did! He’s ego’s unreal but given his resume can you blame him. You can tell from his last few interviews that he doesn’t fancy his chances against Tom but I’m hoping his ego gets the better of him
@@JME451 bro you clearly didnt listen to the first two minutes of the interview where he gives credence to his Taekwondo coach and showers him with overhwhelming praise. Pay attention. Tom is a nobody. Hes passively egotistical. Thats why he makes Tshirts making fun of Jones and makes videos with a duck. Childish new gen influencer nonsense. A UFC version of Jake Paul. If it isnt Jon Jones, that kids gonna go down regardless.
You clearly don’t know shit about the fight game and definitely never had a prayer of a fight in your life. To actually be think that delusional just let’s all of us real fighters your just a FAN and not a student of the game.. you don’t know a legend when you see one obviously but you better put some RESPECT on the name of Jon Jones .. The greatest MMA fighter of all TIME……..
Aspinall best attribute is his speed, he leaves himself open to get tagged and countered a lot from what I've seen in his fights. Also his conditioning will be a thing as well since hes never seen a rd 3. Jones will more than likely use his distance and leg kicks to neutralize Aspinall speed if they were to fight. The longer the fight drags on would be in Jones favor. If Aspinall doesnt close the distance early hes gonna lose the fight in my opinion. I see Jones winning by UD or KO due to his skill set being too much for Aspinall whose opponents up until this point have been limited.
The UFC has ruined this whole situation by letting Francis leave. Jon would pummel both Francis and Tom and the UFC ruined it. We could’ve watched Jon /Francis Tom/Francis Jon/Tom Tom/Stipe but it’s ruined. Pay the fighters what they’re worth when they ask for it !
@@DonaldthefelontrumpAspinall is the interim champ, #1 contender and the 7th ranked p4p fighter. You might be clueless casual, but that doesn’t mean most fans are.
@@moexbabe817 Then he can vacate the belt and go fight Jake Paul lmao. Leave the actual fighting to the actual fighters, not steroid cheats who duck contenders.
OMG! are you people crazy. Tom doesn't stand a chance against Jon. Look at Jons resume and compare it to Toms. When Jon defeats Tom everyone is gong to say Tom was overrated. Alex is a far harder fight for Jon than Tom. Jon will maul Tom with his wrestling, Tom is just a lesser version of Ciryl Gane.
@@generalneylandGBMFO Seems you forgot what Ngannou did to a younger and stronger Stipe, not this 42 year old version. Jones could not beat that version of Stipe. Remember Jones lost to DOMINICK REYES
1 thing i like about JJ whn he sees a dangerous fighter he doesn't say he looks dangerous i don't want 2 fight him he says he looks dangerous i want 2 fight him
Watching Jones's eyes darting around the room from MMA journalist to MMA journalist, looking like he's very aware of those who he knows are going to ask the tough question, which will continue to expose what JJ's motives truly are. That is to carefully pick and choose the fights he knows he'll win, while avoiding the FIGHT he knows has the greatest probability of ruining his chance to retire on top, as the undefeated Heavyweight Champion of the world. What Jones doest seem to understand is that by him deliberately steering his career around Tom Aspinal does more to delegitimize his legacy, than actually talking the fight with Tom and showing the courage to put it all on the line for true greatness. Honestly, I think he has more of a chance at beating Tom than Jones does himself. Nothing but love and respect to Jon Jones. God bless you brother.
Here we go … Dana fucked this all up letting JBJ duck Aspinall and Ngannou. JBJ gonna turn the HW division into a Jake Paul show, curating a line up of old guys and smaller guys. Put your foot down, Dana. Invest in the future of your organization. Tell Jon to fight Aspinall or vacate.
Jones vs Francis ngannou. Jones is the greatest heavy weight pound for pound. Tom or Alex is no threat to Jon Jones. Francis ngannou is Jones true worth because Francis ngannou is the undefeated heavy weight UFC.
I don’t want to say a Pereira fight is safer for jon because pereira is a beast in his own right but that fight obviously safer for Jon. He sitting here saying he flat out don’t like aspinal, well then fight him, jones legacy already set but a jones victory over Tom would cement him as one of the all time great athletes and GOATS of any sports GOAT
Stipe obviously old and hasn’t fought in years, but Jon looked dominant as ever and hasn’t skipped a beat, i haven’t watched any of Tom’s fights in full but jon looks as good as ever, he can win
Confessing Jesus Christ is one thing. People do that all the time. Your life determines whether you are a follower of Jesus Christ or not. Jon made Stipe look like his junior. He destroyed the uncle🤭 Shaun 🇿🇦
If and when Jon fights Aspinal, weeks and days leading to the fight is when Mr big mouth and overated Aspinal will realise the psuenami of beating coming his way.... Jon is a destroyer and there are too many skills and attack to watch, punches, elbows, kicks, head shots everything..... it's just too much for anybody honestly.

Tom has plenty of time to become the greatest. I'm a huge Tom fan but first l'm a huge UFC fan.
He uses money to duck dangerous fights. Worked with Ngannou until he left the UFC, and he made his HW debut after. Now he is gonna walk away coz Tom Won't.
Francis ran out of the ufc because he didn't want to fight Jones. Wtf are you on about? Also if jones is to fight his last fight, why would he fight against a nobody like Tom? Perriera is the money fight. Legend vs legend. Winner takes all. Tom doesn't do that for Jon. Tom is a nobody.
@@Donaldthefelontrump that's funny because then it's easy money why not fight him
@@Donaldthefelontrumpshut up you Kamala supporter
why dont you fight for free instead of these fighters
Truth. He ran from ngannou and now Tom
Asspnal not the biggest fight he will have not even close they jus wanna see will Jon lose like every opponent
If Jon Jones doesn't fight Tom he should be stripped of the belt and not allowed to fight at all.
Every opportunity Jon Jones has gotten was with established older fighters who gave up and coming guys a chance like himself. Pay it forward. Not all about you my man.
Stop it, they didn’t give em chance they tried to cut the tree before it got too big. His personality was perfect bait
If 🦆Aspinal calls Jon a beeeatch than the best fight in ufc history is set for 2025. Lets go Jon! 🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐
Tom Aspinall has beaten NOBODY that’s highly skilled. He’s lost multiple fights and been SUBMITTED. Why risk it all and give this man a career when even if Jon wins the haters won’t care.
Mate you are so weird. I saw you comment that across multiple videos and channels.
He’s not beating tom, tom in his prime right now that’s why he not willing to take the fight
@@Pjw789 you were in all the comment sections tho 💀 all the white boys spamming duck are normal got it
@ Tom has literally been beaten by people worse than Jon Jones you casual clown💀💀💀💀
Got injured again Curtis then avenged the ‘loss’ - what are you talking about?
PED boy bricking it, he doesn’t want Tom
Then retire Jones. You won't be missed, your talent and legacy on the other hand. You've had a great career and have already cemented yourself in mma history. You only have 2 at most 3 fights fans want to see and clearly you don't want those fights as bad as you did when you were younger and in your prime. Which is fine. Stop holding up the division and stop letting/making more hypotheticals for the fans.
he is the goat doesn't matter how you feel
Just vacate the damn belt and let Tom get on with creating his own legendary career.
Yup for sure, and then Pereira can come up and face Aspinall for triple champion because unlike jones, Pereira is actually looking to face young healthy champions.
@@HarshTruth711The same Ciryl Gane that got neutralised by Francis wrestling?😂😂
He literally just defended the belt lol
@@HarshTruth711The guy coming off back to back losses, the most recent of which being a loss by finish in the first round? Totally.
@@HarshTruth711 Are you slow? I’m talking about Ciryl, not Jones.
Wow. After listening to this Jones interview, all respect to the man. I don't think he's scared of Tom Aspinal, but like Jones said, the money should be right, tells me two things (1). He's willing to fight Aspinal if the UFC gives him the right deal. (2). Tom Aspinal is dangerous, understandably , Jones's getting on with age, at 37 years old.
This was obvious from the beginning. The only way he's going to go out to a fighter he knows could very well be him is if the money will set him up and his future generations for life. That way it's a win-win for him. If he loses he has Fu money. If he wins he still gets Fu money and he can retire as the goat. To be honest, I think he would pull a Floyd Mayweather and just pay Pereira to lose more than he would make if he won
Wow. Say what you will. I understand and can relate (as im sure many can) of some of this mans pain. Over the years we've watch this man grow into an exceptional human and champion. Miles Dei my brothers. 🕊️ 🏆
Wow, Jon baited us in the post fight speech that we would get the Aspinall fight then completely went back on it
Tom played his card wrong. He was very immature and wasn’t respectful. Hes not a bad dude at all just got excited and shot his shot wrong.
He has been crystal clear. He isn't fighting tom.
Give us Jon VS. Pereira!
If they didn’t know his name, they know it now. Congratulations Jon Jones you fine fine man.
'I don't want to fight dangerous up and coming fighters'. Way to redefine what competetive combat sports actually are. That's what you do Jon, you fight up and coming dangerous fighters until you can't any longer, then you concede the belt to somebody else who deserves it for a while. Selfish pr*ck.
The way he looked out for Charles is dope, I didn’t know that. Charles was brought up in the UFC, that’s dope!
he will do the same thing to Tom, only advantage tom has is size and speed
Speed? Tom isn't fast. He just looks fast compared to the 30 something year old fat guys he's fought.
John don’t believe the hype. True fans know you will out class Tom. Your on a different level always have been
True fan
Just let the man retire damn who’s next after Tom like it’s never ending 😂
The Alex fight is easier than Tom. But I'd watch. Problem is I don't like alex cutting the line in every Division and getting undeserved title shots multiple times
Only two times jones has asked for F U money and that's when Francis and Toms names have come up.. The irony.
Takedown was incredible! I wasn't expecting him to make it look so easy...wow!!
“I came up with the spinning back kick” - Jon duck Jones
He didnt say that loool.
@warriorredeemed215 Yes he did! He’s ego’s unreal but given his resume can you blame him. You can tell from his last few interviews that he doesn’t fancy his chances against Tom but I’m hoping his ego gets the better of him
@@JME451 bro you clearly didnt listen to the first two minutes of the interview where he gives credence to his Taekwondo coach and showers him with overhwhelming praise. Pay attention.
Tom is a nobody. Hes passively egotistical. Thats why he makes Tshirts making fun of Jones and makes videos with a duck. Childish new gen influencer nonsense. A UFC version of Jake Paul. If it isnt Jon Jones, that kids gonna go down regardless.
How much money is "FU" money for Jon Jones for one fight? $10 million? $15 million? $20 million? How much is enough and still realistic?
Aspinall does not need you bro. You'll get stripped for ducking and then you can go fight the easy Alex fight
Jones took 3 rounds to get past an over the hill Stipe Miocic
He knows Aspinall finishes him that's why he will continue to avoid him
You’re making assumptions stop embarrassing yourself you sound like a woman
You’ve waited for over a decade to see Bones lose. Damn. Keep waiting lol.
You clearly don’t know shit about the fight game and definitely never had a prayer of a fight in your life. To actually be think that delusional just let’s all of us real fighters your just a FAN and not a student of the game.. you don’t know a legend when you see one obviously but you better put some RESPECT on the name of Jon Jones .. The greatest MMA fighter of all TIME……..
Man you guys will be surprised at how easy jones can beat him
@@maxpainmediaI’ll come back to mock you if they ever fight.
Aspinall best attribute is his speed, he leaves himself open to get tagged and countered a lot from what I've seen in his fights. Also his conditioning will be a thing as well since hes never seen a rd 3. Jones will more than likely use his distance and leg kicks to neutralize Aspinall speed if they were to fight. The longer the fight drags on would be in Jones favor. If Aspinall doesnt close the distance early hes gonna lose the fight in my opinion. I see Jones winning by UD or KO due to his skill set being too much for Aspinall whose opponents up until this point have been limited.
Jones will trip him & elbow his face to hamburger, no need to see a replay of 90% of Jones' fights
It’s a big fact that Jones gains 0 from fighting Aspinal but it’ll be a great fight to watch I won’t lie & Alex would also be a great watch
Jon wanted to KO Stipe, instead of a easy round 1-2 sub
Poatan Pereira vs. Bones Jones during international fight week 💪
As long as he gives up the belt to the actual heavyweight champ who cares
The UFC has ruined this whole situation by letting Francis leave. Jon would pummel both Francis and Tom and the UFC ruined it. We could’ve watched Jon /Francis Tom/Francis Jon/Tom Tom/Stipe but it’s ruined. Pay the fighters what they’re worth when they ask for it !
Would be nice to see Tom beat Alex convincingly so Jon has no reason not to take that fight lol
That’s stupid dude you’rere the heavyweight champ and Tom is the interim heavyweight champ and you don’t think it’s a match????
Jones vs Aspinall next !!!
Jones vs Perreira is next. Aspinal is a nobody.
@@Donaldthefelontrump💯
@@DonaldthefelontrumpAspinall is the interim champ, #1 contender and the 7th ranked p4p fighter. You might be clueless casual, but that doesn’t mean most fans are.
@@ericstewart-ce7eqdoesn’t matter lol if bones don’t want to fight him he not going to fight him . HE HAS NOTHING LEFT TO PROVE
@@moexbabe817 Then he can vacate the belt and go fight Jake Paul lmao. Leave the actual fighting to the actual fighters, not steroid cheats who duck contenders.
I understand everything Jones saying. However I want to see the Tom fight for his haters.
OMG! are you people crazy. Tom doesn't stand a chance against Jon. Look at Jons resume and compare it to Toms. When Jon defeats Tom everyone is gong to say Tom was overrated. Alex is a far harder fight for Jon than Tom. Jon will maul Tom with his wrestling, Tom is just a lesser version of Ciryl Gane.
PFL needs to call Jones and make him an offer he can't refuse so we can have *Jones vs Ngannou* Stingy Dana is not the way to go.
Nganoo would get demolished....quickly
@@generalneylandGBMFO Seems you forgot what Ngannou did to a younger and stronger Stipe, not this 42 year old version. Jones could not beat that version of Stipe. Remember Jones lost to DOMINICK REYES
@@vaticinus I remember Stipe whoopin his arse for 25 minutes, the KO & Nganoo not giving Stipe the rubber match, chased a "boxing" career instead
1 thing i like about JJ whn he sees a dangerous fighter he doesn't say he looks dangerous i don't want 2 fight him he says he looks dangerous i want 2 fight him
" my life is perfect" 😅😅🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂🤡🤡🤡🦆🦆🦆
Aspinal is a nobody
Bahahahah COPE HARDER! 💀
Omg Jon you're that scared to test yourself against Tom? No one wants to see that prayer fight I know you're negotiating but this is so annoying
Didnt know Jon Jones was part of the GSI movement minus the irony
Watching Jones's eyes darting around the room from MMA journalist to MMA journalist, looking like he's very aware of those who he knows are going to ask the tough question, which will continue to expose what JJ's motives truly are. That is to carefully pick and choose the fights he knows he'll win, while avoiding the FIGHT he knows has the greatest probability of ruining his chance to retire on top, as the undefeated Heavyweight Champion of the world. What Jones doest seem to understand is that by him deliberately steering his career around Tom Aspinal does more to delegitimize his legacy, than actually talking the fight with Tom and showing the courage to put it all on the line for true greatness. Honestly, I think he has more of a chance at beating Tom than Jones does himself. Nothing but love and respect to Jon Jones. God bless you brother.
12:44 yep, we heard it all the time😂
He's holding up the heavyweight division. We want to see him fight the Tom, Sergei, Volkov but he won't. VACATE !!!!
Here we go …
Dana fucked this all up letting JBJ duck Aspinall and Ngannou.
JBJ gonna turn the HW division into a Jake Paul show, curating a line up of old guys and smaller guys.
Put your foot down, Dana. Invest in the future of your organization. Tell Jon to fight Aspinall or vacate.
If you are not going to fight Tom next, nobody's interested.
Wow he said bruce lee taught him that kick no wonder he won
Did not fight Ngannou, Did not fight Aspinall. 3rd best of his time then? Cool
Dudes realizing hes about to meet his maker and pretending to be a good psychopath
Well then you should be stripped of that title.
Jones vs Francis ngannou. Jones is the greatest heavy weight pound for pound. Tom or Alex is no threat to Jon Jones. Francis ngannou is Jones true worth because Francis ngannou is the undefeated heavy weight UFC.
I don’t want to say a Pereira fight is safer for jon because pereira is a beast in his own right but that fight obviously safer for Jon. He sitting here saying he flat out don’t like aspinal, well then fight him, jones legacy already set but a jones victory over Tom would cement him as one of the all time great athletes and GOATS of any sports GOAT
Stipe obviously old and hasn’t fought in years, but Jon looked dominant as ever and hasn’t skipped a beat, i haven’t watched any of Tom’s fights in full but jon looks as good as ever, he can win
Nope..Aspinall is NOT that important.
Love you Jonny Bones! Keep representing Christ and do your thing!
Well done Jones Dave from Australia
Jon vs Francis... Riyadh Season would be dope 🤔
If Jones agree to fight Alex at light heavyweight let’s fucking go!!!
has to be at HW
In a what world does the lineal and interim Champion not unify??
Confessing Jesus Christ is one thing. People do that all the time. Your life determines whether you are a follower of Jesus Christ or not.
Jon made Stipe look like his junior. He destroyed the uncle🤭

Jesus story is a myth. Religion is fake.
It's fun watching Jon attempt to be a person.
JONES is a different human!!!
If he actually fights Tom, then he did an amazing job setting this all up and negotiating it
Longed lives the king 👑 Johnny Bones Jones 💪🏿 💯 🐐
He wants the alex fight. We want Tom fight. Why not both and then retire
more people buy the Pereira 3X champ quest ppv
The way this man is dodging tom is just sad.
dodging him to fight Pereira 😂 take a lap

John jones wanted this hype up the fight for a good pay day even he loses but we all know wat is gonna happen to tom aspinal
If and when Jon fights Aspinal, weeks and days leading to the fight is when Mr big mouth and overated Aspinal will realise the psuenami of beating coming his way.... Jon is a destroyer and there are too many skills and attack to watch, punches, elbows, kicks, head shots everything..... it's just too much for anybody honestly.
Good thing jon loves $$$, he'll def fight tom for 5-10 mil
