@Picmanreborn bro take yourself out of your own head for two seconds and think about what you’re saying. You’re AGREEING with him but you don’t know it. He’s saying if he was them, he would not have taken those fights. No need to go through what happened in the past, he’s giving you a hypothetical situation. I would love to see him fight Tom as well. Both things can be true. Try it!
But the issue with this logic is the fact that the ONLY one of those guys that gave him a chance was Shogun. The rest of those are guys who were fighting for Jones’ belt. So if anything he gave those guys chances lol.
Then get out of the heavy weight division. You are holding it up cuz you don't want to give the same opportunity to Tom that was given to you many times years ago.
And what makes you think Tom is gonna do better for the heavyweight division? You heard what the goat said "he doesn't deserve it" maybe if Tom would've had 17 title runs then yeah but Tom defend his interim belt. What does that corroborate? Tom hasn't even fought for the undisputed championship and he gets the prerogative to defend the interim belt. There's no history made, he's nowhere near Jon Jones level.
UFC is about entertainement and not about finding the best champion. Competitive integrity has never been their thing sadly, even if they say the opposite.
Exactly, to be the best, you gotta fight the best. Even if he’s much younger than you, as long as you’re still actively fighting, it’s what they pay you for.

he's not scared of Tom in particular just knows there's a high chance of losing an scared it will tarnish his legacy. That being said Jon Jones is a coward inside the octagon and especially outside the octagon.
We want to see Ngannou vs Jones vs Pereira vs Aspinal I dont care Who figths who ! They are at this moment the best fighter’s, so I want to see the best with best. But Ngannou is out soo it’s jus pereira jones and aspinall.
@@wtfoffmyhe implied it by saying he’s more dangerous. Just give him the belt and move on to Pereira. However commercially it makes sense for him to keep it and beat Pereira.
I agree, however these numbers are all not factual. Another commentor has pointed out its about 6 years difference in age and about 10lb max difference between these too, althought I belive Aspinal is slighty taller. He seems to prefer to fight guys that are smaller. You can see it when he faced Francis, where he tried to make himself bigger but realized he has no chance, because hevyweights are built different, bigger and usally taller than him
Yes absolutely this is what I was thinking as he speak. He fought everyone with the advantage of size anf length. They may say hes not afraid of tom but he is still a coward
The champ is meant to fight the best in the division. Jones cherry picked a pure striker in Gane (never a champ, dodged Aspinal, never fought a grappler and was fast tracked to no.1 contender) after having his ego bruised with a controversial win and robbery against Reyes. Still he's cherry picking fights willing to give the belt to Aspinal so he can fight another pure striker in Poatan it's actually pitiful. This is our MJ ladies and gents. 😂
@@Dunston1992-u4x I know the definition of a cult. I didn't state that it is a Jon Jones cult, but there are some similarities. There is one big leader (Jon), with his unique and exclusive beliefs (I am the goat, people don't deserve chances to fight me). In some sense the Jon Jones cultists act like if they've been brainwashed. He fought DC when he was 30 and DC was 38. This is true for many of his fights. Look it up. Yet he avoids fighting Aspinall. Jones cultists don't want their beliefs challenged and they are talking like little Jones parrots, like a mantra.
Jon seems more lucid and articulate than ever… I wonder if he completely cleaned up from all of his partying. He just seems so much more together and coherent now ✊🏻
That's DCs loss. In jones eyes I guess. The young ones can call you our to get one over on you but you can also say no. If you say yes their hands are washed and they can look good beating you cos you were stupid enough, but just cos you were stupid enough to fight younger guys and risk your legacy doesn't mean I have to. That was your mistakes, a trap and you fell for it. I think that's why he initially left lhw after the reyez fight too to be honest. I think that's a bit of his mentality
And Jones was more athletically gifted, taller with a more significant reach advantage. Still DC gave a run for his money on both the fights. He also kicked ass in the heavyweight division when a lot of good guys were in their prime, ducked no one and fought when Stipe was in his prime.Still few people give DC his props in the MMA community. Smh.
Never heard tom aspinal callout francis ngannou 😂😂 i bet your gonna say " well hes not in the ufc nomore" who gives a fuck he can still come back and aspinal could call him out but doesnt cuz we know why 😂
If Jon fights Tom and beats him then they’ll just move on to the next guy to say he’s scared of… And then the next guy and the next. It never ends until they see you defeated. They’ll even keep chasing Mayweather until he’s 60.
@@CLANK... his job is to fight, and he’s done a fantastic job at that. Dudes ready to retire. The amount of time to prep for one fight and then the turnaround for any injuries is even longer. He said he would give the title up, it means nothing to him. What happens if he beats Tom? He continues to hold the belt he doesn’t give a shit about?
At what age DC started MMA ? 30 … When did John start fighting in MMA ? 21 . Jones had more wear and tear on his body at 30 than DC at 36 … You are a clown who never stepped a foot in a Martial Arts gym
Randy Couture weighed in at 222.5 lbs when he came out of retirement to fight Tim Sylvia, who weighed in at 263, and beat him for the undisputer heavyweight belt. THAT is legacy.
You forgot that Randy was almost 44 years old. So for the people counting Stipe out because he's old........dont be so sure, that man is STILL dangerous af.
@Stayup4661 Irrelevant. The "GOAT" built his legacy on fighting people older than himself, but his excuse for ducking Tom is that Tom is younger and heavier? Tim was dangerous at heavyweight, Randy didn't care and wasn't afraid to fight him.
@ He lost to Reyes.. He needed roids for all of his wins. The second he’s challenged by someone actually willing to fight, he loses? It’s by his own standard that his legacy is nothing. Because he thinks its bs if he has to fight someone younger..
Tom hasn’t prove nothing in his career yet? Doesn’t seem he’s ducking or scared cause Tom is literally the interim Champion he haven’t proved nothing yet
That's all I'm hearing lol. His legacy is already tarnished by his own hands. He doesn't want to fight Aspinall because he can actually wrestle as to where Poatan is more of a striker.
@@KL-xe5ec His purse doesn't have shit to do with this nor is it any concern of mine or yours for that matter lol. We're merely spectators. Aspinall is interim champ. Jones is the current champ. That's how these things go. It would be highly unfair to not give Tom his title shot.
Then why won't he fight him if he's a nobody and isn't dangerous? If it's easy win for him shouldn't be any excuses. Two decades or not..Goats fight, right? Champions fight interns right?
@@nonyabusiness6084 if you know so much, you’d know that in the heavyweight division, there is no cap. Meaning there could be a fighter that is 205 (a heavyweight) yet fighting against a fighter who is 255 (a heavyweight). You get it?? 🤡
You can’t hold the heavyweight title and refuse to fight the top heavyweight contenders, JJ is being entitled and delusional. Vacate the belt or act like the champion you claim to be.
He don't care about the belt Dana gave it back to him to try and bait him into fighting Aspinall but prob is he beat Tom then they'll find another nobody to gaslight and say he's ducking
Ya he can and Dana will let him decide. 16-1 and 12 Title defenses says he can. Until you draw as many people as him your opinion absolutely doesn't matter
He can retire...who gives a toss about his fricken legacy..wife beaters,drug cheat..l don't care if he ever fights again.. sick of hearing him winge. Tom deserves his title shot. Eye pokes too.
ONE Championship is one of the best in my opinion, their fighters don't choose their opponents, and to be the best you have to fight the best. And ONE fighters are amazing, muaythai, kickboxing and MMA.
You are not supposed to say this out loud.😂 what you meant to say was: UFC is the best, has the best fans and there is no tribalism at all amongst them. There!
Not one opponent Jones ever been in the cage with he chose. He fought Gane because Ngannou vacated and Gane became the #1 ranked HW. He fought Stipe because Stipe asked for the winner of Jones/Ngannou/Gane before there was an interim. Now he wants to choose how he ends his career against risky opponents and people have a problem but perfectly fine with Mcgregor and George St Pierre cherrypicking winnable fights.
he was under contract to fight stipe for the last year. fact remains, fans just want to see Jones fed to an up and coming phenom (Reyes, gane, aspinall) over and over until he loses.
@nightbreed6 he was the young guy beating on older smaller guys his whole career, besides what type of goat cherry picks fights as soon as guys are his size
@@armandoflores2974You're saying nothing new everybody has watched the fight that isn't a casual Ray is won the fight three rounds to two and if anybody says that John didn't win to they themselves did not watch the fight. Reyes should have got the win but don't tell people to go back and watch Jones versus Reyes that's what everybody's been saying for like the last 5 years. It's nothing new.
"If you really want to see me actually compete in the sport I am the 'GOAT' in, then send me someone I'm confident I can beat, not someone who can beat me."
Nah he saying win lose or draw the fight that adds money and more important to his legacy is the 1 he wants to fight but ur to close minded to see his ppint cuz u rewlly think he scared
He was honest about the business aspect but mistaken when he talked about his legacy.. Tom isn't a nobody, and if he beat Tom, it would cement him as the true heavyweight champion, not the guy who ducked the most dangerous heavyweight.
@@Psych1_- What business aspect? The guy asked him “if the figures make sense” he still refused. He’d fight Periera for half of whatever they offer him for Aspinall. Besides, Aspinall is the money fight the press conference we’re chanting his name and it’s the only fight anyone’s talking about
Wow- I admire his straightforwardness. I knew he was scared of Aspinall, I never thought I'd hear him say it. Good for him. Alex Peirera is a quality opponent, and when he wins, HIS legacy will be cemented.
It's not about you being "so good," it's about unifying the belt in the division you've been holding up. Claiming you're not ducking while giving a literal play-by-play of you ducking is next level absurd.
@@JayWest14hes the GOAT either way, but this will certainly be a mark against him. Eventually some people will have legacies were close to jon. Topuria, islam, or tom coupd be those guys. And when we start having that GOAT discussion this will be brought up.
I don't believe Dana is going to give Jon a fight with Alex. If Jon Bones Jones wants to continue to be the UFC heavyweight champion. It appears that he's going to have to fight Aspinall. That's what Dana wants, and that's what the fans want. Personally, I would like to see a Jones vs.Aspinall fight. I wouldn't bet against Jon Bones Jones.
Exactly, late 20s and early 30s are actually more prime than early 20s. Floyd Mayweather at 36 dominated a 23 year old Canelo. People will make excuses no matter if their favorite fighter is younger or older when they lose.
Jon Jones will fight aspinall I think you just once Pereira first so he has more time to train for aspinall... I may be wrong but I don't think Jon Jones is scared of him, I think he being smart. Or I'm wrong.
We can't just "let Jones move on", he's holding the title, and Tom is the Interim and has been the Interim for a while. The Stipe fight should never have been made and when postponed, it should have been pushed aside instead. Interim is next on the list, Jones understands that when holding the title, to be a champion you must adhere to the rules, so no he can't just break the rules and everyone be okay with it
@@auraan__ lol what do you mean holding up the title. The Stipe fight was planned long before Aspinall got to interm. How is the UFC going to push aside a fight as big as Jones vs Stepe.. make some sense please.
Lol, exaclty, wht did he excpect moving up to hevayweight? Just becuase he sucks at gaining muscle weight he now is complaining that Tom i too big? What a joke
"If you want to see me REALLY challenged, get me to actually give a response to this question that people dont just roll their eyes at" If he'd fought Tom and lost, his legacy would be hugely intact. It is now destroyed. And that is heartbreaking for such a talented man.
@@MoistMann And this fight will? Hah, I'm convinced Dana lies about the numbers since Conors departure. No one wants this fight nor cares about it. At this point Tyson vs Paul is bigger than this fight, honestly. Yep I'll be watching both, while paying for neither like most of us here.
@MoistMann a champion that was considered not the real champion due to jon not actually losing his belt in a fight which made people care way less until there was actually a rivalry then jon took roids and the gane fight easily sold 1 mil ppv and gane doesn't fight and is just not that good in mma but it still sold just fine stop glazing jon you know he'd lose lol
@@Deivesonfiggysson you using the word glazing tells me all I need to know. Another young new gen z mma fan. Everyone knows this because the test results are public. A grain of sand in the desert is what they found. It had no performance enhancing at all. You’re another hater. Hating on 15 title defences
Bruh I get you want to see him fight Tom and so do I, but you literally jumped off the deep end with one of the worst analogies I’ve ever heard in my life. So you totally disregard Bones has beaten more world champions than anyone in UFC history…lol smh wow!! Respectfully FYI analogies are only good when they actually match up.
@@daweeza42 glad we agree on something. It's cool, i can't expect everyone to universally understand what i said and if you can't see my point for whatever reason then it's honestly fine. You're not stupid for not getting it, you probably just don't care deeply enough past the surface level to understand my point.
@ Lol yea and none of them dudes Jon fought had a resume like Jon currently has. I get it as people we are all selfish and want what we want. But in my book Jon Jones has beyond earned the right to call his own shots of who he fights. If Dana doesn’t make it happen he’ll probably just retire. It’s always a great feeling to have leverage lol.
@@daweeza42 as far i am concerned aspinall is the current heavyweight UFC champion and Jones is just lingering around holding a belt he is gatekeeping. If you're not taking on all challengers and defending the title then you're not champion. At this point most UFC fans probably have more respect for tony Ferguson as a true fighter than Jones.
I say at this stage in his career, his talent and skills should be ready to take on ALL challenges, I bet someone will get lucky and Jones knows that. He is saying he won’t take on fighters that does nothing for him, take on the entire roster to prove to the mma fans just how good he really is. Leave no doubt before he retires. That would shut down any conversation of Jones being the best.
Aspinall wins that fight easily right now. Jon Jones is scared of getting knocked out, and I don't blame him, I would be too. But the champ shouldn't get to choose his opponents, you fight who ever is next in line, period. If you can't defend your title then retire!
@@DavidKingonYT That's not true lol. Aspinall can wrestle. If Jones thought he could win, he wouldn't be making so many excuses to avoid fighting him. Even he knows what will happen.
He’s only an interim because Jon was injured. And since Jon is coming back Tom is no longer an Interim champ. So all you Aspinall riders live up this interim belt because when Jon steps in that octagon Tom is stripped of the interim
@@MoistMannthat’s really not how it works, Tom is interim till Jon grows a set and fights him or the more likely option Jon vacates and Tom gets made full champ.
THIS! I get his point and I can understand why he thinks that way but the dude has some terrible definition of legacy. All this Aspinall fiasco is hurting his legacy more than anything
Nah the same thing happened to TYSON in 96, stripped of the WBC belt coz he don't wanna defend against the Mandatory LENNOX ,he wants Seldon instead, nobody said shit then.. Now Jones" a Duck..
Lol yall really be in the moment.. if tom wins he beat the goat.. if jon wins he just beat tom.. that’s a high risk low reward situation.. like he said alex has more accolades so it would make more sense.. but I think its just the people that hate jones and thinks tom can beat him that are calling jon a duck.. cause I mean lets be real jon the goat but he like the bron of the ufc.. he gets just as much hate as the love.
Jon follows a saying that goes like this " never fight anyone stronger or even the same strength as you when you dont have to." he only fights when he knows he has a advantage
“Business wise it makes more sense.” At this point of his career…his point is spot on. Fight the guy who is hot as fish grease right now….and it’s an instant ufc classic. Would be bigger than the fights against Izzy
Pereira is a way more exciting fight....way more exciting....Jones will dominate Aspinall and nobody will care anymore ..everybody will just say he wasn't as good as we thought...just like Cyril gane...everybody thought he was the man before they fought.... Pereira is the superstar Conor was....that's the big fight, and Pereira will end up beating Aspinall and then it will mean way more that he had fought Alex.

The casuals and regulars are tired of his “I’m the goat I don’t really need to prove anything” arguments. When he goes back in time to slap the peds out of his hands then I’ll say undoubtedly the ufc goat. But GSP and Mighty Mouse are both ahead of him in terms of UFC. As a fighter he’s top 2 but after considering the ufc rules you can’t says he’s the undisputed goat

I'd personally maybe put him in top 5 but probably not honestly. Quite a few you could put above him. He's been a joke for a while, had a few questionable fights at lhw, was always a dirty fighter and his one heavy weight fight total he's had was a complete joke.

"So basically you're saying you're scared of Tom?"
That's the reply no one said.
If the video were to play on, the reporter would say, What are you, a 🐔?
Except every one is saying it just not to his face
Its simply because he never in any way said he waa scared
@@wtfoffmyhe implied it by saying he’s more dangerous. Just give him the belt and move on to Pereira. However commercially it makes sense for him to keep it and beat Pereira.
Well it seems there's a little bit of fear from what he's saying.
30 lbs heavier plus much younger, sounds like Jon against most of his opponents throughout his career.
I agree, however these numbers are all not factual. Another commentor has pointed out its about 6 years difference in age and about 10lb max difference between these too, althought I belive Aspinal is slighty taller. He seems to prefer to fight guys that are smaller. You can see it when he faced Francis, where he tried to make himself bigger but realized he has no chance, because hevyweights are built different, bigger and usally taller than him
Yes absolutely this is what I was thinking as he speak. He fought everyone with the advantage of size anf length. They may say hes not afraid of tom but he is still a coward

The champ is meant to fight the best in the division. Jones cherry picked a pure striker in Gane (never a champ, dodged Aspinal, never fought a grappler and was fast tracked to no.1 contender) after having his ego bruised with a controversial win and robbery against Reyes. Still he's cherry picking fights willing to give the belt to Aspinal so he can fight another pure striker in Poatan it's actually pitiful. This is our MJ ladies and gents. 😂

@@Dunston1992-u4x I know the definition of a cult. I didn't state that it is a Jon Jones cult, but there are some similarities. There is one big leader (Jon), with his unique and exclusive beliefs (I am the goat, people don't deserve chances to fight me). In some sense the Jon Jones cultists act like if they've been brainwashed. He fought DC when he was 30 and DC was 38. This is true for many of his fights. Look it up. Yet he avoids fighting Aspinall. Jones cultists don't want their beliefs challenged and they are talking like little Jones parrots, like a mantra.
Jon seems more lucid and articulate than ever… I wonder if he completely cleaned up from all of his partying. He just seems so much more together and coherent now ✊🏻
He’s a pathological Narcissist dude.
Never heard him give DC props for fighting someone almost a decade younger than him
If Stipe KO’s this 🦆 and retires it’ll be one of the best nights in MMA.
That's DCs loss.
In jones eyes I guess. The young ones can call you our to get one over on you but you can also say no. If you say yes their hands are washed and they can look good beating you cos you were stupid enough, but just cos you were stupid enough to fight younger guys and risk your legacy doesn't mean I have to. That was your mistakes, a trap and you fell for it.
I think that's why he initially left lhw after the reyez fight too to be honest. I think that's a bit of his mentality
And Jones was more athletically gifted, taller with a more significant reach advantage. Still DC gave a run for his money on both the fights. He also kicked ass in the heavyweight division when a lot of good guys were in their prime, ducked no one and fought when Stipe was in his prime.Still few people give DC his props in the MMA community. Smh.

DC was undefeated when he faced John still in his prime.
This should all simply be settled by ranking. If Jones and Aspinall are #1 and #2, they should have to fight.

ONE Championship is one of the best in my opinion, their fighters don't choose their opponents, and to be the best you have to fight the best. And ONE fighters are amazing, muaythai, kickboxing and MMA.
You are not supposed to say this out loud.😂 what you meant to say was: UFC is the best, has the best fans and there is no tribalism at all amongst them. There!
Not one opponent Jones ever been in the cage with he chose. He fought Gane because Ngannou vacated and Gane became the #1 ranked HW. He fought Stipe because Stipe asked for the winner of Jones/Ngannou/Gane before there was an interim. Now he wants to choose how he ends his career against risky opponents and people have a problem but perfectly fine with Mcgregor and George St Pierre cherrypicking winnable fights.

“Business wise it makes more sense.” At this point of his career…his point is spot on. Fight the guy who is hot as fish grease right now….and it’s an instant ufc classic. Would be bigger than the fights against Izzy
That only adds spice to the fight, the fact that Jon feels insecure to fight against Tom... that makes the fight so much worthy of watching.
Fighting a LHW with bad grappling vs a HW contender who's a force in the division.
If anybody says Jones isn't ducking Tom aspinal then you are deffo deluded he basically just admitted it
Alex is a way more dangerous and exciting fight
🦆 Quack
@@turkish-delightclueless - he would wrestle and sub Alex in one. Tom is a nightmare match up for him
Pereira is a way more exciting fight....way more exciting....Jones will dominate Aspinall and nobody will care anymore ..everybody will just say he wasn't as good as we thought...just like Cyril gane...everybody thought he was the man before they fought.... Pereira is the superstar Conor was....that's the big fight, and Pereira will end up beating Aspinall and then it will mean way more that he had fought Alex.
@@turkish-delightamen
He just reminded me of Lebron when he said "business-wise".. 😂😂😂
What a smart and indirect way of saying that you’re not the fighter you used to be. I can respect that he just wants to go on his terms.
So go.. he is holding up the entire division.
@@nathanoneill2362that’s the point, it’s not fair to sit with the title and not fight the best fighters coming up and give them the chance to be champion. That’s how SPORTS WORK.
I respect if he doesn’t want to fight Tom but he should vacate the belt if he don’t want that fight.
@@BobaFett66 exactly not wanting to fight Tom aspinall is something you can’t blame anyone for. But he can’t have the belt if he doesn’t your the only sane person on here x
@@joeshanks971 yeah Tom is very dangerous and he is young, even I wouldn’t want to fight Tom if I was Jon but you can’t hold up the division. Just vacate the belt and have a fight with Alex for a fat paycheck
Y’all are crazy and just dont like jones. Jones is the best subtle fight hype man alive. He’s raising the price for the fight. He’s getting to the money, by trolling his haters and massaging the other fighters ego. A few of you never read “The Art of War”.
He was 30 when he fought dc who was 37 and he doesn't want to give Tom a shot.
He's a complete joke now
Fair points…would like to see both
Man this comment section is cooking Jones with his own words and making him eat his own career. LAUGHS!!!!! Love it!
Beating Aspinall and cementing yourself as the man is quite a big stamp on a legacy imo
Beaten dude does nothing for his legacy
THAT doesnt cement his legacy. Just say you think Aspinall can beat him and you want to see him lose.
@@gjwilliams4098Well Aspinall is better than all the guys who had close fights with Jon so...
The casuals and regulars are tired of his “I’m the goat I don’t really need to prove anything” arguments. When he goes back in time to slap the peds out of his hands then I’ll say undoubtedly the ufc goat. But GSP and Mighty Mouse are both ahead of him in terms of UFC. As a fighter he’s top 2 but after considering the ufc rules you can’t says he’s the undisputed goat
Everyone is a fan of DJ. He is a GOAT but If you don’t think GSP was on steroids you are delusional 😂 Everyone in the sport does it, it’s who gets away with it
@@HarshTruth711Cope for what ? If you take steroids you are not a real fighter, you had to cheat to gain an advantage. COPE WITH THE FACT YOUR GOAT HAD TO INJECT NEEDLES INTO HIS ASSHOLE TO WIN SOME OF HIS FIGHTS😂 Also steroids are not legal in the UFC what he tested for is still illegal.
I'd personally maybe put him in top 5 but probably not honestly. Quite a few you could put above him. He's been a joke for a while, had a few questionable fights at lhw, was always a dirty fighter and his one heavy weight fight total he's had was a complete joke. If it was anyone else in his position there wouldn't be anyone debating against his illegitimacy
@@HarshTruth711 12-6 elbows are now legal no one gives a fuck if they made murder legal tomorrow every murder that happened today is still murder retard
@@HarshTruth711 Legal now? Why does this matter and why do you lose your self defending this criminal? He still cheated, just becuase the rules might be different now does not change the rules prior.
He didn’t say “I will not fight that guy”. His stance on this is solid
Legacy used to mean that a fighter fought every threat in their division and beat them all.
"Legacy" for Jon Jones means fighting fights that make the most money
Dude you are 8 years younger than DC. Hypocrisy much?
Nobody wants to see John vs Alex
If jones beats aspinall and pereira beats ankalaev why not but not before
I would 😂
Speak for yourself
Yeah I do lol
Bullshit yea we do
Tbh I like that Jones is openly admitting he's ducking. He's right. It makes no sense to risk it. At least he's open about it unlike countless others.
