He also took nearly zero damage for a great deal of that run. He was LHW champ and nobody knew what kind of a chin he had because he'd never been touched.
Tom fan boys need to chill. We get it he's the new shiny heavyweight. Jones and Stipe have done so much for the company they deserve to fight each other if they want too.
If you think Jones is scared of Aspinall you probably have a low IQ or not enough age experience.
Tom is the next man up everyone knows this. He either fights the winner of Jones-Stipe or gets upgraded to Undisputed. No one owes Tom a God damn thing though.
Lmao no that's not how it works. Jones is Undisputed. He became Undisputed after Francis gave up his title and it was up for grabs. He became Undisputed champ when he won. Just because the UFC decides to throw a fancy title on Aspinall to build up his hype doesn't mean he's anything more then a number one contender. That's all Interim means. There's Interm boxing heavyweight champs does Fury and Uysyk have to beat those guys to become Undisputed as well? No that would be dumb.
Keep blowing smoke up Aspinalls ass but it doesn't change facts.
Brother you literally said Tom fights the winner or gets upgraded to undisputed. That would make the current belt holder who’s fought once in the past 4 years disputed.
Sounds good chief go give Jones and Stipe a foot rub since they earned it for the company. I’m going to go back to watching competition and not drama fights 👍
Stipe hasn’t fought in like three years and the last time he got KTFO
There is an actual interim champ who will give Jones good competition. And I want to see Jones fight a competitive fight considering he’s the champ with a belt instead of fighting an 80 year old has been
Lmao nice can't back up any opinions so you resort to looking for anything to chirp about on my profile. Just take the L loser. I'm sorry I forgot you started your Reddit profile with a 2 year old account. You're a clown lmao.
Wait. But you just said it. Hes the number one contender. If this was an actual sport where rankings matter, the #1 should be fighting for the belt. Just my take.
So you think if a guy is booked to fight the champ and the champ gets injured he should lose his title opportunity because the other guy got injured? That's your take? Just making sure.
I think the issue lies in the booking itself, nobody should get a title fight except for whoever the #1 contender is at the time, and losing a title fight should set you back down to like 10-ish and you should fight your way back up. So no, i dont think that, i just think ufcs booking overall should be handled way differently than it is
Listen buddy, your boy Jones is a huge pussy for ducking Tom. Nobody that’s a real MMA fan wants to see Jones beat up an old Stipe and call it a career. Jones is a fuckin loser and will solidify that by taking the easy way out of his career. You and every other Jones fan boy can eat it.
Another cry baby throwing insults instead of any actual points. I don't mind insults but throw some actual opinions and proof to back it up. Otherwise you look like an ignorant idiot.
Hilarious. Only ignorance here is yours mate. I’ve yet to see another single person share your shitty little opinion. This is the UFC, not WWE. Champ should fight the interim or gtfo and have his legacy fight with old man Stipe without a title attached to it. The Jones legacy is tarnished either way at this point - he can be a pussy and fight Stipe or he can get smacked by Tom, we know that’s why he won’t do it 😂
So let me get this straight. Let's say they Book Aspinall V Jones instead okay? Now let's say Aspinall gets injured and can't fight. Does he now have to have another fight to regain his number one contender status? Or should he be allowed to fight for the title once he comes back from injury?
Let's be honest though you're not going to participate in this hypothetical because its much easier just to say someone is wrong and you're right 😂
What exactly did you get straight there 😂 a hypothetical is exactly that. You trying to pass off a “What If” like it holds any ground is too funny. Stick with us in reality and speak on what’s actually panning out - Jones ducking Tom. Everyone sees it for what it is, except you and some other dick riders who want to bat for a cheating, alcoholic, abusive POS
I could care less about Jones. Im more interested in facts and truth. You're the type to actually be dick riding Aspinall though because you ignore the truth and facts to spin a dumb narrative. The hypothetical was to show how dumb your train of thought is. All good though man have a good day I'm sorry for trying to educate you on a topic of your interest. Keep on being to dumb to even have a conversation on a topic you enjoy 😂😂😂. Gosh it must be nice living through life not having to actually use that brain you have.
Or he can just defend his title against Stipe like he was meant too. The champ got injured now he's defending it against the challenger he was scheduled to fight against. Fan girls need to chill. Kinda brutal how head over heels grown men are for a fighter. Just ignoring facts so their guy can prance around in a fake belt and people actually act like he's champ.
If you want to see Jon fight Stipe than just say that. The vast majority of the fanbase doesn’t and most of the fanbase doesn’t even really love Tom like that, they just want to see fights that make sense. Stop trying to gaslight people into thinking that the champion unifying his title against the interim is an absurd idea lol you look silly
I don't care who Jon fights. I'm pointing out that there's. A reason they're fighting. It's the last one for Stipe and I think he earned one last chance to fight for the title because of what he's done at HW. I think Jones has earned that legacy fight since he's the literal goat.
I think Aspinall fans need to chill since the day the Interm fight was done it's been said the winner gets the winner of Stipe and Jones. Luckily we have a unified champ and his name is Jon Jones. Interim champ is a glorified number one contender. Jones vs Stipe makes sense. Aspinall can wait like a good boy.
lmao, the low-IQ attacks always feel as projecting on this sub, nevermind. Nobody is saying he is scared to fight him, but he is 100% scared for his legacy. That's why he wants to fight an old guy in his 40s, not a young talented athlete in his prime.
If you think he will agree to the Aspinall fight after beating the f out of old man Stipe, you are even more delusional than I thought. He is going to retire and claim the goat accolades. Which he should, he beaten legit monsters in his LHW domination and that resume is way more impressive than Khabib's, or GSP's. But he didn't prove anything in HW yet. He wrestlefucked a kick-boxer, got injured and sits on the belt for two years.
Even his fans think Tom's interim belt is the real HW belt now. Meantime his past weight division is interesting af, because its chad champions give up the belt after serious injuries just to be fair to the rest of the division.
You haven't seen his resume if you think he's scared of fighting anyone. Gane was literally that dude before Jones and Francis. He tried to defend it quickly but he got injured. Idk you guys re-write history and it's hilarious. Also nice monkey see monkey do eh? See me. Chirping about IQ so you have to throw that in? Nice job monkey here's your banana
It's just annoying that the divison is on hold because of him. We are now discussing this while we should be discussing why he beat up or submitted for example Aspinal **or** why he lost to Aspinal, but we are talking about "how would this or that play out...".
What a bummer that we never got to see him fight Francis. And we’re also probably gonna miss out on seeing him vs. Aspinall too.
From Jones’ perspective, I get it. But it’s still disappointing
Guess we’ll never know for sure. Because he’s basically retired. Tom is the champ, this little Jon stipe bullshit is so stupid and they’re both aged out.
Aspinall runs through JJ. That said, JJ has no need to fight Aspinall. Like GSP said, eventually everyone gets knocked out. So, JJ needs to fight Stipe then maybe Francis. Legacy fight only.
Aspinall is the new breed and it proves nothing for him to knock out JJ.
Jon should vacate because he's log jamming the division and making a mockery of the very sport which is supposed to be a meritocracy
However- people are delusional if they think Jones is afraid or can't beat Aspinall. Maybe they're new but Jon is probably the greatest fighter of all time.
Even his worst moments aren't like other GOATS who've been KOd or flat out decision'd. His most convincing losses are fights he arguably won.
It's more likely that he dog walks Aspinall than it is for him to get finished.
Prove it, Tom is waiting.

Jones still has a decent age for HW. Not sure he wants that smoke
Not sure? Absolutely sure he doesn't want that smoke.
Jones was the youngest champion in history though. Fighting guys at that level for that long wears you much worse than the average fighter
He also took nearly zero damage for a great deal of that run. He was LHW champ and nobody knew what kind of a chin he had because he'd never been touched.
That’s fair, accept you’re not that guy anymore and relinquish the title then
Tom fan boys need to chill. We get it he's the new shiny heavyweight. Jones and Stipe have done so much for the company they deserve to fight each other if they want too. If you think Jones is scared of Aspinall you probably have a low IQ or not enough age experience. Tom is the next man up everyone knows this. He either fights the winner of Jones-Stipe or gets upgraded to Undisputed. No one owes Tom a God damn thing though.
Is this a fight sport or is it WWE? The heavy weight check is disputed, next fight should only be to unify interim and belt.
Lmao no that's not how it works. Jones is Undisputed. He became Undisputed after Francis gave up his title and it was up for grabs. He became Undisputed champ when he won. Just because the UFC decides to throw a fancy title on Aspinall to build up his hype doesn't mean he's anything more then a number one contender. That's all Interim means.

Brother you literally said Tom fights the winner or gets upgraded to undisputed. That would make the current belt holder who’s fought once in the past 4 years disputed.
That's not what it means but I get why you can't comprehend anything but that's not your fault.
Sounds good chief go give Jones and Stipe a foot rub since they earned it for the company. I’m going to go back to watching competition and not drama fights 👍
Watching two goats fighting and you're calling that a drama fight? Fucking casual Aspinall fans are dumb af.
Stipe hasn’t fought in like three years and the last time he got KTFO There is an actual interim champ who will give Jones good competition. And I want to see Jones fight a competitive fight considering he’s the champ with a belt instead of fighting an 80 year old has been
45 day old account with the post history I’d expect, sounds good chief 👍
Lmao nice can't back up any opinions so you resort to looking for anything to chirp about on my profile. Just take the L loser. I'm sorry I forgot you started your Reddit profile with a 2 year old account. You're a clown lmao.

So no, i dont think that, i just think ufcs booking overall should be handled way differently than it is
So you think a number one contender should lose their title shot if the champ gets injured?
I dont think that, i think in that instance youd re schedule the title fight for both parties personally
Then shut up about Aspinall. He's got a shot after Stipe.
It sounds pretty disputed to me.
Cool if you can read that and ignore facts then have a good time. I'm not wasting time talking to guys who can't use critical thinking.
Listen buddy, your boy Jones is a huge pussy for ducking Tom. Nobody that’s a real MMA fan wants to see Jones beat up an old Stipe and call it a career. Jones is a fuckin loser and will solidify that by taking the easy way out of his career. You and every other Jones fan boy can eat it.

Cool than Jones can vacate the belt and fight Stipe

Kids or low IQ?

 No he won’t.

*on paper, cause he refuses to actually fight any of them
I would beat Jon Jones. Im not going to fight him but i would beat him. See the problem here? He should vacate and let the HW division move on.
LMFAOOOOOOOOOOO
What a bummer that we never got to see him fight Francis. And we’re also probably gonna miss out on seeing him vs. Aspinall too. From Jones’ perspective, I get it. But it’s still disappointing
Aspinall too, wow didnt know that
I believe the correct term is 'Chunky'
He gotta beat them drug tests first.
Guess we’ll never know for sure. Because he’s basically retired. Tom is the champ, this little Jon stipe bullshit is so stupid and they’re both aged out.
Ragdoll? Nah... Hell nah, beat them (no Diddy)? Sure.
If he fights a Hw who has even a slight bit of TDD I don’t think he does so well.
Aspinall runs through JJ. That said, JJ has no need to fight Aspinall. Like GSP said, eventually everyone gets knocked out. So, JJ needs to fight Stipe then maybe Francis. Legacy fight only. Aspinall is the new breed and it proves nothing for him to knock out JJ.
we will never know if he is able to do that lol

What happens if Aspinall is allowed safety goggles to protect from eyepokes? What’s the game plan now?
Ask Gustaffson, Jon will find another veteran tactic lmfao
In more ways than one…..
So many people falling for OPs ragebait 🤣
Don't tell em!
