[@AndyMcGhee-qf8sf]

@@BurnerTurnerI would love to know exactly how a fighter who has run 8 points wins in his last 11 stretching back to 2013 - in an mma where his chief sycophant Dana White tells OTHER fighters to “never leave it in the hands of the judges’ - can possibly be ‘that good’ ? Many of those tepid points struggles came against fighters blasted out by OTHER guys (Gus, Santos, Reyes and Smith ALL dealt with FAR easier by other less celebrated fighters). Think any non-US fighter posting THOSE sorry stats would ever be called the GOAT ? Indeed, if it was a red-hot young US stud being shut-out by a long-reigning, points-frequent Brit then how much hate do you think the US media and fans would have for that Brit as he ducked the red hot young Yank ? It’s scary to even think about it 😮 Jon Jones SHOULD embarrass you as an American (and if you are not American then shame on you even more). Such reluctance - ESPECIALLY when you endlessly troll/diss the guy you are running from - reminds me of that other 24 carat American coward who tore apart another title to also avoid a scary Brit (Bowe and the Lennox Lewis who terrified him). Jon is a FLAT TRACK BULLY scared to fight guys he doubts/knows he can’t defeat - not a real fighter who sees such contests as a challenge. You want to idolise him ? Go ahead. Some of us have FAR higher standards we hold OUR heroes to.

Fan Theory: The reason they wanted Jon vs Stipe is because of francis ngannou. They wanted to make Jon to be this heavyweight GOAT and nobody ever thinks about Francis. They can get one more out of an old guy like stipe that Jon could most likely beat and use it to say Jon beat the Heavyweight Goat and build him up then feed him to Tom Aspianll and let Tom carry the torch or if Tom loses its okay to lose to the Greatest of all time and Jon becomes mythic and adds the the UFC Lore.

he also has tapped out and quit in a fight and well had bad luck with that injury. with that being said Jon has always found a way to win and Teddy atlas compared him to usyk who has the same ability that simply can be taught. Toms a phenom it seems but Jon tends to find a way. its a great fight.
