I hoped UFC would have learned their lesson from GSP’s smash and grab of the MW title. From now on I only hope they put the integrity of the sport and the belts before everything else. They might lose out in the short term, but UFC turning world titles into vanity belts is ultimately why I’m paying far less attention than I used to and why people are turning away.

[@starseeddeluxe]

If Jon accepts the Aspinall fight, the UFC needs to produce a full Hollywood level documentary about Jon Jones and Tom Aspinall, and market them as the best fighters in UFC history. Tom can be marketed as the single fastest heavyweight knockout artist. Also, schedule a Jon Jones dolly attack over in England. 😂

So many flawed arguments by luke here, not sure why the strong bias: "If Jon beats Aspinal he is the best ever"? My man he is the best over and not even close with GSP a far second. Are we rewriting history? "Jon looks at Tom as a risk" Yes he literally said that, he wants more reward for a risk he doesn't like this ain't rocket science If you want him to take the fight push that they find a reasonable deal to both parties as you believe he is an underdog so give the oldman his farewell pension for his 15years of service as an amazing champion.

[@artofmartialcinemaamc5334]

Bro he got like 12-15M to fight Stipe and shouldn't get higher base pay to fight Tom, MAYBE higher PPV points but that's assuming he doesn't get 5+ ppv dollars per sale which is massive, that's a guaranteed 20M+ payday for Jones. Ngannou would never see that money in 1 UFC fight unless it's against Jones/Aspinall imo.

[@ot8030]

Jon is on his way out at the tail end of his career. My country man Aspinall is the great white hope to dethrone this brotha Jon Jones, some people simply cannot rest at night knowing this man is the GOAT. Jones has made it possible for UFC to pull massive revenue making it possible for upcoming talents to have opportunities, yet there is so much hatred for this athlete.

[@starseeddeluxe]

The more I think about this; I think Tom might lose to Jon. Tom has less experience under the bright lights and he could be mentally defeated from the shear magnitude of the fight. His weakness is that he has extreme anxiety in the opening minutes of the fight. Tom will need to stay calm and not put so much pressure on himself. Jon can't beat Tom Aspinall in the gym. But under the bright lights, it's possible.

[@revo1974]

"Jones has made it possible for UFC to pull massive revenue" Ummm no, that would be GSP and Conor, not Jon.

[@mattm9619]

I don't think Jon is even a very popular UFC fighter or a big draw. A lot of people hate him but a lot just don't care. But to say Jon made it possible to pull massive revenue is utterly ridiculous. There were great guys before him that laid the foundation and there were much bigger stars than him at his peak.

Sipe was not a ghost. John made him look like a ghost Away with this nonsense that he hadn’t farted four years, John only fought once in three years himself. And at the age difference matters in that fight then you should apply the same logic to John fighting Tom. He’s eight years older than Tom and has a lot more miles on his body. He’s been in a lot more wars so give John the same grace that you’re giving.stipe

I just hope and pray that Saudi throw and extra 10-20m at it, just to make it happen (it would have to take place in Saudi unfortunately) but I think if that happens, Jones still says no. At least then no one can argue that he isn’t ducking.

@@bigmic1972It does not matter what he wants. The champion must fight and beat the top contender to remain champion.

You could use the same argument for JJ at LHW once he went through the last generations legends. HW is different- a dominant UFC HW champion is without doubt the baddest man on the planet. Jones has never pulled amazing ppv numbers given he is the GOAT. And Aspinall is already relevant. His name was chanted at the 309 presser ffs. Is that not an indicator of relevance?

[@petermcgrath6260]

Jon lacks knock out power, my opinion is! Jon does get hit, Tom will hit Jon so fucking hard it will be all over in 3.30 seconds!

[@mxbblife_mu]

Tom has to catch him first... Jones is one of the hardest people in the UFC to hit clean... Literally 30 fights in MMA and not one guy has been able to put him down with a punch to the face.... If Aspinall thinks Jon is the average sloppy no defense one-dimensional striking heavyweight....Tom is in for a Really rude awakening.

[@petermcgrath6260]

@ of all Jon’s fights the hammer Santos really made Jon blink, I think Tom has plenty of that! Anyway hope we get to find out, come on Jon make it happen! Maybe I think Toms better than is!

[@mxbblife_mu]

@@petermcgrath6260 Something was weird about Jones in that fight, Out of all Jones fight, that was the only fight that he didn't try to use his Wrestling even once, he must have been injured.

[@petermcgrath6260]

@ Hard to make anything of it. As Coner would say Stipe was stook in the moood!!

[@mxbblife_mu]

@petermcgrath6260 EVERYBODY looks stuck in the mud after getting taken down by Jones in the first round without being finished.... People Like using Stipe's age as an excuse but the same thing happened to 29 year old Shogun. He got taken down, out muscled and beaten up and the rest of the fight he looked like he was fighting underwater.

[@TMoneyIncorporated]

lol Luke is normally very balanced on most takes but geez he’s going scorched earth on Jones

[@Apex0489]

There is no way Jones fight Aspinall. Jones will price himself out.

[@davidjohnson3143]

I don't remember all this bitching when GSP was ducking 🦆

[@TripleA679]

It's called Ducking, a practice that has existed in boxing for a long time, two most common techniques that the Duck will do to not fight the top contender are, 1. Relinquish the title 2. Price themselves out. It is much easier to solve in UFC than in boxing, Boxing is a sport that is not centralised like the UFC, and there are 4 different main organisations that offer titles, there is no one main body that gives the final decision like in the UFC, it's all on Dana, if Jon The Duck Jones doesn't want to fight the top contender in the division than the most logical thing to do is just give up the title and go back to light heavyweight, there's no shame in that, just stop wasting everybody's time by pricing himself out on amounts of $$$ knowingly that the UFC won't cross.

[@m.j.e.5245]

Can you give some boxing examples?

[@TripleA679]

@m.j.e.5245 Canelo Alvarez currently ducking David Benavidez, demanding 100 to 150 million for the fight - pricing himself out, Benavidez was the top contender for the WBC title for 3 years, Riddick Bowe famously relinquish his heavyweight title just to avoid fighting the top contender of that time - Lennox Lewis. The Klitschko brothers went on years ducking any chance of fighting Evander Holyfield. These are a few famous examples.

[@georgevanderschyff8422]

He admitted the risk of fighting young and dangerous fighters like Tom. For an unbeaten record this is high risk for his precious ego and legacy. Hence the big paycheck. Alex is a safer bet, he will beat Alex and if he loses to him well then he got beat by another potential GOAT. He’s using Alex to lever a bigger paycheck. I want to see Tom fight, we all do. I hope Dana doesn’t want to go back on his word.

[@ForrealMwangi]

Jon is going to put Aspinall on his back in the first round and everybody is going to act like suprise pikachu

[@newwbein]

And then they’re gonna throw another great white hype his way

[@Axiohm000]

Jon 🦆🦆 Jones

[@raulmedina6223]

And if it did happen, Jones would pull out later

[@HP23569]

Jones says fighting Aspinall does nothing for him, that is bollocks!

[@dirtylaundrymedia]

Love watching y'all scraping and scrambling because Jon gets to choose who he fights. If he fights.

[@SimonMooreChannel]

Just like Jones, I ain't afraid of nobody either, I'll fight anyone for 100 million.

[@amankumarmishra6926]

Jon has every right to demand FU money. Give him that and then let's see if he ducks Tom. He will destroy Tom in the first round by submission.

[@Gooniessss]

Turki will come in and do a night of extravaganza. Jones Vv Tom, AJ vs Fury and Canelo vs Crawford all on the same night. Imagine the egos involved with who goes last.

[@Alienkiri338]

Lure him with great money for Aspinall and if he wins , then fuck you money for Alex fight .. in the meantime , Alex can fight Ankaleav … it’ll be a perfect scenario

[@michaelhowell2809]

If jon didn't wait as Francis left, didn't take 3 years and now talking old and legacy . Just entertain us the fans

[@SandileMafu]

What’s Aspinall’s most impressive win? Sergei? A guy who was picked apart by Volkov. Ok

[@theprolificnetwork4670]

Do you guys believe Aspinall could honestly beat DC? That Answer is not, so why would everyone want a Champion lesser than Jon Jones. Let Jon fight who he is motivated to fight. A few years ago Ciryl Gane was said to be the guy and we know how that went.

[@TMoneyIncorporated]

Let’s be honest Ngannou sparks Aspinall within one rounds 2 TOPS!!

[@jon-f7u]

Every champ at the end of his career wants the best $$$$ on the way out Can't blame him Can't say it's a duck until he rejects a good offer

[@JarrodWilkins]

These are very NARROR MINDED opinions. Jon is NOT afraid to fight or lose to Tom. He’s saying I want to be paid what I want to give y’all what you want. He’s earned it. He’s been world Champion and has the resume to demand the BIGGEST PAY DAY. Kabib & Conor are gone. Jon is still here… he watched as they made BIG MONEY fights while he knew he was the Goat and didn’t get paid what he thought he was worth. This BLACK MAN is demanding what he is worth. The End.

[@Shlankyman545]

Delusional stuff here. Race doesn’t matter.

[@m.j.e.5245]

Like luke's never turned down a bad contract lol

[@GELATO_]

Can we just collectively agree that Jon jones is ducking it really isn’t that complicated when people wanted to see Alex fight aspinall he called him out on Twitter no need for all this “I need f u money “ or “I’m not interested in fighting Tom” cause that’s not what islam and Alex are doing they call their opponents out

[@abudujana13]

Thanks for the video, MORNING KOMBAT ULTRA

[@alexandernjie216]

Haha this guy Luke is di riding aspinal hard Aspinal has 2 advantages Speed and Youth Rest goes to Jon Jones Luke. He will smoke Aspinal inside 2 rounds and will make aspinal look amateur like he is.

[@SandileMafu]

Jones and Luke don’t like each other. His bias comes through all the time whenever he speaks against Jon.

[@AftabulousAF]

BC is onto something with the Vince McMahon angle..Dana should start reaching out to Francis.

[@horichuy6254]

🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆

[@J.ChrisSmith]

Jon has all the leverage. What would the UFC do at HW if Jon retires or leaves the UFC? What big fights are out there? Now maybe they can build Tom or someone up over the next couple of years to replace Jones but at this point...what would they do? Jones doesn't need the fight. He has plenty of money...his legacy is already set in stone...Now I don't know how much the UFC is really willing to pay Jon but I feel like they can find a way to give Jones a huge pay day to make the fight happen. Jon is not afraid of anyone and he is not ducking anyone...he just doesn't need Tom. That fight really only benefits Tom. if Tom wins it takes him to super star status. The guy who finally beat Jon Jones! If Tom loses to Jones...well he is young and unexperienced and does nothing for Jones legacy 10 years from now. Just my opinion.

[@AaronKDub]

And when jon beats him in 2 rounds nobody can say anything about jon anymore and yall fan boys can go cry that river

[@bigmic1972]

It’s not debatable now he is the best ever who you gonna say is better. What will happen is if he wins whoever the next young talent

[@tigg2666]

It is so obvious all these people who think Jones is ducking: 1) has started watching after covid 2) has never competed in a high level sport in their life. You think Jones as a competitor would duck Tom Aspinall? His first title defense was against Rampage Jackson if you have ever heard of that guy. He was a real teddy bear

[@EmmeryMyers]

Jones is going to fight until he gets 20 title fight wins and the heavyweight record. This has always been the plan. Luke has devolved into a whiner for the casual fan.

[@skinnbones67]

12:00 so true

[@JordanPaul.M]

Jon Jones is the fighter for the average low-information fan who understands zero nuance in the sport; they appeal to his record without context, and they don't know the opponents he fought and their histories. All they see is a chart with Jon on top and then the thinking stops. They stomp around arrogantly pretending to know what they're talking about, repeating the same script like hivemind simpletons.

[@GinoDistefano-jf7eh]

Jones needs Compensation to Fight Anybody from here on out. He Has the Belt. MONEY TALKS

[@Axiohm000]

Jon Jones doesn't want to be the old lion
