Jon Jones Refuses To ‘Do Business’ With Tom Aspinall: ‘He’s An A**hole’ | UFC 309 | MMA Fighting

[@thamiflu7688]

The most badass thing Pereira could do, which would grant him instant legend status is to tell Jon: "Defeat Tom first, and then we can talk. Chama."

[@MNToThat]

I'm interested to hear what Dana says on Saturday night because until now he has been adamant that he doesn't want Alex moving up and that he expects the winner to face Aspinall.

[@EmeralArcher]

He gets legend status for a tweet MMA fans today😂😂

[@HopeandPeace4]

Everything His says: Age: Alex fought Jiri who was 5 years younger and all he has said. What is in it for Alex if he fought Jones that he can't get from Aspinall or Another fighter in the Light Weight or Heavy Weight Division. Many fighters had talk crap to the champions and the champions still fought each of those fighters that talk crap to them, Sean Strickland talk crap to Alex, but Alex still fought him and Financially, Tom and Jon Jones will have a sold-out fight and if it is only Legacy. Alex deserves to choose not to fight Jones because he is in a different weight division, and Alex has more to lose if he fights Jones than Jones has to lose if he fight Alex and he intentionally loss the weight to be close to Alex weight and age have nothing to do with it, because it is no different than the height difference that Jones had over DC, and there was not agreement with Alex either but he wants to fight Alex, so every reason that Jones has is not a good reason for ducking Aspinall. And Tom record is greater than Jones to his rise to get a Title shot. Who had Khalil beaten to get a Title shot with Alex, who knew who Khalil was before he fought Alex, Khalil did not have a Belt, and Khalil made a name off of Alex because now many fans know Khalili, Alex Legacy was on the line, but Alex did not have the excuses that Jones have with Tom. Nothing Jones can say that will be a good enough reason for ducking Aspinall: Not the legacy excuse, Money excuse, nor BMF BELT, that he is not qualify for if he does not fight Tom and he can give up his belt. But it is still Ducking, and after he fights Stipe if he wants to retire then he has had a great career in the UFC. Dunking to me means that: A fighter refuses to fight a fighter in his own weight division to fight another fighter in another weight division not the other way around To be Entitled to fight for the BMF Belt: Jones do not qualify because he will not fight anyone/ because he does not want to fight Aspinall. It's the Popularity, Fame & Notoriety that Jones is after: He wants to tear that down from Alex, I would not be surprised if Jones go to light heavy weight division after Stipe fight/ to make sure he gets to fight Alex/ Jones is desperate. What does Alex have that Jones do not have at this time: Jones can get money from fighting Tom, he has a legacy already, it is today's fame, popularity & notoriety.

[@conormcdublin5335]

Jones way of thinking is crazy he was always the bigger guy at 205 now he wants to fight a guy that can fight at 185. Aspinall is in jones head 100%

Bones is Goat. Alot of people in some way seems to want to see him fail or find a way to break him. Its a sport. Anyone can get knocked or choked out. Based on accomplishments, the path of legacy overides hype. I root for Alex vs John. But Stipe is first. GL to both of them.
