Aspinall won the interm belt on the day Jones vs Miocic were supposed to fight for the belt, 4 days after Jones tore his pec. Jones was contracted to fight Stipe aftrr his recovery. So, he is not nor ever was ducking Aspinall. Jones already said he'll vacate the belt if he wins. Aspinall can go fight whoever, that division is trash anyway.

​@@santanachannel1861the online mma community is delusional... They are saying this stuff everywhere and it makes 0 sense for exactly the reason you stated It's like they don't even watch or have any idea what's going on. I think they watch tiktok videos that sell the narrative or something. Like... when was he supposed to fight him? While he was recovering? While he was training? Was he supposed to cancel a super fight because they gave the fill in a make believe belt? It makes them all look incredibly dumb and they love it I guess 🤦🏾‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️

[@K717MOS]

Love Jones. He has a point 🐐

[@Mr-E.]

Summary: At least Jones is being semi-honest. Last week he said fighting Aspinall would be a gamble to his legacy. Today he says that Aspinall is the more challenging fight and he would rather fight someone who has hype but isn't as much of a threat in his mind (Alex). He feels that he has earned the privilege to pick and choose and he doesn't care much about the belt itself, but more about the undefeated record. He smiled at how bothered people would be if he retired undefeated with "all the chips". The logic that Aspinall is the interim champion won't work on Jones because he doesn't care about the rankings or the belt, all he cares about is his image and leaving undefeated. He is basically admitting that he is scared to risk his undefeated record (he isn't scared to physically fight Aspinall, only what the consequences would be).

[@erictheviking844]

I've been lowkey hating on this dude for not fighting Tom, but I gotta admit he makes some sense here.

[@HamStew24]

Tom aspinal needs to call out Alex to mess with Jones plans! Mental warfare has well and truly kicked it.

[@erictheviking844]

There's just something in the way Jon talks that is so inauthentic. I think it's his biggest character flaw. This is probably why people have come to admire Tyson so much; a man that has fucked up even worse than Jon has, yet we all seem to adore and respect him.

[@Mars13153]

People hated Tyson will he was a fighter, stop the revisionist nonsense. People love Tyson only now and how do you know Jon doesn't acknowledge his failures privately. You don't know jack about him personally. Look in your own mirror.

[@BestBoyNed]

Jon just stumbled around that whole conversation but made it very clear he understands that Tom could beat him and his “legacy” is more important than taking the risk

[@Mars13153]

Nah, it was just the opposite, Aspinall fanboy, he was very considered and honest.

[@BestBoyNed]

@@Mars13153 hmm ... not a fanboy of anyone, but I can see how the love of a woman beating, drug abusing, liar is intoxicating to anyone who doesn't have access to critical thinking. Do you honestly believe or feel that Aspinal wouldn't be a challenge for Jones, but Jones stating he is wanting to match up against Pereira or Hill is a real challenge, or are you just wanting to hold on tight to a bully ?

@ nah I just wanna see the heavyweight champion defend his belt against the interim champion 💀 clearly ur a Jon jones fan but Dana already said ur daddy can’t cherry pick his opponents, Tom Aspinall or retire 🦆

[@Chevyno10]

Aspinall is the Interim Heavyweight Champ. Who else is he SUPPOSED to fight other than the Champ himself? There can be ONLY ONE champion. It's not a choice or opinion based situation, Volkinovski fought Yaire soon as he returned to Featherweight coz he was the INTERIM champ...Aspinall should be the next fight after Stipe OR vacate the belt Jon.

[@no_going_back8456]

You have to see Jon side too he’s been in the UFC for 16 years and has reached top 3Goat status. It’s fair to give him a legacy fight and get one last huge paycheck and then retire

[@Chevyno10]

@no_going_back8456 I agree, hence I said after the Stipe fight he must fight Aspinall or vacate the belt or retire. Pereira is not an option given an interim champ exists. That's all I'm saying.

[@jinkin-no3qf]

[@justiceequalspeace]

Jon Jones is honest enough to admit he is not seeking to be the undisputed heavyweight champion but wants constraints on the opponents size, weight and age. He might as well negotiate a deal to fight Tom with one of his hands tied behind his back.

[@Mars13153]

He's admitting to the risk versus reward. How is he trying to put size, weight and age constraints on Aspinall moron?
