Tom has handily beaten numerous top 10 guys, slept the divisions boogeyman in under a minute and been calling for the Jones fight ever since. Jon beat a one dimensional Gane that had just been out wrestled by Francis LOL. And only wants to fight a 41 YO Stipe that hasn't fought in 3 years. So with that said, Tom's claim to be the HW champ is far greater than Jon's, only an idiot or fanboy would say otherwise.

Strip jon. It's ruining the hw division. We are getting better in fighting in boxing at the min.

[@alcottdevalte7440]

The UFC lacks stars these days, so they need Jon as long as possible. Jon is basically the goat, so won't happen.

[@starseeddeluxe]

Absolutely. Jon should be stripped, just because he's only fought once in 3 1/2 years, and appears to be ready for his last retirement fight. The way they are sidelining Aspinall to continue to "force" Jon Jones into the spotlight merely to promote Jon's status over Francis Ngannou, is completely unacceptable. This has nothing to do with Dana trying to help Jon; the UFC are trying to use Jon Jones for clout, to prevent Ngannou from getting any shine. And because of this Dana is ruining the UFC's heavyweight division, and also ruining Tom Aspinall's prime.

[@PiglipsMaximus]

Dana should acknowledge this. Tom is a great guy never been in troublr with the law no drugs, perfect example of a champion. Then just weeks ago Dana saying JON IS THE GOAT....just pft. Dana sucks

As an American, Tom is the greatest and most likable heavyweight that the UFC has ever had and I'm incredibly bitter about the UFC keeping him on the sidelines. Frankly, it's unacceptable seeing Dana keep Tom on the bench for no reason, WHILE he is in his absolute prime.

[@theguvnor3880]

Aspinall should be fighting Jones, instead, we are left Stipe vs Jones, a fight that doesn't need to happen.

[@alcottdevalte7440]

Think a big part of Jon coming back was a deal with the UFC where Jon would get the Stipe fight after winning the belt. Jon was never going to defend the belt against a contender, especially a new fighter instead of a legend like Stipe.

[@Mr-E.]

Jones is hoping people will get fooled into thinking it is a great matchup. He wants to retire undefeated and I think after Stipe he might do that. This is a bit like when Conor tried to fight Diego Sanchez for his comeback fight (ignored Gaethje's callout) during the height of Diego's mental issues. He thought people were so stupid that they would think him beating Diego would catapult him to a claim at a title shot with minimal risk.
