Jones fought a ton of OGs on his way to the top. It's the natural order of things, but he is saying it's unreasonable now. That means he's scared, and Stipe was right.

[@theodoreellis2204]

I have two good reasons why Tom and John should fight ... By Dana's own words , first reason: the best fight the best. Second reason is that John faught older apponents in Stipe, Glover, DC ect. It's just fair that Tom gets to fight the older champ.

[@edford3354]

Exactly, if he holds the heavyweight belt at some point he has to fight the CLEAR no 1 contender who's beaten virtually everyone in the top 10 and been at the top of the list for years. Yea he doesnt owe anyone a loss but any belt holder owes the division that much, and thats even ignoring the whole interim thing. If you dont wanna fight him vacate the belt otherwise fight him or retire

[@autobot622]

Correction Cormier stipe and glover challenged him. He was the champ. None of those guys were headlining cards it's not the same comparison. Jones wants to make money. Aspinal fight might do that now but only because people think he doesn't want it when in reality he is just looking at whichever guy has the most money making potential

[@TheRealAbraxas]

Jon will be older when (if) he fights Aspinall than DC and Glover were when they fought Jon.

[@JESUS--NEVER--tAPPED]

Gimme a break Jon! You keep sayin' Tom is 35lbs heavier, NO, you weighed in @ 237lbs & Tom is around 252lbs! Do the math!

[@henrka]

Fedor in his prime beat fighters much bigger than him, having a smaller size gives you a speed advantage. The problem is Jon is too old, slow, and washed up, and it showed in the Stipe fight. Stipe is a 42 year old firefighter that had not fought in 4 years, he looked terrible in that fight, and so did Jon. Jon if he is smart gives up his belt and retires, if he is stupid fights Tom Aspinall and gets knocked out in round 1.

Everyone that he has fought against could have beat him... you are so lost in your hate for Jones that you are putting logic aside. Jones has nothing to gain from this fight, if he wins it's just another win for him. Aspinall Loses nothing, if he wins he is the first guy to beat Jones and take his belt, if not he lost to the GOAT, which isn't very damaging to his reputation and legacy.

[@daniellester6111]

There is no one else after Tom because Alex has no ground game compared to Jon. After Tom there is no one and he can retire being the man if he beats Tom. Most people just want to see Jon in a good fight not a washout. If your still fighting and he is the interim then that's who you fight next period.

[@realityandnaturepill]

Jon has the most overrated legacy/resume in all of UFC. When he arrived as a towering man with a 84 inch reach his division was so shallow that it had middleweights at the top of the division, his first 5 title defenses were against middelweights, he was enhanced at the very least in the DC fights and the second Gustafsson fight. If jon had moved up to heavyweight just as he had stated he would and fight a prime Cain, Dossantos, Stipe or Francis at heavyweight...that's different.

When Jones says that a win against Aspinall would do nothing for his legacy, he's maybe being short-sighted. If he beat Tom, and after his retirement Tom went on to dominate the heavyweight division for a few years (as many would consider quite likely)- then Jones' win against such a heavyweight great in their prime would go down as arguably his most notable win.

[@realtalkw_darius1]

Although Jones has nothing left to prove as far as I’m concerned, I would enjoy watching this fight if they do. But I also see the importance of not letting one’s self trust in the opinions, holistically speaking, of the fans & critics. On the one hand, if he beats Tom, people will clamor for the next upcoming shiny object. If he loses to Tom, Tom is a legend killer all of a sudden and Jon is old and probably needs to retire or whatever the new narrative will be. You can’t please ALL of the people, ALL of the time.

[@frostyfeetcards]

@@realtalkw_darius1 Yup. If Jon wins which I believe he would. If not by KO or submission they'll call it rigged. He basically can't win no matter what he does to this mob. They want him to fight a younger, bigger, "faster" opponent or he's a bum. Well, when has Jon been the bigger, faster, stronger opponent? I honestly only want to see the fight so I have the opportunity to troll everyone that's been riding the Tom Aspinall train if he loses.

[@tomw4322]

@realtalkw_darius1 There is no one else in the division for Jones. This idea that Tom is just another guy, having sparked out most of the top contenders in the first round is insulting. It's just the best excuse Jones and his team could come up with to duck him

[@realtalkw_darius1]

@ Tom being ‘just another guy’, that I agree with. He’s a serious challenger, not just another guy. However, there are other fighters in the division. The discussion is about contenders who can actually pose a greater challenge to Jon. And the one challenger many people see and want to see as a good bout is with Tom. I don’t disagree. If he’s the next guy, and it appears he is as Dana stated, then that is the fight to make. But Jon isn’t just another champion either. Accusing him, without actual evidence, of ducking because he doesn’t see the value in the fight for his legacy, I think is ridiculous or short sided. He doesn’t owe us that fight. But I know many people feel like he does. My simple question is where does it end? He fights the kid, and he wins, what will the new narrative be? I already have ideas of what it will be if he wins or loses, but if he wins, will fans and critics alike be satisfied at his greatness? I sincerely doubt it. It won’t be enough. That’s what Jon sees and in so many words has alluded to. Again, would I watch if they do battle, yes. Do I need more ‘proof’ of his greatness? No. Can I be selfish about it as a fan? Yes. Will I be? No.

If he stays a heavyweight then yes he would fight aspinnall but he also has SD he doesn't have a problem retiring and would gladly give up the belt if required. He doesn't have anything more to prove to anyone lol.

[@mrimpala11]

Ok, if the fight everyone wants is Jon vs Tom then PAY Jon what he wants. Jon said he will do it if he is compensated.

[@Ken_Adams80]

“I'm not ducking”... That's exactly what a ducker would say

[@realtalkw_darius1]

Although Jones has nothing left to prove as far as I’m concerned, I would enjoy watching this fight if they do. But I also see the importance of not letting one’s self trust in the opinions, holistically speaking, of the fans & critics. On the one hand, if he beats Tom, people will clamor for the next upcoming shiny object. If he loses to Tom, Tom is a legend killer all of a sudden and Jon is old and probably needs to retire or whatever the new narrative will be. You can’t please ALL of the people, ALL of the time.

[@LaughNDLearn]

I don't get it at all, isn't it quite normal that number 1 fights number 2

[@TommyJones-vw5jh]

He ducked nanganou,Hel duck tom unless tom fights for free..give chicken the purse..he still won't fight tom..hel will vacate the title and tom will fight someone else.nanganou will come back and fight tom but for the right money..tom wont be beaten and will retire undeafeated ynwa

[@tomedinburgh4490]

Jones will never fight Tom, unless there's a ludicrous ammount of money offered. Tom is too fast, too powerful and too many skills. You can tell by the way Jones has spoken for the past year and a half, he knows he likely loses. More interesting question, how do you think Aspinall vs Ngannou would go? That would be a huge fight if Jones ducks, pay Francis the mega money for a lineal fight.

[@SasaSovilj]

He is defeated, wtf guy? 😅

[@jamalharris5805]

Ur smoking a lot of ice young buck. Lay off the pipe rookie 😅

[@groscaramelmou2583]

He ducked cain, prime stipe, ngannou and now tom' Jones got warned by reyes and santos that he wasn't the fighter he used to be, so he decided to move AT hw waiting for stipe to be old and ngannou to be out, Ask for the title against thé easyest matchup for him in the top 10, an old retired legend stipe, and then another money fight. Compared to cormier who had the balls to challenge stipe when cormier was thé man at lhw and stipe was AT his best at hw, that's ridiculous

[@SasaSovilj]

@@groscaramelmou2583 Now he ducked Cain? Damn, this is a whole new level... 😅

[@donhinojosa9044]

Won't know til you know.

[@ChrisF-fx5du]

Jon doesn't have a surgically repaired knee and is way more ruthless than tom so it's gonna be an amazing fight

[@gregcampbell5596]

If Jones was comfortable with beating him he would've said when I beat him, but Jones said (if I beat him) which shows he's unsure, Tom will take out Jones and we all know that!!

[@9BallBory]

Jon is the smartest MMA fighter in the world, Tom has 1 thing over Jon and it’s boxing, Jon is better on the ground overall and his kick boxing is superior. Jon has always showed us he makes sure someone can’t use their greatest strength.

[@rlupara]

Nobody (yet) proofed Tom Aspinall's gas tank. All we're saying same things about Ngannou as the first who proved his gas tank was Miocic and Nganu failed the proof. If Jones keeps distance away from lucky punch Tom will be no danger in the champions 4 and 5 rounds.

[@unstoneable]

What the hell is Jon talking about? Tom said multiple times he does not need to fight him he just want his belt that he deserved and Jon Jones has that belt right now.

[@heetshah3171]

The only person bigger than you after 17 years, 7 years younger to you, 30 pounds stronger than you. If you beat him, you create a legacy. That's in it for you.

[@uriahplumb5202]

I would have respected Jon more if he would have fought Stipe 6 years ago, Stipe out of his prime so is Jon, Aspinall would probably beat him but again different generations. If anything, I would want to see him fight Francis.

[@CoreyBurns-m3s]

He's learnt the right to say no tom's full of disrespect look at brick heaps better than tom and jon working tom

[@robertbronson9432]

I don’t wanna see hospital flight John Jones I want to see Panetta

[@armando7419]

If Jon isn’t going to fight the next guy in line in heavy weight then he needs to relinquish the title. Case closed

[@Blastizor]

Bruh Aspinall isn't the only heavyweight that can beat Jon LOL. Literally 90% of the heavyweight division will demolish Jon right now. There's a reason Jon fought Gane who has absolutely NO wrestling, who was submitted by NGANNOU OF ALL PEOPLE LOL. Jon knows that was the easiest win for him ever, he said it himself many times, Gane is the easiest matchup for him. That's also why he wants to fight Perierra, another strictly kickboxer like Gane who he can tackle and submit effortlessly. Come on now we're giving Jon way too much credit buying into the type so much. Aspinall, Tuivasa, Blaydes, Pavlovich, Volkov, Derrick Lewis, all these guys would absolute destroy Jon at heavyweight, which is why he's avoiding all of them. He was practically gifted the belt because Ngannou vacated it. He's admitted that he's ducking Tom, who is definitely the best heavyweight atm. There's a reason Jon refused to fight DC at heavyweight, because he knew DC would be too big to handle and has great wrestling, just like Tom most of the heavyweight division does aside from Gane ofcourse. Tom would absolutely destroy Jones, no questions asked.

[@HUSKYBOI123]

WHEN SOMBODY STARTS WITH; I DONT WANT TO BE ARROGANT BUT..... STOP IT SIR.

[@johnnydon6738]

Those oblique kicks will screw up Aspianll

[@crystalballfantasy9382]

If Jon said his Mom didn't want him to fight anymore it would be ok though, like somebody else we know

[@kebutoma1726]

The pressure would be on J, Tom has nothing much to lose.

[@szvqorwnpstahskypfwmp9821]

I would give Tom 60% and Jon a 40% winning percentage.

[@yonatankidane3596]

I've heard this all before. Until I see someone tap him out or hear, "And The New," JJ will reign supreme...

[@surferrosa7285]

Jon been fighting smaller, shorter guys with a 12 inch reach disadvantage his whole career. He's so full of it. He has also fought much older guys like Glover and DC and Stipe. Not to mention at the start of his career when he was taking out legends with ease. But no, he can't be expected to take on the younger guy. 🙄

[@ashwin_mahajan]

His neck always stands out

[@sly1465]

In Jon's defense...he wont want to risk his record on someone so tough. Go get some easy money fights Jon. You've paid your dues.

[@jamieshelker2178]

Funny Jon didn't say this when he was coming up against the old guys

[@toddhall7416]

Jon says finally found somebody that can give him a challenge. A lot of people thought Dominick Reyes beat him and the first Gustafson fight could have gone either way. If you don't think so look at the video of Jones leaving the Octagon after Gustafson 1. Yeah Aspinall will be more than a challenge for him. He's talking about legacy fights but if he fails to do the Aspinall fight his legacy is being the guy who ducked Francis and Tom. Aspinall is the only guy who makes sense. You want to claim to be the HW champ but you didn't beat the HW champ to get there so at least fight the interim HW champ. Jon's only HW fights he beats a guy who was interim champ and loses the unification fight then an ex champ who was ranked 8th and is 42 years old.

[@UFC_blood4life]

Honestly I don't give a fuck if Jones fights Aspinal just retire leave the division don't matter Aspinal is going on to break Miocics record and go on to be the greatest Heavy weight ever

[@osamamanan2723]

Jones always had height and reach advantage and fought guys 7-8 years older than him.

[@velder22]

I don't think UFC fans want to see Alex and john, he'll take him down and that'll be the end of it

[@rodrickbrown7825]

The truth of the matter is, a lot of people just want ant to see Jon loose...and that is a fact. Tell them to go tell Kabib to come back and fight too. Jones has proven himself over and over and if he decides to fight Tom...I think he'll win

[@rodrickbrown7825]

Moreover, he's a lot smarter than many realize... there's a super fight coming i believe, maybe two

[@Mightymausu]

Jon Jones has MMA Fans who hate him, they're waiting to see him to lose. No matter the age they're always going to find someone new for him to fight.

[@synthetichappiness7564]

The comment section. "You don't know anything about MMA, you're a casual." "No you don't know shit, you are the casual." "I can tell by the way you type that you don't know anything, casual." "Bla bla casual bleet bleet casual."

[@9BallBory]

Anyone who thinks he isn’t fight jt him because he’s “scared” is insane, Jon’s ego is massive and he has 17 title defenses. Jon isn’t scared, he’s fucking 37 chasing the money fights.

[@iknowwhoiam6092]

I'm tired of people saying Bones is scared and he's ducking is literally crazy to me. He fights for a living, the thing is because you all want him to take an L because you all don't like him for whatever reasons. You all talk about age difference between Bones and Stipe but the age difference between Bones and Aspinall is far worse. There's nothing in it for Bones but money so he should get paid handsomely for the fight. Everything to lose and nothing to gain so chase the bag Bones besides Aspinall hasn't done enough to even be in the octagon against the Greatest Of All Time. Someone please talk about their age difference

[@Abracadoofus]

Jon Jones owes the fight to Tom Aspinall because he's the next up for the heavyweight belt. If Jones doesn't want the belt retire going out on beating a 42 year old Miocic that hadn't fought in multiple years.

[@stilljustaguy]

Everybody’s mad at John Jones, but think of Khabib literally had many more challenges he could’ve taken on. He never even moved up a weight class and nobody even mentions him. At least John Jones came back.

[@djrealmerda]

Figuring aspinall’s knee in the will of jones

[@antoniosingletary2865]

They said the same thing about Cyrl!

[@TheZeppelin14]

Tom Aspinall would have to win in the first 2 rounds or it's over, he has barely been out of the first round so if he doesn't win quick it will be a long night for him.
