[@MishtattoosNY]

[@pawegrzanka5494]

Hi Chael, my 2 cents: Ideally, a backup fighter should not get spotlight until the fight is already taking place - we could do it in the way it is done right now and I'd be fine, too. My logic is you shouldn't let the dummy in that position to think that he has some leverage over IF the "main" fight happens. Imagine Masvidal being the backup for Leon vs Kamaru and giving his '3-piece with a soda' to any of the fighters right after weight-ins. I'd imagine Kumshat Chimaev doing sick stuff for attention if he was let thinking he can get a better fight if he deals with one of them before the competition. That's why I'd never give the backup fighter any credit except for show-up&make weight, and I'd be vocal if he signed the papers and didn't do one of these two things, too.

[@TheRealBrillski]

Jones is going to smoke Stipe. As old as Stipe is, Stipe should be fighting Jake Paul. I'll watch Jones vs Stipe when it's posted for free.

[@elijahn.grisham4017]

The problem is last time those three signed to fight the back up didn’t fight either he fought someone he wasn’t even ready for or thinking about. The UFC pretty clearly said Stipe was good it would be disrespectful even tho that was the backup since the fight was made. So Tom got the chance of a lifetime when all the UFC had to do was say Stipe vs the backup for the interim Belt. Isn’t this basically the same thing except Tom is already the Interim champion.

[@BENCHIPED]

Aspinall if you're reading Chaels comment section. If Alex Pereira wins his next fight, that same night Tweet "hey Alex, since old man Jones is ducking both of us, how about you come up to HW and let's do this. You're not afraid to fight anybody and neither am I. Let's do this"

[@zeroworries]

[@SmileyD1125]

The thumbnail game is ON POINT with this one lol

[@BelieveSte]

Jones seems done with fighting... he chooses Miocic as his retirement fight because you know why? When he defends his Heavyweight belt against the "GOAT" of the heavyweight division, he can say that he was the GOAT in both divisions and retire strong. Aspinal unfortunately will inherit a shit division, there is no one left for him to fight. I'm so upset the state of the heavyweight division for the next 3-4 years, but I understand why Jones is doing it like this, he is looking after himself and no need to put his legacy on the line against arguably the best heavyweight we have ever seen and that's aspinal.

[@paradoxx9382]

It's far and away the biggest fight at HW that doesn't involve Alex. The UFC has already doubled down on Aspinall not being a main event guy.

[@meeee214]

🎯

[@thebiglebrowski3695]

Which is dumb af. British guys always sell well on PPV. Aspinall is from Manchester, like Bisping, and Bisping was huge. Aspinall will be the biggest star in the UFC soon.

not only would it add to the event, but the UFC is giving themselves perfect A/B/C testing for almost free on which of the possible 3 matchups might generate the most interest.

I dont give Stipe a snowballs chance in hell of bearing JJ. Alex or Tom is a whole other story.

[@theultimatedisciple7974]

What I’m hoping for is that this “ducking Tom” situation is all an act, he makes us believe he’s going to retire even early into his inevitable post-fight win speech over Stipe, only to call out Tom for his real final fight. That would be absolutely legendary.

[@Razear]

If Jon goes out there and steamrolls Stipe like he did Gane, he might change his mind and give the fans what they want, who knows. But I'm sure there's also a part of him that would love nothing more than to stick it to the people who continually pester him about fighting Tom by retiring.

[@danielmarriott6580]

"Stick it to them" by confirming he's scared of Aspinall?

[@Jasalexander-vv2uw]

​@@danielmarriott6580I don't know if people genuinely believe Jon is scared of Aspinall. I think it's just a way for fans to annoy Jon into fighting Tom. So yes, depriving the fans of what they desperately want is "sticking it" to the fans.

[@GWFHegel-ms7gz]

"Let's talk about gear." We know, we know Chael. USADA already told us about that, remember?

[@RurouniKenshinShinta]

I think Jon is playing it very smart. He knows he's at the end of his career, his performance now would not compare to his prime self, probably will sit back and see if other fighters can find holes in his game that Jon can take advantage of when he decides to fight him. Not to mention its a brilliant marketing tactic. He's swinging the carrot around.

[@babahias]

Jones and Pereira (because they have the picture together) vs. Tom Aspinall (the best heavyweight on the planet right now) and Stipe (a 42-year old who hasn't fought in 3.5 years and last time out got brutally knocked out) in a tag team match! 🙏

[@Markielee72]

If Jon ever fights Tom, either at 309 or in the future, I will eat my shoes.

[@JoeSizzle100]

Imagine if Stipe pulled out of the fight late and forced Jon to fight Tom. Stipe doesn't seem like he cares what happens one way or another and I know he felt disrespected by Dana in the past. He could pull the biggest move ever. Just depends if Stipe wants one last paycheck or not lol.

[@paulhancock]

This is why the UFC won't even entertain the idea of the more logical, meaningful fight the fans want which is Aspinall/Jones... They have always known full well that Jones is dipping after fighting Stipe, who at this point just might need a mobility scooter to get to the octagon. It's a lame way to end a career, but probably smart. Jones is well advised to avoid Tom at this stage in his career.

[@legendaryskinman7305]

I feel like we need to get this fight out of the way to get to the good stuff cos Dana really wants it.

[@ahsokatanosloveinterest]

Jon started it himself in someone's DMs because he was all in his feelings about someone making fun of him getting arrested I believe. Either way it was Jon in private DMs because he was insecure. Not Dana?? Dana is still saying the opposite of Jon. Lmao Also Dana absolutely said Thomas John Aspinall Fury was the backup.

[@moanouti2971]

No reason whatsoever for Jon to risk his legacy against a much younger bigger and faster opponent in Aspinall. It simply isn’t worth it me thinks.

[@ThrallFrostwolf7]

Alex Pereira should fight Aspinall next cause even if Alex looses he lost against the best heavyweight so that can be used as an excuse and it would also bump Aspinall’s stock. Win win

[@ttocs0000]

I want to see jon and tom soo bad but jfc how glorious would it be to see old man stipe retire him with a MASSIVE L 😅 a loss to tom isnt hurting his legacy, a loss to stipe would. People aren't critically thinking here. With all things considered, stipe does have a decent chance lol

Wow, Stipe isn't getting any respect in the comments. He's the most successful UFC heavyweight champ ever.

[@ttocs0000]

@freddiemac327 what are you actually trying to say man? Not being a dick either lol, I really can't tell what direction you're coming from.

[@freddiemac327]

@@ttocs0000 Just an old school fan. I'm the same age as Stipe. I agree with what you said, but from the perspective of respecting the heart of a champion. So my opinion is slightly different.....I think a loss for his final fight doesn't help his legacy. It only means he doesn't go out on top. Where I disagree is which fighter he loses to causing the most damage to his legacy. I think losing to Stipe......the man who beat all of the best heavyweights in championship fights and has the longest heavyweight title streak with 3 defenses, should be expected. He beat the most recent heavyweight champions. Stipe lives a healthy and clean life. He isn't aging like Jones who did the opposite. Losing to Tom would be a huge deal because Tom has never even fought a former or current heavyweight champion. I'm not saying he couldn't beat them. I'm just saying he hasn't been tested on that stage yet. I personally think he will rise to the occasion. With heavyweights, the conversation changes quit all the time.
