[@fellowtraveler2251]

>Aspinall is delusional for saying Jon needs to fight him to say he's the best? Actually, you're delusional for thinking Jones can call himself the best while refusing to fight his own interim champion to instead fight an old inactive Stipe who hasn't won a fight in like 4 years. Do you even know what the point of an interim champion is? It's so the two can fight to unify the belt and decide who is the best once and for all? That's how it works in every division. I don't care who Jon beat like 15 years ago, that was a different time, different weight class. Furthermore, being undefeated means nothing. Anybody can be undefeated in mma if they cherrypick and fight nothing but bums while avoiding any real competition, which is exactly what Jons doing.

Ok, someone needs to be pointing this out: Jon Jones can't do anything about this current situation. It's the UFC's decision to not strip him when he got injured and it was the UFC's decision to have Tom and Sergi fight for the interim title. Jon was already booked to fight Stipe before that fight and a UFC fighter cannot change their opponent once the fight has been booked. The best they can do is cancel the fight or drop out and have a replacement instead. Jon, regardless of bravery or fear, is booked to fight Stipe and has been since before Tom came around. Stipe is too old to wait any longer and Jon want's to have the greatest on his resume. His silence only attracts attention and keeps his name relevant. If you all disliked him soo much, just remember that you are helping him get champion PPV points by continuously talking about him.

Jon Jones legacy in the UDC heavyweight division. Not wiling to fight the best guys. Ran from Francis, or priced himself out of having to do so. Took a fight vs a kickboxer from France, who had EL-ZILCHO grappling skills, was hyped up by Joe Rogan and a few others. Anyone who wrestled him, beat him. Francis and Jones. Now jones wants to fight a grandpa. Jones legacy is great at LHW, but pure dogs__t at heavyweight. Why didn't Jones move up to HW 8-10 years ago and take on Stipe Jon Jones is one of the greatest lhw ever, but not the goat of all UFC fighters. Even a prime JJ @ 220 lbs doesn't beat Aspinall.
