Jon Jones Post-Fight Press Conference | UFC 309

[@MakeYouTubeGreatAgain2]

OG fans remember jons first few UFC fights where no matter how loud the crowd was or how loud the commentary was you'd always hear Jon's mother in the crowd yelling "JONNY!!!" "JONNY", "GET EM JONNY!!" I used to get chills hearing her in the crowd. RIP Mrs. Jones! I've never seen her face but I heard her every fight, plus she birthed two NFL Superbowl champions and the greatest MMA fighter of all time, shes a fucking legend 💪🏽

Stipe was traumatized after round 1. Beginning of round 2 Jon was still gassed from fighting on top half of round 1 and that was Stipes opportunity to do some serious damage but he was so traumed from round 1 that he hesitated. He let Jon recover and gain more confidence while finding strategy that worked. People say stipe looked like he didn't wannabe there. I disagree. I think stipe was trying to figure out how to get at Jon. Didn't have a great game plan.

Then vacate the heavyweight belt, and then fight whoever you want. He has held up the heavyweight division for too long, with his inconsistency. He is quite literally, the heavyweight champion, and he is ACTIVELY avoiding the number 1 ranked contender in Tom Aspinall. What do you not understand? Everyone is up in arms over Jon because he HAS the belt. Once he stops holding up the entire division, everyone will stop talking about his avoiding and will look forward to whoever else he fights. The money, quite literally, does NOT matter in this scenario. The champion and the interim champion need to be unified in the next fight. If not, Jon needs to just hang up the heavyweight belt. As Islam Makhachev said, " 'What does this title represent? It means you're the best in the world and if you're the best in the world, it doesn't matter who's going to be standing across from you. What do I say? No? NEVER. Let's do this!' "

@ he just fought Stipe let him enjoy his win and heal up before you throw another younger lion at him. It doesn’t matter who he beats there is always going to be that next shiny new guy that wants to test himself.

@dawickednest yep and it was probably to avoid getting hit in the face 👍🏾 Mate put your bias aside for two seconds and admit what's clear. Jones knows he can ragdoll Pereira on the ground. Aspinall is much stronger, younger and much more powerful and I assure you that's probably why he's 'disengaging' from the Aspinal fight

[@lazmaroulis6686]

Everyone who’s criticizing Jon jones for beating an older Stipe, while simultaneously refusing to acknowledge the fact that Jon himself is 37 years old, has almost 20 years of fighting experience, just recently sustained a severe pectoral tear and has been inactive, are tacitly admitting that Jon should be held to a higher standard above everyone else.

[@yanmagno3]

Who tf is denying Jon is 37? Lmao

[@lazmaroulis6686]

@ where did I say people are denying that fact? I said they are refusing to acknowledge it, particularly in discussions involving his win over Stipe and a potential fight against Tom Aspinall. He’s old, he’s been fighting forever, and recently sustained a terrible injury. Given all of this context his performance this past weekend was nothing short of amazing and he doesn’t owe Tom Aspinall a title fight. Vacating the title and letting the younger bulls fight for it is more than fair…

[@AmonGus-ml1fh]

Jon is still younger than DC was when he fought him in his prime

Guess who is the only person right now who forced everyone to wait a year and a half just for his subpar return against a 41 year old guy who retired right after the fight? That's right Jon Jones. Jones has ALWAYS been an inactive fighter. Always fighting once a year.

[@butta1080]

GOAT! I think he dropped Vitor with that same kick but it was the liver. It's crazy that the greatest of all time never got his super fight. Conor got Floyd. DC was going to get Brock after not even doing a 1/4 of what Jon did, Volk got Islam twice, Bisping got GSP and even Max got Gaethje. The last one might not be on that level but close enough. The person that deserves it the most, people have a problem with. This fan base is so weird. Bisping saying Jon has to fight Tom is really hypocritical, if you know how the end of his career played out.

Jones only 2 moves are to retire now, or fight Alex Pereira. Aspinall is a step backwards, that's not the path to take because beating him would just be another notch on the belt. Honestly, would love to see him retire on this high, he's got nothing to prove because his legacy is set.... But damn, that would be an interesting fight if Alex can defend the takedowns... Beating Pereira would elevate Jones status and legacy even more 🔥
