Its actually sad how new fans dont know what this man really accomplished to say heâs scared of Sergei or even Tomđ
Not fighting both Sergei and Tom doesnât make Jon looks Scared but it does put his legacy in question.
Once Jon demolish Stipe, people will most likely bring up the fact that his rival DC had already beaten a prime Stipe.
Yeah lmao, only unique fight at HW would have been Francis
All I remember is his wifeâs bloody face and him headbutting that police cruiser tbh
@@jasonrick6148 yea and he knocked out his "rival" DC
@@jasonrick6148 you can't make those arguments, there will be next surging contendor after another, In Jones' prime days at Lhw he fought legends dispatched surging contendors, he beat every style momentum,
As jones said, high risk low reward, If jones beats those guys, it will just be another day nothing to gain for Jon, the story is only if he loses
The biggest problem with jones retiring is that we will no longer have guranteed winning bets đą
Lmaooo đŻ
Amanda almost
Who yaâll bet against during the matt hamill vs jones fight?
Yes so true bet pro
We need that Jones vs Francis fight đ„đ„đ„
you kidding? the way Stipe outwrestled him... no thanks... Jon would murder him, he ain't nice as Stipe...
Jon will probably fight one more time after beating Stipe, and then officially retire.
However honestly I don't think It really matters at this point, call him what you will (cheater, wife beater, steroid user etc.) but what he's accomplished In terms of his sheer resume Is nothing short of complete greatness, god given abilities (as stated by Khabibs father), high genius fight IQ/Knowledge as acknowledged by his rivals like DC Cormier, and his skill and technique Is always appreciated and respected by legends like Demetrius Johnson, GSP, and even dominant undefeated fighters like Khabib (Khabib ranks Jon #1 on his all time top 15 greatest MMA fighters, tied with Fedor).
Jon has nothing more to prove to anybody In all honesty (even his haters Included). Win or lose, he'll forever be the Michael Jordan of MMA In my mind now and forever.
I've been a fan of Jon for over a decade ever since I was a kid when I first watched him become the first fighter In the UFC to stop and finish Rampage Jackson In the Octagon at UFC 135.
Truly blessed to witness his greatness as a heel from 2011-2023 and onward. He's the Anti-villain that re-wrote history, and has practically 3 primes In his career.
"Jon Jones Is the ultimate winner, and It all flows from there." -The Fighting Business
W đ
Yup the goat
He cheated, guess that makes me a hater lmao. You however, I've never seen anyone so serious about swinging on someone's nutts. Congrats
Yeah Sergei is the only other one unless they bring Francis back which is about a 0 % chance
This was perfect 10/10
29-0 undefeated undisputed goat JON JONES
he won fights while on coke lol Goat my arse đđ
@@Polar-pencil Cry harder. How much did you lose betting against Jones?
No everybody likes drug addicts.
When his contract expires, he should fight Francis.
27-1-1
Damnation. I selfishly want 3 - 4 more fights from JJ. I REALLY want to see him vs Pavlovich.
Pavlovich is unknown so the fight gonna sell less and jones gets paid less, this is jones mindset so i think he avoids pavlovich respectfully
Yeah Pavlovich vs Jones Not Happening
@@suhailshaikh8529 Nah, if anything, Stipe has faded off the fans' minds over the years because of his extremely long absence. Meanwhile Sergei is surging through the ranks. All it takes is some dedicated promo. Stop making excuses. He literally knocked top HW contenders in the first round, that's some easy marketing for UFC.
@@Stanky_Foot you are ignoring how much experience matters more for casual fans than one sided win streaks, Conor will still sell more ppvs than the new contender, even if a new lightweight contender has 10 straight wins in 1 minute
Easy money for Jones, i hope that fight happens so i can bet my house on it
Its interesting to hear him say he will fight sergei for the right price. would the ufc pay up? I would assume the only reason they would pay that much is if it is marketed as jon jones retirement fight. That marketing along with the danger of pavlovich to spoil it would be a huge draw.
I agree, I think any Jon Jones fight is huge, and if you market it as his last fight, it'd sell as well as any other
The heavyweight division lacks big stars, so Stipe always gonna be the biggest fight.
â@@alcottdevalte7440 if overeem was here , jones would have fought him too cuz he draws more money than new guys tho
ââ@@marcusaurelius841 true but jones is in a position where he has done alot so he need big names to fight only
Honestly should do sergie vs jones...who wants to see a washed stipe at 40
i remember seeing a clip of him being in a fighters corner in a fight giving really good advice, i think he could become an amazing coach after this.
Tbf it's crazy how much greatness and accomplishments he has in this sport. Cause when I look at Izzy - brilliant score, brilliant competition, KOs, performances but even that is one clear level below what Jon did in MMA. 28-0 and 1NC. Beat Cormier, Gus, Rampage, Rashad, Lyoto, Vitor, Bonnar, Bader, Matyushenko, Glover, Gane in 2 minutes, Shogun, Chael in 3 minutes... And the vast array of techniques used. Jon Jones is truly MMA personified.
Jones is in a whole other league.
The only reason the 2 are even compared is because IA is hot atm and Jones has been mostly inactive lately.
29-0
The problem is he was off for 3 years so we missed so many potential fights. At least 4-5 extra fights he could've had.
Chael said it best, nine and if the fighter in question is a primadonna then six
That's on tight ass Dana and the UFC
Who is he gonna fight during those years? Francis? Bones will get paid but he will take his back and choke his head off quickly. Gonna take a huge wrestler to even attempt. An they will still end up like DC.
He gained all that weight for Francis only to not even need it! Waste of 3 years of his prime. He could have taken down Gane at 225lbs which he was at LHW. And he already said he was coming down to fight Stipe so again, that weight gain and taking 3 years off was all for nothing.
And now he comes back and already wants to retire! Smh.
I am assuming that is just his way of leaning on Dana to give him a lot more money to stay. He was not happy with his money for years and also why he sat out for so long.
I am guessing Dana will give him more money now that he has the HW belt.
@@MilkyWayGalaxyy after rewatching the whole jon jones experiment from him talking about going up to HW in 2013 and him talking about it until 2020(right before covid which seems like an eternity ago, damn jon rlly was out for hella long)he said that he was already 240 and his fight at HW he was only 248 so he only gained five-eight pounds. I think either the ufc or jon or even the fans hyped it up for something that it wasnt, jon was a big LHW and he did get big, up to 277 but obviously thats the past the weight limit and jon that slow is no good to him. And he kinda did put the weight on unnecessarily, because even with the weight, he still hasnt acclimated to the weight to move like a real HW and its not like hes ever gonna outweigh and out power/out punch francis, so idk why he put all that weight on for. Maybe that was the excuse. Maybe he didnt put too much weight on or he did but only to make it seem like he needed time to bulk up and he was either scared or wanted more money. And he looked terrible on the feet anyways, so jon at 248 is already bad, imagine that but at 277, 30 pounds slower and even less cardio. Not good
Damn.. even haters are starting to like Jon Jones now đ đ. Don't leave us bro!!
Yes I hated him. But now this guy impresses me. Love Jon Jones
Those back and forth DMs between Jon and Tai were hilarious
âTai Tutuvasaâ I love it. He keeps calling him that đ
Whats worse is jon already told us in this interview how he would win. He says the man is only hitting people. No wrestling, no kicking and this is the same assesment he made of Ciryl Gane whom I personally thought would give him a tough time. In Jon Jones you have something very different, the only way i can make anyone understand 8s to say he is made from the same factory that produced Messi, Ronaldo, Tiger Woods, Lebron James, Micheal Jordan, Lewis Hamilton, Serina Williams, Usain Bolt, Micheal Phelps, Sachin Tendulkar etc. I heard its somewhere in the moon. It makes extra ordinary athletes. The best of the best. Oh i forgot Ali and Pele.
Laughable!!
This sport is brutal uncomparable with other gentleman games like cricket, football, tennis, golf etc.
Great interview! Jon Jones so chilled.
Out of all the mma media jones choose this...i mean he is jones
Jon Bones Jones is my favorite UFC fighter of all time
Same & Im training with him for my first ever mma class

@@triocha233 where and howâïž
@@de_747_ heâs coming Melbourne⊠itâs so surreal to me, heâs the reason I even fell in love with Ufc/MMA back when I was like 10 years old & now Iâm about to experience my first ever mma sesh with him, im so pumped bro, but thereâs gonna be so many people there trying to impress him so I gotta just keep my guard up & fake a jab then shoot for a takedown đ
@@triocha233 wow congrats man đđŒ come back here after he trains yâall. Would exactly like to know how great his teaching and mentality really is
I still want to see Jones and Francis. Dana, make this happen!!
Respect for Mr. Jones.
Great career. đ
I canât even begin to describe how excited I am to meet Jonny Bones in person.
Still feels like a dream that heâs coming down to Australia & NZ đŠđșđłđż
Lucky af man. Jealous here, Jon is the ultimate legend
Jones Jones will forever be remembered as the Mayweather of MMA.
minus the business savviness but plus the peds.
Jon Jones' spaceship waiting overhead to take him home
Jon has become a national treasure, good man. Surprised that he didn't do more interviews after the heavyweight belt...
That's cuz people keep on asking sergie fight to him, so he disappeared to escape the irritation
He's not a good man lolololol do your research
he's dope but he isn't a good person lol
@@wakeup1783 you are a good guy,then?
Yea he's a great man. Bashes his wife, abuses drugs a drug cheat, abuses police .. the list goes on.. hopefully one day your daughter finds a great man just like Jon Jones
The difference between Sergei and Rampage is Jon canât place is hand on his forehead as a defence lol. Sergei would be the first guy that Jons fought that has an identical reach, and he has a nasty jab not just overhands.
He meant in terms of streak, like gane was not on ko streak, let alone first round
He'd get taken down and finished tho
@@ionlybringthistoyoubecause1783 I donât know about that I think him and Jon is a 50/50 fight.
@@ionlybringthistoyoubecause1783 I donât know about that, I think him and Jon is a 50/50 fight. Blaydes is the best heavyweight wrestler by far and was terrified to shoot on Sergei because of hand speed.
@@rileycoleman126 it's 50/50 for maybe 3 minutes of the 1st round.
I got into ufc durinng the Covid 2020 season so I wasnât able to experience the true Jon Jones experience at LH but I was able to watch him agains Gane but that was only 2 min lol and now one more time vs stipe :( wish I could see more
Anyone who knows fighting knows Jon Jones is best ever. The greatest resume ever.
Never thought I would hear Jon Jones agree with Luke Thomas. I thought they hated each other.
Make a reunion đ
Pls don't retire
Stipe and Ngannou are the only fights that Jones should entertain now
Jones vs Ngannou is the dream fight
*was* Francis buried that
@@positivevibes532 we still wanna see it
@@tonyebiere551 *you* not I
He doesnât want Sergei. He wants Francis (who hits harder). All you guys who think he is scared need to calm down.
Fair point but Iâd take Sergei over Ngannou heâs a far better boxer.
Sergei beats people by landing 4-5-6-10 punch combos on like a Dustin Poirier.
Jon won't just stand there taking all those hits.
Francis would have the bigger chance couse he only has to land 1
Of course landing 1 on Jon is still very difficult he has a great distance game, moving kicking he can shoot under takedowns and has a chin to rely on if necesserly
On the flip side neither Sergei or Francis has anything to rely on against Jones on the ground or in kicking range.
Everyone wants Sergei Vs Jones.
Hardcore mma fans maybe. But that does get Jon the ppv money
@@egarci1010 yeah I can see why he doesnât take the fight, like he said, high risk low reward. Shame Ngannou left that would have been amazing to see.
â@@draneyx5415nah easy for Jones , you just wish he loses but Jon will pick him apart
@@malaminceesay6554Nah Francis dismantled Stipeâs ground game in the second fight by grappling, where he was exposed for not having a ground game in the first fight. Gane has absolutely no wrestling or grappling so Jon definitely isnât just going to walk through Francis. I mean even Francis controlled Gane on the ground.
@@socialmediaego Francis has no skill, only power. Need more than a punchers chance against Jon jones. He would make Francis look easy.
Damn, was hoping he would fight a couple more fights at heavyweight. Stipe, Francis, Fedor and Brock would be awesome. Pull the legends out of retirement for the legacy fights.
Damn bro I don't want to see that happen to fedor... Thats Ice cold. Stipe is mean enough, he's gonna get smashed out there.
If it was prime Fedor it would be probably a legendary fight but man he is already old lmao
Werdum should come back to fight jones maybe
Jones is the guy that everybody says "Ok, this is the fight he's going to lose". It almost always ends up a blowout the other direction. Stipe has decent wrestling, but not on Jones' level. His boxing isn't going to save him in my opinion, Gane has better striking and was immediately defused. Francis is the fight to make, though with his focus on boxing of late, would he be the same MMA force he'd become prior?
Bones the GOAT...will be very sad to not have a god level talent in the sport. The anticipation for his fights has always been on another level! I and the sport will miss you dearly in the landscape of MMA John! Always wish you the best on your journey!
Sergei might might remind him of Glover, who was also primarily a standup fighter when jon beat him at his own game, but i can guarantee he wouldnt be trying to stand and bang with sergei or its goodnight.
Heavyweight are different story one hit he done if Reyes fucked him up Francis and Sergei are the only guys that can ko jones he smart not to fight the young guys.
Obviously he won't bang it out with a young 260 pound boxer at HW When he can just take him down and get an easy W
I would love to see him fight Ngannou, but I think Jon's coming out of his prime. Bro best fighter of all time.
Oh he definitely wants more money. He just said if the ufc comes with the right numbers, he will fight Sergei
Donât retire yet Big Jon you are so far ahead of these dudes go make that money. You will smoke Stipe like you do all these dudes. This is the real goat Bones Jones, everyone knows that.
It makes all the sense to retire after the next fight because he would basically be 30-0 all the controversial stuff aside...
Really down to earth guy. He makes a really good point about fighting Sergei. High risk, low reward. Anytime your fighting a knockout artist, you can get knocked out, even if there is only a 5% chance. Low money because no one really knows Sergei.
Gane was probably more appetizing to Jones because Gane had a little more credibility by going toe to toe with Francis plus Jones knew Gane would have no chance on the ground.
Yeah, Jon evokes a lot of visceral awe and respect from fans... it shows especially on the faces of skinny kids.
He dont want that Sergei smoke
Round 1 submission, taken down in first minute and dominated
@@bighutch2202 He literally said he wouldn't fight him in the video you're commenting on đ
â@@leebinpoggersmomento6101 if the fight happens jones beats him, sergie is good but still not that experienced and may beat jones after 3 years or maybe 3.5
@le Ebin poggers momento unless for right price he said. Him not seeing Sergei as interesting challenge is not the same as him not wanting the smoke. There are levels to this game.
@@bighutch2202 It doesn't really matter, he's the clear number 1 contender. It would be okay if he said he would fight him with stipe as a tune up fight, but openly saying "I will retire before i fight the number 1 contender" is a suspicious no matter what.
This ozzie got to interview the ultimate warrior!
I hope Stipe pulls out and Sergei steps in.
will only get rescheduled lol jones doesn't do short notice fights
@@craig9345 Yeah, right! Even if it's rescheduled I'd prefer him vs sergei đ
@@spideyz64 you guys will just be disappointed again, outside of power what else have you guys seen from Sergei
@@craig9345 much more than weâve seen from stipe recently
â@@craig9345 his long arms and maybe good takedown defence
Wouldnt matter who you fight down here would be awesome to see ya fight in aus
Wouldn't mind seeing him fight either Big Sergei or Big Tom.
The undisputed GOAT no question.
I m not a fan on Jon but I respect him. This guy is a beast who knows himself.
Jones looks like hes eating whatever he wants. đ
Lol thank God I wasnât the only one thinking that
But he said heâd slim down for his next appearance
@@juliussenyo2332 not slim. He said more lean but the same weight
After what happened to Triple C alot of active legends each won't be wanting to risk their legacy.
Changed man
JJ is the most interesting and complex fighter with meticulous, calculating fight IQ, high skill level and blessed athletic physical gifts.
He looks more huge here
Tai is a fun exciting fight but Sergei is a one trick pony?? Lmao okay Jon is making it seem like heâs đŠ ing
In australia bot can't even listen properly
Yep , greatest MMA fighter of all time is scared of another human being. Keep dreaming. Please watch what happened when Overeem fought Pavlovich? And JJ trained for a long time with Reem when he was at LHW. He smokes him. But you were probably one of those who said Gane would beat JJ.
Easy first round finish for Jon. Sergei only has one threat. I hope that fight happens so i can bet my house on Jon
@@kggarkalns1358 Everybody thought Gane would literally KO Jon In RD 1, only to find out Gane didn't land one significant strike when he fought Jon XD.
Alot of people think Johnny boy has the Stipe fight in the bag!!! They shouldn't count their chickens before they hatch!!! Plus, don't forget Sergei!!!
The Goat!
All he automatically assumes he's going to win with no question about it
After beating Stipe,I want Jon to knockout Curtis Raza Blade....đ
Is Jon, is good!
Win or loss against Miocic Jones would still be a legend and the most convincing argument in the GOAT discussion.
You know youâre great when your haters start loving you! Two fighters in my life time has stood out as the greatest. Jon jones. And the boxer Joe calzaghe.
I agree he's not afraid of Sergei but. he calls him the same as guys he beat so why/what makes him want to beat stipe who's not not currently a really interesting challenge to fans either
Legacy, beating Sergei will not add anything to it.
In 16 years Jones fought everyone and no one could ever beat him. Impressive
Go get em champ đđđ GOATed many times over. Win, lose or draw against the Great Stipiocic still GOATed more so than anyone ever
Everybody wants to see that fight
Scary as hell
Jones and nganu after stipe will be a freaking fight
Even if Jones does lose to Stipe, that wonât diminish his legacy, what heâs accomplished and vice versa for Stipe. I donât think he will lose though. Even if he were to feel bitterly about such an outcome, he did the damn thing! Hell, just to be able to say that one has competed in the UFC period is noteworthy.
Notice how he dodged the Brock question? Even though Brock is older, JJ knows he would get handled. Brock would dismantle him
I would love for Jones to fight more. He did things in the octagon that I never saw before. He perfectly mixed striking and grappling kind of like GSP, but Jones was better at both than GSP. To my knowledge GSP never took down an Olympic wrestler twice in one fight.
But Jones is right. He is old in fight years. As good as he looked against Gane, the truth is that he isn't the fighter he used to be. Does Jones really have anything to prove?
It is foolish talk to say Jones is dodging anyone. Look at his resume. He fought the best of the best. Most of the legends he defeated where on the wrong side of their prime, but he still made most those fights look way too easy.
Lets goo GOAT
He literally just signed 8 fight deal with the UFC to fight 8 times. That means he still has the fight for the UFC 7more times and the UFC is not going to make it easy or allow him to fight for any other organization.
It so sucks that him and Brock never went at it. That wouldâve been crazy. Come on Brock come back for one more
I love Jon jones. Besides Fedor heâs my favorite fighter.
Wow , Jon bringing up Luke Thomas's Name ???! đ€đ§
đ€Ł
He gained all that weight for Francis only to not even need it! Waste of 3 years of his prime. He could have taken down Gane at 225lbs which he was at LHW. And he already said he was coming down to fight Stipe so again, that weight gain and taking 3 years off was all for nothing.
And now he comes back and already wants to retire! Smh.
I am assuming that is just his way of leaning on Dana to give him a lot more money to stay. He was not happy with his money for years and also why he sat out for so long.
I am guessing Dana will give him more money now that he has the HW belt.
Jones could do with a better name, Big Evil works for me, I'd like to see him fight again soon.
đ.
Next level jon Jones
I am a fan!
đ
If one wants to be considered the best, then you need to fight the best such as Pavlovich and as anyone know, the reason why people donât know about Pavlovich is because heâs a Russian in American organization, which has protected you from the start, but not him. For example, Khabib, who hasnât even lost a round in his professional career was not considered the best pound to pound of all time until may be recently if even then. Look at Stipe who took fight with anyone even when he was 30 pounds underweight and you just pick and choose to fight which is fine but donât call yourself the best if you donât fight the best. Fight Pavlovich and letâs see . Facts.
I cant wait to meet the GOAT!!!
Three years off to build up to HW to have two fights. What a shame. He missed the biggest fight in UFC history against Francis despite Francis calling for it numerous times. A second win at HW does not make him the most dominant HW of all time 3 equals stipe and 4 makes him undeniable. I pray he has 3 more fights in his tank.
Jones is the best ufc fighter and the most visious fighter đȘ
Jon jones is a living legend, i grow up watching his fights, he is the greatest fighter of all time in the ufc, u cant take this from him but i wished i had the chance to see jones vs nganou even that i really dont like francis as a character
Who the food is Tai Tutuivasa?đ
I believe Jones is the only guy who can stop Pavlovich. Once he retires, Sergie will run through the whole division until he's old.
Nope!! Sergei will beat Johnny boy!!
I think Gane has high chance as well
Jon would probably smash him on the ground after some distance play.
But Sergei never seemed to be an offencive grappler he only boxes.
And Cirly has great footwork, very fast even slightly faster than Sergei who had big success couse of his punching speed against lower guys like Tai and Dereck and Blades.
So it would be intresting going up against a faster more well rounded striker.
Actually i think Gane beats him.
As far as i know Sergei is a big long reach boxer with fast hands that's it
No kicking or wrestling.
Gane can move around chop down the legs breaking him down a little clinchkng up if he gets pressured to much, landing knees elbows.
Back to the kicking again.
Once Sergei slows down Gane can put him away
Like sure Sergei can win it too, but like i don't think Gane will be stupid enough to just brawl with Sergei in round 1 like how Tai did.
Cirly is smarter than that we saw him using his speed and kicks to beat up bigger harder punchers many times.
I don't see why Sergei would be any diferent.
He is a little bit younger amd russian but that's about it
People just like to hype him up couse you guys know UFC probably won't make him vs Jones.
So Jones will never get the chance to dominate him on the ground so you can say later on that "Jon was scared of Sergei he knew he would lose and didn't wanted that fight" đ
@@EmeralArcher The truth is, we'll never know, unless Johny boy is ready to take the risk once again.
@@LNGD_46 "Johny boy"
Are you his dad or something? đđ
You act like Sergei wouldn't risk his win streak and only Jones can lose a fight here which is bullshit
@@LNGD_46 And by the way this is your big argument that "well we won't know so actually doesn't matter you were right about every point and i can't argue with any of them" đ
They throw enough money at him heâll fight two more times vs Tom and Sergei, assuming he can get past stipe which is no cakewalk like everyone thinks it may be. Iâm saying stipe will win.
Dude almost comes across as a non-sociopath in this interview.
If ngannou could ever come back to the ufc the jones fight is definitely worth it
great interview, great champion. GOAT.
JON STILL GOT SMOKE FOR IZZY MY GOATđđđ„đ
He's way too big now. Jones at LHW smokes Izzy. HW Jones big brothers him.
I hope itâs good smoke bro, ya feel me?
â@@The_Roosta true size matters alot and Izzy is like gane , pure great striker that's it
@@paulrichardson5667 I was talking about the idea of Izzy pulling up with his crew on Jonđđđźâđš
@Suhail Shaikh yeah and against guys his size, Izzy has impeccable takedown defense. He's able to stop the takedown or get right back up. None of them MW guys can keep him down, once he gets up around LHW and HW those guys will take him down much easier.
Come on Jones. Us fan's wanna see you fight Sergei & Francis before you retire!
Thatâs on Francis and Dana and their egos
Foight or fight ?
đđđ
He is already a đ!!!!!
But if he beat :Stipea, frances and Sergei he will forever be đ even after the world is over.
Random interview outlets from Jon. France, now NZ...
Regardless, sad he plans to retire after Stipe even thoigh he claimed he has a lot more..
Stipe and then fight tom. Sergei is good but not all that technical.
He's Trolling! he knows he has to fight Sergei!...and Tom...and Jailton...and some forth guy who works his way thorough the ranks
