Jonny gaslights his fans all the time and they buy it.
We love it like her fiance no diddy
You don’t even know what gaslighting means …
He has 13 title defenses…
13
“It's making someone seem or feel unstable, irrational and not credible, making them feel like what they're seeing or experiencing isn't real, that they're making it up, that no one else will believe them.” Gaslighting involves an imbalance of power between the abuser and the person they're gaslighting.
There’s a good definition…. What Jon Jones does is real…
If anything his critics are gaslighting him, but really they’re living in a delusional state of mind … you just can’t cope with the fact he’s the best MMA fighter ever
@@chuckschickbaldtacoscan you explain why Stipe deserves title shot?
@@chuckschickbaldtacosnobody cares
He needs to fight contenders
Jon wont come out of the closet.. cuz Aspinall is standing outside of it
From what I've heard he whispered through the crack of the closet :"Have to ever been fingered by an MMA fighter. 🤣
👏
😂😂😂
I just don't get how people don't see it. Jones has basically done this his whole career. First, he fights a bunch of middleweights who had already all beat each other for years. Then, he fights Gus (arguably loses) and DC, in which he pops for steroids. After that, he has some questionable wins against Santos and Reyes (he lost 3-2) and doesn't fight for years. Now, he has come back and fought once against someone who couldn't grapple and is avoiding Aspinall by all means. He's also avoided Cain in his prime, Stipe in his prime, Francis and now basically every hard match up at HW there is for a 40 + year old Stipe and yet another former middleweight who can't grapple. He is not the goat but he is the duck.
Thank you. I been saying this.
Hilarious take. Just say it bro. You hate the way that he walks, the way that he talks.
Or its just as easy to say you dont like him because A. He's black B. He beat your favorite fighter C. Your friend doesnt like him and you want to copy your friends opinion.
@youcantseeme2244 i like that you list out pure facts and people respond by whining with emotional shit like "you dont like him"
I think the idea is that Stipe is consider the greatest HW champ in UFC history (based on number of defenses). Jon thinnks beating Stipe somehow transfers that dubious title to him. It doesn't. No one wants to see this fight. Stipe said in a recent interview he does some training around the fire house. He is not training hard anymore. Jon is fat and slow. This is a "legends fight." Tom is the real champ.
Jones must be stripped. Tom is the real UFC heavyweight champion. Fact.
Jiri got stripped for less. Just UFC breaking all their rules to make a better looking main event.
Stop saying he must be stripped we all know they would never dare do that
Askren is right on the money here to be honest. Jones is clearly not wanting to risk it vs Tom and sees a path to victory in Alex, the denial is insane by Jones fans
Bro if he wasnt thinking like that it would be so rare. Imagine being the mma goat on the tail end of ur career and not thinking of an up and coming fighter as just a high risk low reward fight. Ofc he rather fight the only glory souble champ, double ufc champ no wrestler alex pereira
@@rrai-then he can vacate the belt and do whatever he wants. Or he fights the interim champ
@@a_youtube_enjoyer3551 hey guys lets play by the rules ok
@@rrai- Agree. But do not hold up the division and act like it isnt the case. He clings onto this notion that Tom is not relevant, even though he is the IC. Pathetic stuff, he should just come out and say he wants the easier fights at this stage
I don't think anybody is in denial, obviously Pereira is an easier fight for Jon. Most importantly, it's a more lucrative fight. That said, I think Jon would beat Aspinall, but I understand that it's not worth the risk. If he loses, it stains his perfect record. If he wins, people will say Aspinall wasn't that good to begin with (who has he beaten other than Pavlovich?). It's just not worth it.
Jones' twitter replies are 90% "Fight Tom or Vacate" so i don't think he's convincing anyone apart from his die hard fanboys
Exactly
Who is Tom? The 🐐 can't fight a nobody who got a lucky punch against another nobody to get a fake belt. Alex on the other hand is a 2 division champion with better standup. It's an obvious decision...
@@ftclips-qu8shplease. Tom would end jones unbeaten streak. Tom is the best guy in the division, if jones is “too GOATED” to fight the best guy in his division, he should retire because clearly he’s surpassed the entire sport and no one is worthy of sharing the cage with him
@@ftclips-qu8shhahahahahahhahahahahahahhahahaha
The most I’ve ever agreed w Askren.
So DC just admitted that Jon is afraid of Aspinall
Ben is 💯 right!!!!! Also is very risky for Tom to wait considering Jon only fights every 3-4 years!!!! So Tom can’t afford to wait!!! Everyone acts like Jon didn’t fight fat old out of shape men from pride who should have retired then when he had Gustafson or Reyes he had serious trouble!!! Everyone knows Reyes got robbed and tarnished his record at light heavyweight!!!
A whole nother level of hating
From pride with some wear and tear yes, out of shape?! No way. He was also 23… most 23 y.o’s rn are still picking their ass.
@@manofsteelixHe was fighting 28 year old and older guys....
@@manofsteelixActually now that I think about it MOST of his opponents when he was in his prime were literally past 30
Definitely have a point, was also a different era man. Harder to do stuff like that now.
The fact that the interim belt will probably be defended before a unification fight , says everything about Jon being a "champion", this the type of stuff that damages a already damaged legacy
I urge you to look up how interim positions work for every other job. Then maybe you and Tom can learn something together.
Jones tore his peck off the bone, it would actually say more about Tom if he didn’t fight for nearly a year, especially considering the only reason he was even offered an interim title shot was to save the card Jon jones vs stipe were scheduled to fight on… Tom didn’t actually earn an interim title shot, he’s only on a 2 fight win streak, one was a bum the other was a low iq hype train just like Tom Gimp Kneespinall
@@zombieepx1933he's on a 2 fight win streak because he got injured. He's literally had the fastest streak of finishes in the ufc.
Do you even know what the word interim means?
@@youngeeneden1594 nope
Fact of the matter is jons belt is no longer undisputed while Tom walks with a strap. If jon wasnt intimidated by Tom this fight would happen. Jon cant beat Tom.
he can but he dont want to train hard for it and it may be a tough fight for him but perira is easier
Jones needs to stop talking about legacy if he's going to fight a non wrestler for the HW title then avoid fighting the intern HW and just fight a LHW that again does not wrestle then retire afterwards.
The heavyweight division is dead 😅
Jones has beat hall of famers an out wrestled Dc
Please Jon just fight Aspinal
Its ridiculous that we are even discussing that JJ isnt being forced to unify the belt. Its absolute trash and it degrades all of the UFC belts. Its taking away from everything that the champs have worked for. JJ has 1 win at HW and hes is sitting on a title defence for over a year. Aspinall is gonna fk him up and he knows it
Toms a hype train, literally has one top 5 win, and only on a two fight win streak lol. The only reason he was offered an interim was because Dana white needed to save the card jones got injured on. A big event at Madison square garden and stipe vs jones no longer on it, the ufc had to pull something together. Tom didn’t fight his way to the top to earn something like that, it was gifted lol. He should be thanking Jons injury for making him relevant. Just don’t cry too hard when he loses.
Absolutely JJ is ducking Tom Aspinall if he tries to make Perriera the next fight, and he knows he can beat him quickly by taking him down
and beating him, or submitting him, but Aspinall, is a different matter all together, he would whoop JJ's arse and he knows it
So that means aspinall is ducking gane by your logic. Got it
@@m.j.e.5245 Gane isn't holding the interim belt is he? you Fkwit
@@m.j.e.5245gane was ducking Aspinall there is evidence of this
@@m.j.e.5245 Tom will gladly fight anyone the UFC put in front of him. He's never turned down a fight and said he never will.
Jones would never stand with Alex
No one cares about Jones fighting Stipe and he is ducking Tom so he is gaslighting with all the tweets about Alex. Jon needs to fight Tom
We cared 6 months ago. Things change. Pererira is now a super star on a historical path. Easier fight yes, we just rather see it.
If jones wouod say "yeah aspinal is a tough guy and i want to retire instead of fight him" rather than "lol theres no way youre good enough to even step in the cage with me" thered be less of a problem
Speak the truth! Tom deserves a title fight rn, defend it once if Jon’s fighting stipe but then there is no excuses. Jon’s gotta scrap him or it looks bad idc
Ben Askren is on the money with this one, JbJ would get Alex out of there even before the fight started with a double leg and a guillotine.
Look at DC giggling knowing hes advocating for a BS, duck vs duck matchup.
Because if he doesn’t Jon is gonna throw another fit on twitter and bring up him beating DC like 8 years ago or whatever
Who would Alex be ducking?
@@tristhekid Ankalaev.
It's because DC works for the UFC so he's gotta be a mouthpiece@@notaburner5002
JJ hasn't fought the best heavyweights and it's to the point where he looks scared to do so. If you're going to be a heavyweight be a heavyweight.
Right? This is not about one fighter, this is a sport where the best should fight the best, if you are not willing to do that retire, period.
@@mrboombastic8369sorry, its about the 🐐, just like it is about McGrgor when he is active 🤷♂️
How has he not fought the best heavyweight he beat Gane who was seen as the best heavyweight when Tom was even in the conversation and Jon washed him
Ok if Jon only wants to chase money fights thats fine but he has to vacate the belt. If you want to call yourself champion you have to fight the interim champion.
But now that Jon is fighting Stipe he is the illegitimate champion.
Aspinall is now the legit champ.
Jon will get his ass handed to him
I believe that the UFC is working to twist Jon's arm to fight Tom via the interim belt and that letting him fight Stipe first is a part of the strategy. Dana is saying publicly that Jon can do whatever he wants. That does not in any way mean that that's the same way he talks about it behind closed doors. They hate it when a champ leaves on a win. They need the belt to get taken from them so that it has a proper lineage. If they retire without losing or beating the guy who will succeed him, a question is left open - is the new champ really the best in the world? Keep blasting Jon on Twitter and IG, let him know his legacy would be better if he fought Tom and lost than if he didn't fight him at all. And, show some respect for Stipe. It is in no way his fault that this situation was created and he has a real chance. He has better boxing, serious power, and wrestle. As Anthony Smith would say, on paper, scribble over the age and he is a much bigger threat than Francis ever was. Francis had a puncher's chance, a real one for sure, but far less technical and complete of a skill set. You're either unaware of or ignoring his resume if you don't think Stipe has a chance and Jon coming off an injury *could* go a long way in balancing out the age difference (plus, age matters much less at HW). Stipe has also spent much more time in the octagon over the last four years than Jon, and given the duration and extremely low output that happened in the Gane fight, it barely counts for having fought more recently and certainly wasn't enough to shake off any ring rust there might have been. Jon has also never taken a proper punch to the face from a HW in a real fight, and we don't yet know how he will respond. Blast Jon, but trust the process. The UFC will fight very, very hard to get him to fight Tom, and they are playing chess behind the scenes.
This is the correct take.
Jon is using his coping fanboys as a negotiating tool.
Stipe's 42, retirement age but has put on muscle since the Francis fight (bt his own admission) so I don't think he'll be walked over like most people think
Jones is 36, that's still prime for a HW
If the UFC doesn´t pay Jones "whatever" for Aspinall, and then "overpay" him and Stipe, after Jon relinqueshes, or Strip Jon as he clearly doesn´t want to partake in the sport, then something can happen, if they want Jones.
Jones clearly is playing hard, while he is full of doubt.
Nothing is as should be, as far as actual conduct of people who care, but made BIG ERRORS and Ego powermongering trips, but are repenting.
Jones either fights Aspinall next, or he relinquishes the title, and fights Stipe.
These are not mistakes, this didn´t come out of left field, this is not something remotely debatable. The pay issues and "starpower" comes from the UFC not managing people into athletes that have the league to lean on, only some are portrayed by media as really good, while the rest of the division is being slept on. For the mirage of involvement White shows, nonthing makes sense, none of the steps taken are his. They are a clout company lead by Dana. It was way worse some years back.
The UFC is a Joke, and the Old Champ and Interim needs to happen first. The consistency and intent, the actual windows are maintained by the fights they make as they make sense per contenders ranks. Themoney splurging and staaying Rich that Dana is used to is just a symptom of an ass not givign a fuck, yet finding his niche. He is smart, but also an asshole.
Jones aboslutely cannot fight Pereira or Stipe. Not without fighting Aspinall, and then, Stipe cannot fight Jones without an extra fight while Jon recovers in an understandable, legit(!) timeframe. Either do "old man fights", and praise Aspinall and others as deserved, and do note say "The GOAT JONES" is there to take ova´.
Let jon DO WHAT HE CLAIMS HE IS(!!!) DOING, and clean the division with 2 fights, then Aspinall for BIG money, or go with the fucking black and white meaning of the two belts. The UFC sucks ass, absolutely sucks. No balls on these fighters as people of integrity. They are lost in wonderland and vices. They should be people first and foremost, and ride dana´s ass to town. Cannot be "grateful" to a dictator, as he destroys the surroundings.
He's the interim champion! What is there to even talk about, either you fight the IC or give up the title, if not then why even have it?
Jones is smart to be avoiding Aspinall.
I couldn’t imagine comfortably being a Jones fan.
Ben so right!
THANK YOU BEN!
JJ'S Is a UFC diva bro. Dudes legit terrified of losing to Tom
First dc copes for hill and now he’s basically advocating for jones to double leg Poatan in the first minute 😂
We're all with Ben here
Not all of us
@@ChaosWithLee not all but most. Jones don't want that real smoke challenge. He should vacate, since he just wants to hand pick fights after Stipe. Not a good look not fighting the actual belt holder.
Not at all
So you all wanna see him fight a LHW as we all wait more time for him to gain weight to fight in the HW division and get subbed because no ground game? Knowing Jones is gonna crotch sniff? And not fighting the next actual contender that has all the tools, and better fighter? He's ducking. Cope
Nope
DC is what's wrong with the heavyweight division
I think Jon chose Alex as he seenits as an easier win then Tom, who he won't be able to steamroll like he did gane, make Tom v Alex
Jon jones just trying to topic away form the guru video
I feel Ben isn't answering DC's question properly. It will be a huge payday fight because of the two names and opposing styles of fighting. Ben is answering a question DC didn't ask, which is around Jones picking Pereira because he feels it is a damn easy fight. Yes, completely agree, it would be a damn easy fight for Jones.
Where did the casuals come from that are these new die hard jones fans that don’t know he’s the biggest lier in the sport
why tf is stipe still in the ufc!! jones should fight tom ffs!!
Wouldn't it be great if Stipe knocked Jones out cold?
The crazy part is Jon is the one holding up the division, but still trying to call shots about who he fights.
McGregor call his shots, so should the 🐐. Jones - Perrerira, LETS GO!
@@bplayerr1 False equivalent, goofball. McGregor isn't a champion holding up a division. He's just an attraction fight at this point. Also, Jones has 2 fights lined up, so STFU with your fanboy bs.
@@bplayerr1 Wrong. McGregor is just an attraction fight. He's not holding up any championships. False equivalent. Jon has two fights waiting before that's a thing.
Alex can't wrestle. Jon thinks its the easy fight. Not surprised by this push by Jones to go after the hotter fighter that's more in the spotlight ($$$). But this is where the UFC blurs the line between MMA & pro-wrestling. Jon shouldn't get to pick who he fights when he is champ. Particularly since there is an INTERIM champion out there! Unify or vacate. He doesn't get to pick. It's not about a "payday." It's about the integrity of the sport. The UFC is a joke if it doesn't unify the belts. Might as well call it KFC.
McGregor has been doing this for yrs and we act like its new w their panties up in a bunch. Lets GO 🐐!
It's so comical watching the Jones brigade vs the Alex brigade. Two of the most toxic fanbases in MMA.
Took the words right out of my mouth. If I had to pick one however, I'd say that alex pereira fans are worse.
Tom fanbase is pretty cringe too. Dude has done literally nothing and his fans think he deserves everything
@@m.j.e.5245 Nobody says he deserves everything, but he deserves the undisputed heavyweight belt. Jon should vacate as he has no plans of furthering the division.
5:44 - "Just say it then!" Exactly!
Suprising they didn’t mention the rumors of him being gei
Really? :') I've not heard. Do tell.
@jaysalisbury193 Watch MMA GURU'S video on it. He actually made 2 videos on how there are a LOT of evidence on how jon jones is a closet homosexual. It's quite interesting.
@@user-xr3ul2xc1lIt would expalin the dick pills he said he took while being in his late 20’s when he popped the first time
These wrestlers hate that Poatan has done more in limited time in the UFC vs their careers 😂
they be complaining 'waa what if alex vsd a wrestler!!' but none of their wrestlers are even close to a belt except magomed i guess. not alexs fault the wrestlers arent at the same ranking he is
Jones is ducking so hard
I don't see that
Wrestling still beats everything else... And as great as Poatan is, he has not faced a great grappler yet so there's still plenty of doubts...
@@harsha1989able if wrestling beats everything else then why aren't any of them champions?
Shouldn't compare a potential Pareira fight with Gane. It is more comparable to the Marreta fight. And Jon was skittish in closing the distance because of Marreta power and his leg kicks.
Gane is not a power punch and got his grabbing exposed by Ngannou.
daniel saying 'uh-lex' and ben saying 'el-lux' lmao
I'm subbing because I like that Ben Askren has a good outlet like this. I don't know why I find him kinda funny.
Probably because he does 0 research and doesnt watch MMA anymore, he plays disc golf and coaches wrestling
Someone needs to sculpt Ben into a marble statues prompt
Jones crushes Alex! Tom beats both of them in the same night. I have never seen a 6.5', 265lbs man move like a damn welterweight. John is amazing, but was the younger bigger guy in most of his fights. And Tom is smashing dudes that are way bigger then Jones opponents.
BASED Askren
Lol who cares besides the ufc if it’s a money fight choose the fight that will actually be good
Thank you lmao people acting like their bank accounts are getting changed
Thank you 👏👏! Just like McGregor, Jones the 🐐 has earned the right to fight whoever the F he wants. As a fan, Pererira is the more exciting fight w historical implications.
@@bplayerr1 lmao mcgregor isn’t champ so it isn’t hurting anyone’s career to fight who he wants
I think yall missed one important point. Aspinal was eying the pereira fight and everyone saw it, i'm sure that JJ want's to cocknblock aspinal.
No ur confused. Pereira wanted to fight Aspinall because JBJ was insisting on fighting Stipe.
@@xeta180 Not confused in the slightest. After the pereira fight, aspinal posted a picture without a caption of him staring down alex while walking in. U must not be informed brother
@@MosesRaona I seen that, that was after Aspinal basically begged for Jon to fight him. So Aspinal moved on cuz jon told him to screw off.
@@xeta180 the interim champ 'basically begging' the champ for a fight. (theyre literally supposed to fight)
@@Luke.1779 exactly. I dont understand why Jon wants Stipe so bad other than the fact that its probably an easy win.
Easier fight ? When has any of Jon’s fights been easy ?
🎯💯🥊💥
UFC 151 the only cancelled event because Jon was too scared to fight Chael Sonnen
The only thing I'll say is if you say Jon doesn't want to fight the next generation, then there's no reason for him to fight Alex either 😂 you can't say Tom is the next gen so Jon doesn't want to, but he wants to fight Alex
McGregor call his shots, so should the 🐐. Jones - Perrerira, LETS GO!
Jones is using the Money Mayweather playbook. Make the most money with the least risk possible. It's smart. It's wise. But it sucks for the fans.
As a fan Im all about the Pereira fight
McGregor call his shots, so should the 🐐. Pereira is the easier fight but he is now a superstar 💫 on a historic path. A lot more exciting. Jones - Perrerira, LETS GO!
Ben is absolutely correct!
DC is right. Two things can be true. Aspinal might be both a harder fight [which i would still back JJ for win] and a worse payday. I'm which case why are we even questioning the logic.
Jones better bring his A game.....Alex will wipe the blood stains off the matt with him
Over 15 or so years ive learnt never bet agains bones, but i still want too see him fight aspinal!
Ben Askrens take is 💯
Bens spitting facts
Jon can fight who ever he wants after he beats Tom. The duck just knows Tom is the worst possible matchup for him and would probably be able to put him out before pillow hands Jones can take him to a decision
I got mad respect for what Jon has done, but I can't wait for the UFC to move on from him.
I'd rather see aspenall and Jones then any other fight
Jones vs Aspinall is the fight to make.
It’s Jon’s choice what he does. He’s looking at his last fight/last couple fights, and he’s been around long enough that he can do what he likes.
I agree forget the steep fight,
I swear they act like jons gonna go for takedowns he is older i dont think he gots that anymore.
Okay Alex got taken down but did he lose those fights? Also the way people bring up Alex’s wrestling annoys me when Izzy didn’t get that same treatment. People just stopped mentioning it after a couple of fights. When Alex gets taken down and subbed like it’s nothing, then bring it up but until then, hush
🎯💯🥊💥
Aspinall is the only fight Jones should be taking, the rest can wait.
He is the rightful contender, the next in line.
If Jones beats stipe then aspinall then they can have the peirerra fight if he is still champ after he fights ankalaev
We will let jones know immediately that Zeebone1931 will permit him to fight in that order.
This makes too much sense for casuals and JBJ brown-nosers apparently
Whoever fights Jones should get some form of eye poke clause written into the contract, how he gets away with his fingers constantly aiming at opponents eyes is beyond me. It seems deliberate to stop opponents closing the distance rather than keeping an open hand to deflect a shot or grab a hold of something.
I don’t think Aspinall should have to wait in line, he’s been finishing opponents and looking sharp doing it. I don’t see any fights that make sense for Aspinall other than for the belt, I wouldn’t say there is anyone he has to beat to prove he is worthy of a shot.
He has the shortest average fight time in the UFC, the largest striking differential in the UFC, and has 6 performance of the night bonuses. If that doesn’t get you a title fight I don’t know what does. 🏴
Ben is the knock highlight of ufc history.
He’s uncle Dana’s knock off Frank mirror😂
Did Ben suggest unifying the light heavyweight and heavyweight championships, did I hear that right?
Fighting Stipe would have been the move like 5 years ago. Now it's just an excuse for Jon to avoid Tom and try to cherry pick fights for "legacy"..... Jon's talking about IF Alex beats Tom, that would be the next fight to make, but what will be the excuse if Tom beats Alex??
Askren 😂 the guy who became striking meme in UFC.
... UFC though 😂

biggest duck in the sport next to Jones. Magomed haunts his dreams
@@tarzanstrickland🙄 have you seen that guy he does the haunting 🤷♂️ he will fight that dude and beat him up
@@sanperchannel9560 Then all the praise to him if he can. Im just tired of Jones talking about avoiding Tom for Alex, and Alex wants to fight a guy he just beat. Magomed is the fight, the new fight, two guys with good boxing. If Alex wants to fight again before 308, then suggest a date to fight Magomed there instead. He can deny Magomeds location of the callout if he wants, but ducking him entirely for a rematch or sitting out for Jones is not it.
@@tarzanstrickland He's not ducking Ankalaev, he just wants to fight ASAP because he's 37 and Ankalaev wants him to wait. He fought 3 times in 2022 and 3 times in 2023, already once in 2024. Fighting now means more money because of all the hype and he won't have all the time in the world to try the HW belt. On top of that Ankalaev behaves like a spoiled brat and wants to choose where and when as the challenger...
@@TiranoGatoRex So fight Ankalaev sooner. Ankalaev isnt "making him wait" he called him out.. are you new to the sport? Challengers call out champions like every single time. Set a new date if Pereira doesnt like the suggested date. Its not grounds to duck.
Jones has never fought someone his size that could wrestle like Tom Aspinall who’s actually a LOT bigger than Jon and has ground game. Aspinalls neck and head are like twice the size of Jon’s lmao
Hey what's going on Ben
Daniel is making a good strong man. But Ben is right.
Agree here entirely but Tom needs to do his job and promote interest for this fight. Call out Jones + shit on his avoidance behavior = profit. If you're too respectful to call him out then you're (likely) not going to succeed in the fight.
Pereira would be a big money fight for Jon and the UFC.
Why is DC giggling like he stashed a twinkie
Because this is the third of fourth podcast he's done this week and is spent mentally.
its not like hes not getting paid.
Bro nobody wants to see a aspinall fight thats the thing 😂😂😂
💯🎯
we all know Aspinal will ragdoll Jones and beat the crap out of him, problem is so does Jones, hes not that level of heavyweight, imagine Alexander Gustafsson giving Aspinal trouble in the Octogon... seriously?
I wanna see stipe beat Jon.
You’ve not factored in the casuals. The fight with Alex would be massive, Jones is right. It’s not right but it’s a fact. Sad for Tom. I’m an Aspinal fan, but make no mistake, I’d be very excited to see Jones vs Perrera!…. Of If I could make Jones fight Tom I would though
Dont underestimate Stipe
Strip jones or fight aspinal 2 options
How many takedowns has Tom stuffed or stopped in his UFC career?
Aspinall beats Jones . It’s unfair that the interim champion is next in line
Where the F is Ngannou?
I’ll take the kick-boxer light heavy weight instead of the big guy who’s gonna tap him
Tom is cool and a great fighter, but JBJ is the 🐐. Anyone he fights has more to gain from it than he does.
The ufc would be so much better off without fighters like Jones.
What a stain on a career to run and duck someone so hard. Jon HAS to fight Aspinal to actually cement a goat status. He already has the PED issues that contest it anyway. Ducking Tom is an embarrassment.
