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…

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.
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.

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.
The most I’ve ever agreed w Askren.
Jones' twitter replies are 90% "Fight Tom or Vacate" so i don't think he's convincing anyone apart from his die hard fanboys

He should be thanking Jons injury for making him relevant. Just don’t cry too hard when he loses.

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
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.
@MNToThat
26 күн бұрын
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?

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.

@@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.

@@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.
I agree forget the steep fight,
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.
Did Ben suggest unifying the light heavyweight and heavyweight championships, did I hear that right?
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.
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.
Why is DC giggling like he stashed a twinkie

Jones better bring his A game.....Alex will wipe the blood stains off the matt with him
Jones vs Aspinall is the fight to make.
Bens spitting facts
Ben is absolutely correct!
I swear they act like jons gonna go for takedowns he is older i dont think he gots that anymore.
Strip jones or fight aspinal 2 options
Im amazed Cormier holds Jon jock so much.

Not at heavyweight he hasn’t
Ben is the knock highlight of ufc history.
Aspinall is the only fight Jones should be taking, the rest can wait. He is the rightful contender, the next in line.
He’s uncle Dana’s knock off Frank mirror😂
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. 🏴
Daniel is making a good strong man. But Ben is right.
I'd rather see aspenall and Jones then any other fight
i wonder if Jones is just promoting the fight agains aspinal by refusing it. I mean it would be brilliant, after all the talking it will definetly become te fight the everybody wanna see.
How many takedowns has Tom stuffed or stopped in his UFC career?
I agree with Ben in spirit but if Jon Jones was a likable guy we’d be saying Jon has earned the right to do what he wants.
Pereira would be a big money fight for Jon and the UFC.
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

The ufc would be so much better off without fighters like Jones.
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??
Pereira needs to fight his top contender Magomed and if Alex can prove that he can beat him, then challenge the Heavyweight Champ, whether it be Aspinall or Jones.

He beat the two top contenders by TKO/KO, why would he have to beat the third? Just because Muslim fans are delusional and think these guys are great everybody must follow suit? Especially when the challenger wants to choose where and when to fight and Pereira is already 37? Just no, especially since right now the HW champ is not well established, this is the time to go for it, not to mention the huge money in fighting Jones.

@@TiranoGatoRex "doesnt add much" is a complete lie. Pereira has yet to prove he can beat somebody whos a good grappler. People who actually watched the Jan fight know Jan could have got that decision. What does a Jiri rematch do for his resume? Absolutely nothing. People realize Magomed is obviously the next contender at LHW and potentially the uncrowned Champion. Youre using fake excuses to say he shouldnt fight Magomed. Magomed has the most wins and least losses at LHW. He has 6 KOS in the UFC.
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
5 seconds or was it 4
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
Are we forgetting what Jon did to Cyril Gane? And Cyril has better grappling than Pereira

Cyril has a coach who clearly does not understand grappling to the extent necessary to make a top-level MMA fighter. Francis got absolutely decimated by Stipe in their first match. Francis left the gym with the same coach as Cyril, worked on his wrestling, and wiped the floor with Cyril bc Cyril has no wrestling. Pereira trains with Glover, a high level grappler. That being said, Jon will probably take him down at will.

@@user-xr3ul2xc1l not sure how you can be so confident when Gane has noone of note in the grappling world to train with. Alex has knocked everyone out so his grappling has not really been tested. He got taken down by Izzy, but that was very early in his MMA journey. Having Glover train you for two years likely increases your grappling skills. Gane has not tapped anyone in the top 10 so having a submission win in the weakest division in men's MMA doesn't say much. Even now Cyrl hasn't adjusted his camp to improve his grappling. I'm not saying Alex is better, but I would not be so confident to state Cyrl has better grappling than Alex. Again, Francis dog walked him after 1-2 years of grappling at ATT. Still think Jones will destroy Alex if he can get a hold of him, but I would put money that Alex lasts longer than Cyril did.

>Cyril has better grappling then Pereira Lol nope. Ciryl has publically admitted that he only trains grappling when he's in fight camp. Outside of some jiujitsu, Ciryl can't grapple at all. Pereira on the other hand was just recently given his black belt under the tutelage of a highly prestigious coach in Glover Texeira. That and Pereiras always working his grappling year around. In no reality is Gane a better grappler.
Aspinall beats Jones . It’s unfair that the interim champion is next in line
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.
I wanna see stipe beat Jon.
Tom is cool and a great fighter, but JBJ is the 🐐. Anyone he fights has more to gain from it than he does.
