Jon Jones Is Hurting His Legacy By Holding Up The Heavyweight Division

Спорт

In this video I discuss Jon Jones and Tom Aspinall's dispute and how I believe Jon would be better off by retiring instead of waiting around for a fight with Stipe Miocic. The more he holds up the heavyweight division, the worse it looks for his legacy. Let me know what you guys think in the comments.

    Finally, some common sense. What a legacy Jones will have at HW with a win against Stipe, nevermind the paper interim champ, he's nothing. That active Stipe really deserves this fight. Also, what happens if the fight does not happen for some reason? Is Dana going to say that it's still on for 2025?

    This hurts the UFC brand too. The UFC sells the Heavywight Title Fight as determining who is the baddest man on the planet.

Why do I come to the UFC if they don’t actually provide what they are selling?

But it's a real head scratcher as to why the UFC is so stubborn in wanting to put together a fight that's unlikely to sell that much better than Jones-Aspinall even though this will castrate their heavyweight division for years to come.

    Just the idea of an interim champion having to DEFEND their belt instead of immediately fighting the champ is downright ridiculous. Dana shoul've called up Jon the second he was out for more than 6 months and asked him to vacate the title. Have Tom fight Stipe for the belt sometime in February/March, and the winner fights Jon Jones when he returns. Would've saved the HW division.

The UFC is. Jones is free to say he’ll fight whoever he wants whenever he wants, but the UFC need to say: not for the belt you ain’t. The champ is the only guy in the division who doesn’t get to dictate anything. All champs should only ever be matched up with the best, most deserving, most relevant threat to dethrone him.

But why should Stipe lose the title fight he already has when it wasn't his fault it was cancelled & postponed? At the end of the day, it's the UFC's call, not Jones', Stipe or Tom.

    I think Ngannou is a big factor in all of this. He is rising as one of the biggest stars in combat sports after being ufc heavyweight champ, going over to boxing and knocking down fury. Dana wants to push the narrative that he was ducking Jones and that the ufc still has the best heavyweight (and mma goat) in Jon jones. That’s why the Stipe fight is important, to give Jones an opportunity to get Stipe out faster than Ngannou. Winning to Aspinal does nothing. Losing to Aspinal does so much worse. Jones fighting Ngannou and losing will destroy the narrative they are trying to push. Oh well, I guess it is what it is

    It will hurt Jones legacy. Why?!? Because everyone right NOW is saying hes ducking aspinall for a washed stipe, that just doesn't go away. An old example I can think of is Marciano vs Louis, that fight happened 70 YEARS AGO and everyone knew before the fight louis wasn't the same fighter he used to be, and even know 70 years later people STILL say louis was washed in that fight. Jones fighting stipe only would look good for the casuals who barley watch the ufc and resume skim fighters, which may be what he wants but for people who actually watch the sport they will know the true story.

    Jon Jones ducked Francis, and he is also ducking Aspinall. It's no secret that he wants the easier fight with Stipe at this point. But actually, he should be aiming to fight Ngannou, not Stipe. If he really cares about legacy and wants to build his resume (though he doesn't really need to), he has to beat Ngannou

    It's clear as day: the UFC protects Jones, so Dana can say they have the "best and baddest fighter ever", now at HW. They did not make the Ngannou/Jones fight which could have been masive, Dana throwing Francis under the bus, saying he ran to PFL to fight lesser competition. The man went and fought the WBC world boxing champion in his boxing debut and looked quite good. Is it really a surprise that Jon's long awaited HW debut, came as Francis was basically out of the UFC? Of course they made it look like Jones really wanted that fight and it was only Ngannou's fault it didn't happen. A very similar story now, Jones is ducking Tom for a final match against Stipe the legend. If Stipe is still that good, why not prove it against Tom in the meantime? I'm just so tired of Jones and his legacy at this point...

    Generally agree, but while it would not mean much to a casual fan, a win against Aspinall would mean a lot to the diehards. This is truly the new breed and not just a striker like Gane either, if he beats him then he has truly ruled across two divisions over at least three eras. That would be magnificent. OTOH I wouldn’t hold a loss against him that badly depending how he looks. He has kind of been checked out for years. All that said casual fans are dominant and he has fucked his legacy anyway with the picograms and all that so he may as well retire

    This is the age old argument that fans will not let a man retire on top. If khabib is allowed to leave on his terms, we can do the same for Jon. It’s always hard for the next Gen to begin without that belt, but it is what it is. Your argument for someone being allowed to say they “beat the goat” is also flawed because it would just result in people coming out to say “he was never that good.” Hence, you saying adesanya sucks. You saying beneil is overrated. You saying Charles was going to be dominated, etc.

Jones and Stipe at least will make decent money, and then the HW division will continue to move on without the chance of harming the stock of a future star.

The power of those liver leg kicks were just devastating. Combined with Bas' "laugning lion" fighting spirit and pouncing ability, the barroom bouncer from Holland will always be for me the leading edge and "bitcoin standard" of UFC fighting mastery.

Like I said before Jones beat Gane when everyone was literally hyping up Gane about how he’s the new generation of heavyweight and Gane went 5 Full rounds with Francis and there’s plenty people that thought he won. I think that Stipe would beat Gane so I don’t see how Stipe is not a top contender there’s a good chance he beats Jones I know for sure he’ll put up a better fight than Gane and he was literally #1 at the time.
