Absolutely. Jon should be stripped, just because he's only fought once in 3 1/2 years, and appears to be ready for his last retirement fight. The way they are sidelining Aspinall to continue to "force" Jon Jones into the spotlight merely to promote Jon's status over Francis Ngannou, is completely unacceptable. This has nothing to do with Dana trying to help Jon; the UFC are trying to use Jon Jones for clout, to prevent Ngannou from getting any shine. And because of this Dana is ruining the UFC's heavyweight division, and also ruining Tom Aspinall's prime.

Jones is hoping people will get fooled into thinking it is a great matchup. He wants to retire undefeated and I think after Stipe he might do that. This is a bit like when Conor tried to fight Diego Sanchez for his comeback fight (ignored Gaethje's callout) during the height of Diego's mental issues. He thought people were so stupid that they would think him beating Diego would catapult him to a claim at a title shot with minimal risk.
