then he would have been the worst champ in history if he's that mentally pathetic.

i think it's one of the most significant robberies in ufc history. it alters the whole alternative

Devils advocate maybe here but tbf Reyes next fight after Jones would have been Jan whether he beat Jones or not. So had he gotten the decision over Jones, would that really have affected the Jan fight (and hence would it really have changed the course of his career)?

Nah reyes was a stylistic nightmare for jones good frame, boxing , TDD and chinny which doesnt matter cause jones is pillowfisted

Right 😂😂😂

Thats what im saying bro, since when trying to mean mug someone 10 years ago makes you go up in the p4p, what is that level of babbling

I know, right? Jon's a bit of a sociopath. That doesn't make you current P4P.

As if Strickland doesn't say shit like that every other week 😂 Should he be p4p No1 now? 😂

Facts

Like Lucas brought up Dana and the ufc have loved building that market over in the UK and have the perfect star for it 😂 this stipe shit makes no sense at all

it's not about the money and PPVs that jon could generate (which is average for his name) but it's about the UFC always having in their history that jordan type of legend..(in the long run names like these can bring many fans even years after the retirement)and you can already see Dana's vision when he talks about jon he was saying he's the greatest athlete of all time lol..they're pretty much creating a legend.

I know, right? Even when we take out the things Dana doesn't care about, like fairness, and only think about the things he *does* care about, which is money, Aspinal is so ready and able to be his new cash cow, as you said. Aspinal is the real deal. Fans will love him, just like they love Poatan. Tom and Alex are similar, in that they are both very grounded and humble, but outstanding in the cage. Give Tom a chance to prove himself, Dana!

@@GTari-ob6bj What they’re doing now is damaging Jon’s legacy and turning the fans against him. He’s already the most tainted person in the sport between the cheating and the arrests. If they want a Jordan they’ve picked the wrong guy and now they’re ruining his legacy. What will beating Stipe really do for him other than add a number to his record? Whereas feed Jon to Aspinall and you can create the next biggest star. In the absence of Jon, Francis and Stipe the heavyweight division will be devoid of star power and they’re much better off getting ahead now

The fans are going to get so loud and so angry that it's unlikely that the Jon vs. Stipe fight happens by November 2024. By the time they are supposed to fight, the fans are going to demand that Jon fight Aspinall.

​@@starseeddeluxenah it's probably signed, the best thing we can hope for is the ppv flopping

It actually is awesome that the MMA community has been so vocal about all this crap. It's refreshing

Lol yeah right. Jones is only getting hate bcus he’s doing what HE wants to do. Both of these guys have averaged a similar amount of fighter per year since they started in the UFC and that’s with Jon’s “weight increase”. So why wouldn’t he be PFP? He’s been beating top talent for a lot longer. Compare the last couple of #1 PFP fighters and you’ll see Islam’s resume is the weakest. Volk, Usman, Izzy, Jon. Islam has 1 defense against an actual LW (Dustin) and his activity since 2021 is due to him gunning for the title. Both of these guys are victims and benefactors of their divisions. Who are the Dustin, Justin, Conor, Charles of LHW or HW? At what point has LW not been cursed and allowed the current champion to fight who they need to?

A lot of his takes are tbh, after all hes a cocaine and gambling addict who likes slapping his wife up so why are we surprised that he loves Jones?

Cocaine is a hellava drug. Its not cheap

The best part about all of this... Despite my extreme anger at the way that Tom Aspinall is being treated... I really think Jon Jones will probably never win another fight in the UFC. Not even against Stipe. Stipe hasn't been partying. Stipe will be 43, but Jones hasn't been in his prime for at least 6 years.

@@starseeddeluxe Bro honestly forget stipe man. Let the man rest in peace, he has had a really good run but now he is too old to fight specially someone who takes roids and uses eyepokes. But if we were trying to go low; I'd say a LW charles olivera finishes the guy lol probably by rear naked choke. Delusional Jones fans don't understand the skill gap between LW and LHWs when Jones or most of his career was fighting natural middleweights (back in the old ufc days). His fight against a fatty old short DC ended up in a no contest because of Jon, that is how desperate the guy is.

I think he knows that what he says is wrong But he wants to protect Jones as good as he can because it's Jones and he brings cash

He got on his knees for him

He’s got the most active title defences. He’s never lost a fight. He’s still an active fighter, therefore he’s p4p. You don’t beat the champ by running away the last 3 rounds lmao you guys are so silly Just look at the takedowns lmao you guys don’t know how to score.

@@DecodingWithJordanTapology has a far more accurate depiction of the current P4P standings. Jon got his ass beat by Reyes, which didn't age very well. Also, it's a damage based scoring system. Takedowns and control time don't mean anything if you don't utilise them. Are you new here?

@@DecodingWithJordandana, is that you

Exactly. I am furious right now with Dana White and the UFC. Dana should step down as matchmaker, and focus on running the business, and doing the press conferences. The way he has ignored Tom Aspinall, and blocked him from facing Jon Jones, is completely unacceptable.

@@starseeddeluxe Interim champ gonna be defending the title, what a joke, they should strip Jones and move Aspinall Blaydes as a title unification bout as the main event of 303 since McNuggets tapped out of the event.

If Jon is #1 p4p then beating Aspinall shouldn’t be a problem, right?

@@snake0911Exactly which is why he’s not even close to #1 pound for pound. Imo Aspinall absolutely bulldozes him rn

Dana white is just jealous with khabib team and nothing or he is just delusional Jon jones is p4p 1 fighter oh common it’s doesn’t makes any sense he never fought after cyril gane

It's been lost

It's been lost time and time again.

He lost his dignity when he smacked his wife

​@@daking8378we will collectively help him remember that

Problem is no1 shows up to his fights

Mmaguru was on to something

Right, and now Tom, even more obviously.

Cuz he had a shitty run outside the cage, he ain't getting any marketing offers when it's all done, so the only thing he's attached to is the "goat status" and he won't put it in risk losing in the very end of his career, but the fans aren't stupid, we clearly see Jones ducking Aspinall, and in case they've fought and Jones had lose he would still be considered the goat by the majority, that's what he don't gets, instead of showing some warrior stuff fighting the real deal he prefers to stain his legacy doing all of this BS. It is what it is...

It's sad, is what it is.

Jon joned wins by stipe suffering from cardiac arrest

That would excite Jon more than hurt him

​@@mbekhan4667like the blob gaziev did?

Seriously tho I think Stipe could win by knockout. Stipe may just chad his way through Jones.. I'm sure Jones would love that.

Let's just call it what it is tho.... Most of Jones' wins are just padded low risk legacy fights. Who has he fought with insane knockout power? He didn't fight Rumble, he didn't fight francis, he didn't fight Jan, and he now refuses to fight Tommy. I just don't get it. This whole "jones is just the goat there's no debate" is ridiculous. There's always a debate. Look at who he fought early in his championship reign... Be honest with yourself.

@@honorylealtad5596 there’s no more important rounds in a fight every round counts the same. And no round 4 was closer than round 3 which was clearly a Reyes round. If you disagree give an argument otherwise

@shaneg4388 I dont care if they officially count the same. When official score is a draw ( first 2 rounds for reyes and last 2 rounds for jones, and round 3 was close), you have to decide a winner, so you consider the "invisible rules" (last rounds are more important for ex) I know you can lil bro, it is not that hard to understand

@@honorylealtad5596 official score is not a draw tho what are you talking about. There are no 10-8 or 10-10 rounds here, there is a winner.

Beating Oliveira, Volk and Dustin doesn't put at the top of any list.

@@Dru2037 Volk is literally a better win than any Jones has ever had. Only DC is close. Olivera and Poirier are better than every single Jon win apart from DC. When will people realise LHW and HW are bad divisions with not much talent. Bantamweight to welterweight all have 70-90 guys in each division LHW and HW only have 30-40. They’re shallow bad divisions. By definition of pound for pound the champs of those divisions should be higher on any pfp list, they’ve faced more diverse and skilled competition on average.

Coulda shoulda woulda. Truth is, Stipe is never going to win.

Yes it will still be a dumb matchup, it would just make Jon look worse than he already does..

Yes, because the returning linear champion should fight the interim champion. Even if Aspinall loses to Blaydes, it’s irrelevant. The interim could be being help by Strawberry Shortcake or by Superman, if there is an active interim champion who is willing and able to compete upon the return of the linear champion, they should always fight

even if he wins, who cares?
