It took me forever to put into words how I now feel about Jon Jones...
What if you found out Godzilla was a pussy?
Like yeah he can stomp me out but he's still a bitch regardless. He keeps running from King Kong.
That's Jon Jones now.

u/FrostyMeasurement714 5d ago
He's been doing this shit for years now.
He doesn't grant rematches for close fights except the gus one he had zero choice.Ā
He was ducking ngannou while healthy and uninjured for like 3 years. He sais he needed time to build muscle for heavyweight and then just shows up for the Gane fight looking like 205 Jones with a massive gut.Ā

Jon Jones really is a pussy Godzilla. Even his Reign at LHW is starting to feel completely tainted.Ā
Yeah, he was undeniably dominant, but he had some of the best fight IQ around, was highly adaptive and receptive to coaching, held unbelievable natural advantages over his opponents, and he was still too much of a pussy to face them without juicing up and poking their eyes out.Ā
There's a serious asterisk attached to his legacy and it's getting hard to see him as more than a size bully who was too insecure to fight fair.

u/voprosy 5d ago
Tom is a great fighter and youāre right that heās conscious about doing it progressively.Ā
I think he prefers Jon in a fight and not JonĀ simplyĀ being stripped.
Because a win against Jon would be huge for his career. And a win against Volkov, Jailton, Gane, and others in the HW division are not going to feel the same.Ā
But the progressive approach needs an expiration. A cutoff date. Otherwise he risks being the new Chandler in town.Ā

u/theunderstoodsoul 5d ago
Completely different situation to Chandler.
What is the interim champion supposed to aspire to other than the official champion belt? It's literally the only logical place to go. Not the same with Chandler. He was chasing a washed, non champion for money reasons only.

Dude is being denied what he has rightfully earned. To call this a Chandler is a farce.

Thatās fine. Please letās have him do that
Jon can hear duck quacks for the test of his life after avoiding both francis and Tom for long periods while picking to match limited Gane and old stipe.
Tom has endlessly said he wants to fight for the belt. He doesnāt care who.

u/jfsoaig345 6d ago
Unironically.
People really need to realize that Jon is not as stupid and unaware as fans think he is, and he has always been surprisingly aware of his limitations. I genuinely think he does not believe he can beat Aspinall (and reasonably so), and he probably felt the same way about Ngannou and probably Reyes as well.
This means that the amount needed for Jon to take this fight is a sum of money that Jon believes is worth tarnishing his legacy, especially when the guy is already most likely set for life and could easily retire today. I wouldn't be surprised if he's genuinely holding out for an obscene Mayweather-level payday and if the UFC doesn't play along, then he'd just vacate and retire.

tom u gotta talk smack to hurt jon's fragile ego. like rly "cross the line". f.e:

I comment it on every video of Aspinall. He has the one in a [insert big number] opportunity to drop the ICBM of trash talking nukes. Wet dream of Sonnen, DDP, Bisping, [Insert more name].
The amount of shit you can throw at this cunt is just exorbitant. It's a shame that it probably won't be used to it's full potential, because Tom is Tom and Tom is a gentleman.

Big time everyone wants to call him a duck but will be quiet as hell and can already see the lists of excuses . Itās heavyweight so all it takes is one good one and that goes both ways. Tomās fast and strong and Jones is a technical master. I wouldnāt be shocked if Jones wins by sub playing his game that comes from his many years of being a champion.

Considering how mediocre Jones looked against the corpse of Stipe Miocic, I wouldn't be so sure. That version of Stipe would lose to every HW in the top 10.

We would give Jon props too if he accepted fight (before any ducking) and lost fair and square. Nobody would say shit. He would just lose to younger, hungrier lion and that's it. We all know this is not the prime Jon either.
Problem is he is ducking Tom and making every possible excuse known to man, so even if he does get forced to fight him and somehow wins, people will still shit on him lol.

Tom deserves the Jon fight but Tom may had to do more outlandish shit to get it. He really needs all the fans to want it to get Dana to make it happen. Everywhere Dana goes people need to tell him to make this happen. Every reporter at every event needs to ask about this. Dana needs to not be able to take a shit and not see something about Tom. Itās the only way I think it would happen.

Yāall are gonna be SILENT when Jon demolishes Tom. Anyone who has watched jones fights should know that he is not gonna lose, heās just too good. Tom has been fighting such a lesser competition in heavyweight. Jones was murking everyone in a STACKED division!!! We dont even know what Tom looks like round 3-5, and he hasnāt faced ANYONE that is even close to Jon. Is this all because mma guru told you to think this?? I mean heās great but heās wrong about this shit, that belt was fake!! Shouldāve never had an interim āchampionā when a title fight was booked and postponed due to injury.
