Pretty childish calling out Luke for not having a legacy. Luke your legacy is being a good husband and father and trying to tell the truth in a game full of charlatans. Thats something Jon will mever understand. Jon thinks he will be remembered like Achilles or something for generations. His ego is laughably out of control.
This, a 1000 times. And Luke knows. That he calls out non fight related issues like US foreign policy fuckeries as an ex-Marine is just the cherry on top. I'd buy this man a beer if I ever met him.
Jon seems to forget that his legacy is already tarnished by cheating, wife abuse, drug abuse, hit and runs, and just being a two faced person. He was a great fighter, but I also think he was overated as he mostly fought people 10 years older than him while he had a size and potentially steroid advantage as well.
Man you cant hold the drug abuse against his legacy everything else is totally fine. The drugs actually make it a little more impressive. The rest of the stuff not so much Jones is a POS.
@@heme2878hate to break it to ya boss but Jones weighed in at 248 vs Gane. Aspinal weighed in at 251 vs Blaydes. Take your 30 lb weight advantage and divide it by 10….
Living to build a "Legacy" is ridiculous. Very few people are ever remembered. Once all the millennials die nobody will remember Gretzky. Once Gen Z die Taylor Swift will all but forgotten. Live your best life for yourself because no one will remember you.
Well said. Jon's fixation on legacy is purely to feed his own ego. He wants everyone talking about him because it makes him feel significant. Internet psychologist her. Got my degree from RUclips.
It's interesting to me because I feel legacy is mostly built on the back of other people's opinions. I do well in sport, other people think I did well, my legacy is I'm the goat. But ultimately, it still boils down to just other people's opinions, and I think most people would agree that living for the opinions of other people is pathetic.
Might be the dumbest thing I've read all week 😂😂😂😂 I guess no one remembers any person who has lived 100 years ago? Did you honestly just say that?? 😂😂😂
Former Marine, father, family man, turned very insightful MMA journalist offers real world opinion on the legacy of a drug addicted, criminal cheat, with an emotional insecurity complex. Emotionally insecure goof then does more of the same on Twitter. Nice.
Yeah Jones is so immature for a guy close to my age late thirties. I mean Luke is right I don't want a damn thing he has except for some of that bank account. What a garbage human being
Luke needs to learn that he has to call the shots! It sounds like his daughter runs the show! As a parent, one needs to keep their children healthy, safe, and educated…..and you can’t do that by being their friend.
With ducking Aspinall Jones is starting to reach similar level of irrelevancy to Conor. Both have big names so whatever they say in an interview or tweet is gonna come on people's radar but in both cases I just really don't wanna hear. It feels like repetitive bs. Do other people feel this way as well?
From the press conference - I truly think Jones is leaning into the Bad Guy role TOO much for this to not be some kind of marketing drive for when they do make Aspinall vs Jones. Of course, it's Jones - he might just fuck off and not fight him. But if they make Aspinall vs Jones with Jones as the Big Bad Final Boss Champion no one likes - it makes Tom look like the bigger "babyface" / good guy in the whole build up.
I think the reason Jones is so dead set on fighting Stipe instead of Tom is because he can't stand that Cormier won two belts in two different weight classes and he wants to prove he can do that undefeated. So, there's no way he was going to take the risk to not out do Cormier
I’m gonna be honest, and I know that I am gonna catch a lot of heat for this but idc it’s how I feel. Jon has no obligation to fight Tom Aspinall. Jon has beat 10+ Tom Aspinall’s throughout the decade long career he’s had. every other year, there is a new Tom Aspinall who is going to beat Jon Jones. before Tom Aspinall it was Thiago Santos, before Santos it was Reyes. there were many men who were believed to beat Jon Jones who never even got to the finish line: Pavlovich, Jonny Walker, etc. If Jon Jones were to fight Tom Aspinall after Stipe, by the time Jon beats Tom Aspinall there will be a new rising contender who fight fans will believe has the answers to beat Jon Jones. if he continues fighting every man who fans think is the answer, eventually he is going to be old enough to actually lose. he is the greatest fighter we’ve ever seen, I’m okay with giving him some grace as he fades into retirement. I’m aware of the “okay Dana” replies I’m about to get and that’s okay, this is simply my opinion
Disagree with Luke. If Jones retires after Stipe, thus shafting Aspinal, the public will NOT forget. Wow, Luke is way off on this. Of course it would be worse if Jon continued to fight other people. But no matter what him retiring without facing Aspinal will make him hated forever. 28:23
Luke if by chance you read this, your take on legacy and not wanting what Jon has was really one of the best things I’ve seen in a long time. Well played, and keep up the good work
Sorry about your uncle Luke. Wishing the best for your family. Thanks for doing these live chats through all the turbulence. Personally it helps me a lot with my days. Much love mate.
It's like when your buddy quits his job... everybody is going to lunch with him... some folks are sad... but on the day he leaves there will be a party and hugs at all the cubicles, saying gioodbye and let's get together soon. (never happens) then the door closes and the office goes quiet.... with in five minutes someone comes in the room and asks for those TPS reports and then the job moves forward and the day moves on.
10 years ago I was a massive fan of Jon…. Jon’s legacy is destroying his reputation over the last 10 years failed drug tests, hit and runs, beating his wife and now ducking!
Jon's not just ducking Tom, he ducked Francis then the second Francis left the organization started publicly calling Francis a pussy. Also stated publicly he wouldn't fight DC at heavyweight because he didn't want to give DC the advantage.
The reason Jon needs to fight Tom is not even because of the belt. The real reason he needs to fight Tom is because the division is trash 🗑 Even at 42 years old, Stipe is better than almost everyone that Tom has ever beaten and could beat all of them except for probably Blades. I'm not saying Tom isn't good. He has had lightning fast wins in all of his matches. What I am saying is that his only notable win is Blades, and the division needs more talent.
The fact luke didn't laugh at the question referring to the current Republican party as "diet nazis" is shocking and so revealing...luke took that reference seriously...insane.
Luke breaking out the "NEW Black Tee" for the occasion! Don't know if I've EVER seen Luke without a single beard, head, and/OR dog hair on his T-shirt!
I believe this all started way back probably 2016-17 Luke was critiquing Jones deadlifts and bench press and he wasn't a fan of Jones form and Luke's opinion was power lifting wasn't a smart way to train for MMA. I remember Luke saying all this in a video and then about 2 weeks later was the press conference where Jon refused to answer Lukes question
ironic part is if someone beats Jones record his legacy will be forgotten but luke legacy will be cemented he is one of the original pioneers or mma media or reporter
Very few fighters enter the UFC with less than 5 to 10 professional fights under their belt. That alone should be enough time to know not to poke someone let alone when you’ve had a 20 year career in the UFC. So being in the UFC should be enough experience to know you shouldn’t poke. So I agree with the pre-fight warning for fighters who have committed such fouls in previous fights, especially recent ones.
To the guy who is worried about "diet nazis" I have some advice. Get off your phone and live in the real world. Also, study 20th C history :) I promise you everything will be fine.
16:14 strong agree, he's being honest, i don't think it's negotiating tactic 17:33 🎯 not only does it feel like interest in Jon v Tom has spiked, but at points I felt like Tom was overshadowing both competitors really.
I think anyone saying that Jones would want the gloves changed to facilitate eye pokes is misguided. But he clearly favours extending his fingers, possibly both for distance management & to dissuade opponents from coming at him directly. Makes sense that he would want the old gloves when the new ones would make his favoured style more difficult.
Even though there is a risk involved, Aspinall should have been piling up title defenses. If he had like 4 title defenses, he would be a more legitimate new lineal champion than Jones. Aspinall could've converted his interin title into a regular one in the eyes of the fans.
A 58 year old Tyson scares me far more than a half talented youtube boxer any day of the week. I agree combat sports are a young man's game, but Tyson is a rare specimen.
Jones is trolling everyone. He already knows he's going to retire in the ring, and he'll sit on the sidelines for a while and see if there's an opportunity to slide back in for a couple more super fights down the road. He's got Aspinall, Pereira, or even Ngannou if they can make a deal with Saudi money involved.
As someone who has (ALSO) been watching fight sports for my entire life (25+ years) there is NOTHING more irritating than hearing people talk about "people knowing nothing about fight sports"
100% agree with your take on legacy. I think maybe since he's been a top athlete in MMA for so long he maybe thinks differently to an extent when it comes to what matters in MMA. I think for the majority of us fight fans though I believe he isn't doing himself any good saying what he's saying at this point. He may have 0 fans especially after this which he will have no legacy after this lol.
Beating up retired old man Stipe Miocic is not good for legacy. But fighting Tom Aspinall who's currently the best heavyweight in the world is great for legacy. 🤔🤔
I think people are overlooking how favourable a match up Aspinall is for Jon. Aspinall is awesome, but his #1 skill is blitzing people. That's EXACTLY what Jon needs to get an easy takedown. It's really hard to take guys down in modern MMA, but if Tom is going to storm forward with punches like he always does, that's PERFECT for Jon. So honestly, I think this is all a troll by Jon. I think he's pushing up the price for the fight because he knows he would be quite easy to take down and finish Aspinall on the ground.
@@lasky8978 We've not seen Tom on the ground with anybody good, so who knows how good his ground game is. He might be, but we know FOR SURE Jon is a savage on the ground. We don't have to guess, Tom does not want to go to the ground with Jon. I think his walk forward blitz style may actually be the reason Aspinall loses to Jones in the end. Works on bums like Pavolvich, but not on a guy who has that level of well rounded game.
@VolatilityTradingStrategies Jones is definitely well rounded but Aspinall is too, and he's younger, bigger, faster and stronger. We've only seen like a minute of bones in this division, against a dude with zero ground game. We may get a better picture of things after this upcoming fight 🤷♂️
@@itsFFH Agreed, it's not Aspinall's fault that the heavyweight division is not only the worst division the sport, but it's also the worst batch of heavyweights in the divisions history. He's clowning on these bums, and that's not his fault. But it does mean that we have no idea what Aspinall's ground game is really like. It could be terrible, it could be good. All we know is, Jon's IS world class.
I really like the way Luke talks about legacy. As a fight fan it irritates me to listen to people talking about legacy so much. If anyone thinks that 20 year olds in the year 2040 will be talking about the Jon Jones standing choke on Machida, you are mistaken.
The Stipe fight was scheduled long before Tom even won his interim belt. It was postponed because of an injury. If he decided to fight Tom and not Stipe, would we all be saying he was ducking Stipe? Seems like Jon is in a no win situation. Mind you, this fight is only happening because Francis left and Stipe came out of the woodwork. Francis and Stipe cloud the water at HW and its still Jons fault....
Legacy? When I think of Jon Jones, the first thing that comes to mind is steroids, eye pokes and oblique kicks, followed by dodging HW. People forget that while still at LHW, he once said it would be "heroic" of him to fight Stipe. Heroic! Smh
Ppl aren’t bothering Stipe about Tom not because Stipe handled it better than Jon… NOBODY gives Stipe a chance is why and it’s a foregone conclusion Jon wins.
Luke, you're basically saying that Jon should just follow the path of all aging fighters who eventually get beat by younger bigger fighters ? Jon is saying he knows by experience not to fall in that trap. That's intelligent, not ducking . Ducking would be Jon continues to defend the heavyweight title after Stipe but not give Tom a title shot.

Has Dana been asked about the glove switch???
Yea I think he said they're not using those new ones any more. A guy asked at the presser

It's really hard to take guys down in modern MMA, but if Tom is going to storm forward with punches like he always does, that's PERFECT for Jon. So honestly, I think this is all a troll by Jon. I think he's pushing up the price for the fight because he knows he would be quite easy to take down and finish Aspinall on the ground.
Tom is huge and brilliant on the ground...
@@lasky8978 We've not seen Tom on the ground with anybody good, so who knows how good his ground game is. He might be, but we know FOR SURE Jon is a savage on the ground. We don't have to guess, Tom does not want to go to the ground with Jon. I think his walk forward blitz style may actually be the reason Aspinall loses to Jones in the end. Works on bums like Pavolvich, but not on a guy who has that level of well rounded game.
@VolatilityTradingStrategies Jones is definitely well rounded but Aspinall is too, and he's younger, bigger, faster and stronger. We've only seen like a minute of bones in this division, against a dude with zero ground game. We may get a better picture of things after this upcoming fight 🤷♂️
@@itsFFH Agreed, it's not Aspinall's fault that the heavyweight division is not only the worst division the sport, but it's also the worst batch of heavyweights in the divisions history. He's clowning on these bums, and that's not his fault. But it does mean that we have no idea what Aspinall's ground game is really like. It could be terrible, it could be good. All we know is, Jon's IS world class.
Very true!! 🙌
I really like the way Luke talks about legacy.
As a fight fan it irritates me to listen to people talking about legacy so much.
If anyone thinks that 20 year olds in the year 2040 will be talking about the Jon Jones standing choke on Machida, you are mistaken.
The Stipe fight was scheduled long before Tom even won his interim belt. It was postponed because of an injury. If he decided to fight Tom and not Stipe, would we all be saying he was ducking Stipe? Seems like Jon is in a no win situation. Mind you, this fight is only happening because Francis left and Stipe came out of the woodwork. Francis and Stipe cloud the water at HW and its still Jons fault....
Sorry to hear about your Uncle, Luke. You and your family seem to have been going through it lately. Hope things take a turn for the better.
So is there not one good thing from the republican side? You're acting like they're out to harm you bro. It's going to be ok u promise.
He was wanting to transition on taxpayers dime. Have a heart.
Maybe he cares about people that aren't himself. Not everyone is a self centered twat.
@@tacticalwookiee7476 lmao no one is more self centered than libs. Everything is about them and their mental issues. Nutjobs
Legacy? When I think of Jon Jones, the first thing that comes to mind is steroids, eye pokes and oblique kicks, followed by dodging HW. People forget that while still at LHW, he once said it would be "heroic" of him to fight Stipe. Heroic! Smh
I hope luke has seen the video of jones ducking interviews due to tom aspinal
It’s GUARANTEED JJ pokes him in the eye. 100%
The Legacy convo reminds me of Marcus Aurelius. He says the same thing about legacy.
Ppl aren’t bothering Stipe about Tom not because Stipe handled it better than Jon… NOBODY gives Stipe a chance is why and it’s a foregone conclusion Jon wins.
Luke, you're basically saying that Jon should just follow the path of all aging fighters who eventually get beat by younger bigger fighters ? Jon is saying he knows by experience not to fall in that trap. That's intelligent, not ducking . Ducking would be Jon continues to defend the heavyweight title after Stipe but not give Tom a title shot.
