YES ! Someone clip Adam saying Jones doesn't think he can beat Tom. I completely agree, Nobody wants to fight Tom. Aspinall best heavyweight on the planet !
Look Jon is ducking, chickening out, clearly cowering in fear of losing to Aspinall and is roided and busted with PED's. But that's just wrong. Jones went through and defeated 3 generations of LHW murderers row all at their prime and won and almost finished them all.
By holding on to the belt for this long its actually hindering toms record, as tom could of had title defences to his name in this time but instead he has to wait to get the belt to defend it
Ufc will have fully lost all credibility as the best fight the best soon as jones and stipe step in that cage...and if he's allowed to side step tom to fight Alex its a disgrace
Its simple jones doesnt want to fight him as he knows its not just a risk he might lose its more than likely he loses, and he just doesn't want to risk that, pure and simple
@cjmallett1 like they said I don't think he would risk it for money, he seems to care more about how his record looks, I hope I'm wrong as it's a fight that needs to happen
Tom needs to be terrorising john this week in interviews etc and on the night get in the cage no matter what that has to be his main objective on sat then he needs to juat put it on john maybe give him a push more than likey it will kick off if possibly have to have a roll about but then without a doubt john will wont to fight tom boom fight sold super fight at that but lets have it right more than likely john wont be on social media this week and will b tryijg silence the hate out and without a doubt ontop of all that john will be telling ufc not to let him in the cage post fight this isnt in toms character like but he has to put it on him this week to get a fight with john
And if Alex beats him Alex takes his whole career and pisses all over it because Alex is a light heavyweight he can’t ever call himself the goat Alex takes that title
Like I say in other post with Mr. Aspinall He is the next Big deal let the man fight. We all wanna see him fight. What are they waiting for why they holding this man back???????He's in his prime. He's hungry, let the man battle!!!!!
Toms first round finishes are the reason jones won’t fight him. Not because he’s “scared” he just doesn’t have the tape to see the things Tom can do on the ground, what his late striking looks like etc. there no point to jones taking the fight because jones is a 🐈
At 20:00. Contradictory ideas. He either truly cares about his legacy OR he just wants to make money and doesn't care that everyone will see him as a duck. They can't both be true.
Only one person to blame and that's Dana White.. he has completely taken the Pi$$ out of every heavyweight... Just to keep his bf, Jones happy. And unfortunately they (fighters)have taken it as there is no other MMA company that can compete. White and Jones are a joke re heavyweight division.
Whos john calling out after the alex fight, roysenstruyck? If he cares about legacy he would defend the belt, not fight the former middleweight champion and leave his legacy as the guy who ran from fights he wasn't the favourite for.
The precedent has already been set by Bisping, who I guess you backed as English MMA fans seem to do, when had a disgraceful title run that greatly devalued the MW belt, first "defending" against a #13-ranked 46-yo Hendo, then ducking Yoel Romero, to whom Dana had publicly promised the title shot after a crazy 8-fight winning streak. Instead, Yoel and Whittaker had to fight it out for an interim belt while Bisping sat out for a year and got elective knee surgery while he campaigned to get the GSP fight made, even having Georges on his podcast. GSP had been retired for 4 years and had never fought at MW, and it was later revealed he suffered from ulcerative colitis to put on the weight. So, that was so much worse, and again, a precedent has been set, so you Brits, and especially Aspinall who's close with Bisping, can't cry about it now.
@@jordirosa1to5 Bisping is not in the same stratosphere as Jones, a gatekeeper who lucked into a belt because Rockhold took him lightly after he had choked him out with one hand (lmao) in their previous fight. Jones' only real competition for GOAT right now is GSP, but for me he's been more impressive in who he's beaten and how he's done it
@@alexab543 i never said they are in the same 'stratosphere'. but jones peds positive several times, eyepokes, not so decisive wins against people like smith or reyes (reyes won the fight btw) and now all this ducking... that's why i said jon jones is no goat. this is all a farce-marketing strategy from dana and the ufc for making you buy ppvs and tshirts and stuff. jones was great 10 years ago, but this is nonsense. he shouldn't be holding the belt or should fight tom asap.
This is my thing. People are sh1tg on Jon Jones but he isn’t the blame here. The responsibility clearly is on the UFC. The UFC shouldn’t have made an interim title when Jones got hurt, when they knew that Jones and Stipe fight was Ironclad. 2. Why would they have Pavlovich as a backup fighter when they didn’t allow him to fight Stipe. If stipe would have won, I 100% guarantee that MMA fans would have no problem with him earning a title shot. But he is backing in another title fight with a loss. So what are they going to do if one of them gets hurt, will they just ice Aspinall? 3. Who cares what Jones says. The UFC ultimately makes the decision on who the champ fights. If Jones don’t want to fight Aspinall, strip him.
100%. I have an extremely low opinion of Jones but it is the UFC who should be getting all the hate here. They should have banned Jones several times over many years ago. Failing that, they shouldn’t have let him walk into a vacant HW title fight after ducking Francis for years. Failing that, they shouldn’t have booked him vs Stipe because Stipe is entirely undeserving now, all due respect. Failing that, they should have stripped Jones when he sustained a significant injury (they could have let him pretend to vacate honourably like Jiri and Hill did recently, AND promised to give him the choice between title shot or Stipe exhibition match when he returned).
@@DanAddisonyep the UFC gave Jones an easy path to the title because they were desperate for a star at the time. You have to remember at that time they’d just loss Francis, Conor was in limbo (still is), Poatan wasn’t yet the big star he now is, O’Malley and Ilia were still contenders, pretty much Izzy was the only big headline star they had so the chance to parachute Jon Jones back into the spotlight was just too good to turn down. I think they were so hurt about losing Francis they just bent over backward way too much for Jon who let’s face it has been a pain in the ass for them for much of his career
@@joshf-w9602 agree with that assessment. They’ve been so short sighted though. Why throw everything into inflating Jones, a guy who has always brought the sport into disrepute and is at the end of his career, at the detriment of the new generation? They should have been trying to get him in the octagon with Aspinall to transfer any star power and prestige Jones has over to the future. Aspinall looks like he should be able to outdo Francis and Stipe’s HW records with ease, and would KO Jones first round, taking the sport forward as the figurehead baddest man on the planet.
Every new fighter who pops up on the radar, people be like, (he is the one to beat John Jones) and ithey all failed. Tom barley has about 12 fights in his entire career, with one L. There's many more challenges for him to take on before reaching the King aka, the G.O.A.T! People need to stop acting like if John didn't face everyone that the UFC thrown at him. What's up with the short memories?! John Title defenses is way more than Tom's fights put together including his L🤔
He beat a bunch of fighters who gave him an opportunity against their legacies, a fair few who were maybe past their primes who didn't need to risk it on him. He then gets done not once, but three times for PEDs, funnily enough after this once USADA had finally got on top of him, he looked a shadow of his former self, including close fights to Gustafson, Silva, and lost to Reyes who then went on to lose to whoever. Granted he had a fair few good victories in his reign, but a fair few were of an age advantage or were middleweights fighting at LHW. He looked entirely unconvincing against Lionheart in what was meant to be his prime for Christ sake, and ducked a short notice Chael Sonnen fight to save a card, again another middleweight, not in my opinion the actions of a true GOAT. The guy was a great fighter and I'll admit, helped revolutionise how rounded a true MMA athlete should be, but the praise he gets is so overblown. Would love to see what he looks like against someone truly his size, that's a well rounded MMA athlete, in their prime...I wonder who that could be?
@@Thunderfist_McBeefcake okay lets go that route, Jon Jones has 4 failed PED tests, he currently has 2 finishes in his last 10 fights (many close decisions to fighters who are not near Tom's level), Tom currently holds the fastest average fight time ever vs the top 15, Stipe is coming off a KO loss 3 years ago and hasn't won in 4, so tell me, how on earth does he deserve the title fight over the interim champion?
@@StoatLoxley a profitable baptism, personally I'm not a fan of going to a new division straight to a title fight no matter who you are , I just think it's crap for the rest of the division but at the end of the day it's about revenue
Think Brendan’s had too many punches to the head it’s more of a risk fighting pereira because if he loses he can’t ever call himself the goat because a guy at his own weight has beat his ass we’re if Tom beats him then it’s at heavyweight he can still say he’s the goat cause no one beat him at light heavyweight
Adam Catteral is a Aspinall fan boy. Claims to be a MMA analyst but the disrespect to Jones is next level. If Tom wasn’t British the conversation would be very different.
@@ryanchristopher4138 he’s shouting don’t tell me this and don’t tell me that like Jones will ever care about the likes of his opinion. If he was in NY no doubt he would be interviewing Jones for TNT. Would he really say all of this to his face or is it just to keep Aspinal sweet I wonder.
If Tom wasn’t an unassuming British chap he’d be celebrated as the baddest man to have ever lived, the way he has finished everyone in his path in record time, more emphatically than anyone ever has including Ngannou.
Adam, there is no real reason for Bo to take craig down. If folks have not learned from the likes of hill and ankalaev yet, they need help. I'm sorry to say it, but this is an IQ test for nickal. He may well knock criag out or repeatedly knock him down on the feet
YES ! Someone clip Adam saying Jones doesn't think he can beat Tom. I completely agree, Nobody wants to fight Tom. Aspinall best heavyweight on the planet !
No one is calling Tom out unless it's a whisper
Tom is a billion times better than jones
Adam won't say it to Dana though when he interviews him.
Jones is not 40. He just turned 37 a couple of weeks ago.
When Jones fought DC the second time Jones was 30 and DC was 38.
The fact that hes the interim champ and has a 100% finish rate makes him not a random
Tom Aspinall will hold the belt
And Jones will be far far away either retired or just no longer relevant
Adam Catterall uncensored. Saying the things about the main event hes no allowed say working for TNT
Toms whole 7 mins of fight time in the octagon is more exciting then all of Jon's fights
💯
Don't be daft
Jon had some great fights at light heavyweight.
Look Jon is ducking, chickening out, clearly cowering in fear of losing to Aspinall and is roided and busted with PED's.
But that's just wrong.
Jones went through and defeated 3 generations of LHW murderers row all at their prime and won and almost finished them all.

UFC loses credibility every few months. It will survive lol
UFC will do what ever makes the cash…….but Dana listens to public opinion also.
EVERYONE wants Jones to fight Aspinall.
Jones cacking himself
Tom likes short notice, Alex likes short notice, have them fight at the end of the year so Jon can't fight Alex if Tom statches him first.
John can fight who he wants. Just not with the belt.
I hope Stipe wins for all this disrespect. People forget he beat Francis ha
He beat Francis almost 7 years ago
@joescott5322 I get it ha. All three of those fighters are old school. It's why trying to do predictions is so hard ha
i think the Aspinal fight has become something the fans "we" do want. I'm not sure if the majority want the Perera match up
This is down to Dana he should be deciding fights. If the heavyweight champion won’t fight interim should be stripped of the belt .

Whys breandan keep on about the if the risk for john to fight tom is worth it...TOM IS THE INTERIM TITLE HOLDER WHOS EVEN DEFENDED IT FFS
The confidence he had to say that Tom would get fucked over, coming from someone of his experience is worrying
Calm down mate
Everyone has an opinion
Brendons view is his own
@StoatLoxley probably jealous of Tom's career already compared to his 😂

Sure am not the only one who hopes Stipe startches Jones,that being said sure daddy Dana would find someway of giving him a rematch.
If stipe knocks John out Dana will still find a way to make him win 😂
But if he ducks aspinall, it will hurt his legacy.
Its simple jones doesnt want to fight him as he knows its not just a risk he might lose its more than likely he loses, and he just doesn't want to risk that, pure and simple
Do you think he'd risk it for enough money? I'm sure he can be persuaded 😂
