Actually according to the rules, as soon as the champion is active again the interim champion is to be stripped of their belt. It’s nothing more than a placeholder. DJ and bisping have both went over this in detail, you should check it out.

@mars9075 What drugs are you on? The only reason why Pereira could become champion so quickly was because of his history with Izzy that made possible the matchup, and do you actually think that Tom could've been in Stipe's position? Stipe is a legend that was basically retired, he was a champion and considered the best heavyweight ever because he was at the end of his career, Aspinall just started his UFC run when Jon "retired", and he won 8 of his 9 UFC fight even avenging his only loss. What more could he have done? He completely cleared the division and has 7 more victories than Jon at heavyweight, 5 of which against guys in the top 10, and he finished almost all of them in the first round. To even remotely suggest that he doesn't deserve the title shot before anyone else (given that he's even the f*cking interim champion) is a brainrot statement. Please wake up and stop riding Jon's d*ck.
Jon Jones won the UFC undisputed heavy weight championship without fighting a champion and is avoiding to fight another heavy weight championship this champ champ stuff has to stop Dana
Bro wasn’t talking this way when he was the younger fighter ! He talked all the shit about all the older dudes and look back at all his fights before he ! Nobody else but he took 5 years off! No one dose that , you could argue every big name he fought was past there prime then! He is a hypocrite!
Jones doesn't need to convince anyone...his record speaks for itself atleast to the majority. Totally earned. Should now be trainer or mentor upcoming fighters/sprlortsmen if he see fit or move on to other realms.like commentry or consult.or promotions
Tom's annual 1-2 fights doesn't cut it. Alex won 4 championship fights in a harder division in under a year. That's why he's ranked above Tom to fight Jones

@somerandomperson7431 Dont be a goofball. You want the UFC to work the way you want it to. This isnt Boxing. They have always selected fights in this manner. They dont necessarily stick to who's next in line or ranking. They'll select a fight fans want to see before that. It never worked the way you Feel it should. You must be new to the UFC as well. But whatever makes you giggle, we can go with that.
😂😂😂 you guys really gotta learn how the UFC works you bozos and all these comments in all of RUclips really gotta understand how the UFC works it’s fucking funny as shit looking at all this dumb ass shit
You were scheduled to fight him. When you got hurt and he became interim champ, you were supposed to fight him when you were able to fight. That’s the rules. You and Dana broke the rules. Oh, and you’re a sociopath.
He was never scheduled to fight him what are you even talking about. He Tom was scheduled as replacement in case if stipe got hurt. Also Jon’s has very clearly said after he beat stipe , he might give the people what they want , alex Pereira vs Jones or aspinall vs jones, either ways stop capping. Also it is not his decision either. It’s Dana’s and the ufc decision.
@@PEPE_THEKINGnever scheduled but he’s the champ fighting someone who hasn’t won a fight in FIVE years instead of fighting the actual interim champion no one wanted to see stipe vs jones realistically let’s leave that imaginary bubble most the people in this whole comment section have 0 mma knowledge 😂😂😂
@ seems your spreading false information. It was never scheduled you said it was your exact words were that. Then your lying out your 🍑 makes it more hilarious tbh.
Sonnen made a very good point. What does the interim belt mean ? It only holds the place of the undisputed champion, once that said champion is in the ring, and the bell rings, the interim belt is stripped.
Yes, it's because in a normal scenario.The undisputed champion faces the interim champion, but here, we have a case where the champion is not willing to face the interim. Are you suggesting that we turn the UFC into boxing just for JbJ?
He the goat. No one can say anything that'll takeaway from his status. Facts don't care about your feelings. Only 1 guy beat more ufc champs and that's fedor
For everyone defending Jon Dana himself said interim belts are there to set up the challenge with the actual belt holder where even after a stripped belt the champs next fight should have to be the previous interim champion
This statement is true; an "interim champion" is only created when the reigning heavyweight champion is unable to fight for a significant period, so if the champion is actively fighting, there is no need for an interim title and therefore, no interim champion exists.
This is the most gifted mma fighter of all time. One of the greatest to ever lace em up. But he’s real hard to root for. All the things he’s been caught doing outside the cage. Obviously avoiding first Francis now Tom. He doesn’t want to stop fighting and I think he’s horrified of losing that perfect record he has. He knows he probably won’t make 205 lbs again do he won’t be fighting people smaller than him to many more times. Unless he can convince Alex to come up to HW. He’s not afraid of these guys at HW I think he’s afraid of losing that perfect record. He’ll probably open as a slight favourite against Tom but it be close. Most of this is a ploy to get big money to fight Tom imo.
It’s smart for Tom Aspinall to say “Jon Jones is ducking him” because Aspinall wants the pay day and wants the fight to happen to see if he can do what no man has and that is to defeat Jon Jones. Jon Jones on the other hand doesn’t need that fight and is only interested in the fight if the money is right.
I am not a John Jones fan but I will agree with John Jones on the Tom Aspinall fan allegations of saying that John is ducking him because he was never scheduled to ever fight Tom... I would love to see the both of them fight and I think Tom will beat him but I don’t think Tom will just smoke him straight out off the GetGo either
John Jones, we know what this is about. We know what they see in Aspinal and we know what they’re trying to do. They’ve been trying to do it for years.
I low key agree with Jon even more now. Tom wouldn't do anything for Jon's record. Stipe ran his division, and Jon ran his division. It makes more sense to me.... But, I do believe Tom should be the next fight for Jon. Or Jon should drop the belt and just do money fights while more wins or lose go on his record.

The choice is his and it’s simple, he’s gonna duck and vacate the belt like he said. Jon jones is a duck. 🦆
QUACK QUACK QUACK
If tom was good enough they wouldve fought a long time ago
@mars9075 A long time ago? Like when Jones wasn't fighting for 3 years? Or during his year out for an injury? Do you realize how absurd your claim is? Jon has fought once in 4 years, please stop spouting nonsense
@@lebannen6056 you sound so stupid. Jones doesnt have to be in heavyweight for tom to climb the rankings and be in stipe position. If tom was doing as good as jon when jon started in the ufc then tom would've been in cyril ganes position. Alex periera was able to be a champion with only 4 fights in the ufc. Tom couldnt do that?? Its a skill issue
@@lebannen6056 jon jones doesnt need to be in the HW for tom to climb up in rankings. If he was really good he wouldve been in stipe position before jon could move up to heavy weight. If he was as good as jon was when jon started the ufc then tom wouldve been in cyril ganes position and fought jon.
Alex periera became a champion with only 4 fights in the ufc. Tom couldnt do that?? Its a skill issue
@mars9075 What drugs are you on? The only reason why Pereira could become champion so quickly was because of his history with Izzy that made possible the matchup, and do you actually think that Tom could've been in Stipe's position? Stipe is a legend that was basically retired, he was a champion and considered the best heavyweight ever because he was at the end of his career, Aspinall just started his UFC run when Jon "retired", and he won 8 of his 9 UFC fight even avenging his only loss. What more could he have done? He completely cleared the division and has 7 more victories than Jon at heavyweight, 5 of which against guys in the top 10, and he finished almost all of them in the first round. To even remotely suggest that he doesn't deserve the title shot before anyone else (given that he's even the f*cking interim champion) is a brainrot statement. Please wake up and stop riding Jon's d*ck.
He is a UFC legend.
That sounds like the explanation of a businessman not the explanation of a fighter
Jon Jones won the UFC undisputed heavy weight championship without fighting a champion and is avoiding to fight another heavy weight championship this champ champ stuff has to stop Dana
Really then you don't nothing about UFC, what was his fight in his heavyweight dabute?
@@joccity4442vs Gane where he won by KO his only fight in the division except stipe so who actually doesn’t know anything about mma seems like you 😂😂
@somerandomperson7431 gane was at that time the champion
@joccity4442 no he wasn't. The title was vacant after Ngannou gave it up to fight in PFL
Plus Gane got outwrestled by Ngannou who got outwrestled by Stipe. That Gane win gets less impressive the more you look at it
Yeah you are never scheduled to fight the interim champ 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Bro wasn’t talking this way when he was the younger fighter ! He talked all the shit about all the older dudes and look back at all his fights before he ! Nobody else but he took 5 years off! No one dose that , you could argue every big name he fought was past there prime then! He is a hypocrite!
Jones doesn't need to convince anyone...his record speaks for itself atleast to the majority. Totally earned.
Should now be trainer or mentor upcoming fighters/sprlortsmen if he see fit or move on to other realms.like commentry or consult.or promotions
Since he is the interim that you are supposed to fight as the champion, yes you are indeed ducking 🦆
The once great lion is really starting to sound like a sheep. He isn't ducking, at this point he's just a sitting duck in HW
He walks everyone at HW. 😂😂😂
Jones rn beats everyone at HW if you put every hw in their prime. He beats Cain. He beats. Only guy who might have a chance is brock.
@@Garth-bd3putell me you don’t know what you’re talking about without saying you don’t know what you’re talking about 😂
Nah ..you also said that Izzy will be KOed by Alex before their second fight, i don’t know if I should believe you on that one now
Tom's annual 1-2 fights doesn't cut it. Alex won 4 championship fights in a harder division in under a year. That's why he's ranked above Tom to fight Jones
Doesnt matter at all, Tom is the interim so they have to fight or else ufc is not a real competition but only show
tom is the interim champ in jons weight class lmao
@@Dukeflyhawker alex is a former middleweight turn light heavyweight. It makes no sense to fight heavyweight jones. Easy fight for jones to be honest because izzy of all people out wrestled alex, imagine what jones will do to him. That fight is not interesting whatsoever.
@@olamidedavid5116 Jones is a LHW turned heavyweight. Makes no difference. He's done more than Tom
@@joenu7s interim is a fake belt. Alex has 5 real ones in harder divisions
I'm not ducking. It's more like just being scared...
We can tell you're a Casual 😂
lol u sound stupid
@@AjAj-yh4kv fr 😂
There is no need for negotiation. The interim champ fights the champ
Fascinating in tune bigger not heavier
If there are no negotiations fighting the interim champ there is something wrong with this organisation
Tuning into the UFC for the first time?
@@DARKMATTER_7you mean WWE?
@@anubizz3 oh wait a minute. I meant UFC.
@@DARKMATTER_7nah WWE is right at this rate with how Dana picks and chooses fights that makes no sense to protect Jon 😂😂😂 5 years stipe hasn’t won a fight and he’s fighting the Champion????? Most people have to earn a title shot like Aspinall who at the time defended the interim belt more than jones defended his actual belt 😂😂
@somerandomperson7431 Dont be a goofball.
You want the UFC to work the way you want it to.
This isnt Boxing.
They have always selected fights in this manner.
They dont necessarily stick to who's next in line or ranking.
They'll select a fight fans want to see before that.
It never worked the way you Feel it should.
You must be new to the UFC as well.
But whatever makes you giggle, we can go with that.
Bro he call you out wtf Jones you scared😂😂
Af... he really is scared
😂😂😂 you guys really gotta learn how the UFC works you bozos and all these comments in all of RUclips really gotta understand how the UFC works it’s fucking funny as shit looking at all this dumb ass shit
You were scheduled to fight him. When you got hurt and he became interim champ, you were supposed to fight him when you were able to fight. That’s the rules. You and Dana broke the rules. Oh, and you’re a sociopath.
Nah my men u wrong such harsh words cs he was in contract with stipe Miocic.... where ws tom whn he beat Ciryl Gane
He was never scheduled to fight him what are you even talking about. He Tom was scheduled as replacement in case if stipe got hurt. Also Jon’s has very clearly said after he beat stipe , he might give the people what they want , alex Pereira vs Jones or aspinall vs jones, either ways stop capping. Also it is not his decision either. It’s Dana’s and the ufc decision.
@ do you know the rules behind remaining the champion while an interim champion is crowned? Seems not
@@PEPE_THEKINGnever scheduled but he’s the champ fighting someone who hasn’t won a fight in FIVE years instead of fighting the actual interim champion no one wanted to see stipe vs jones realistically let’s leave that imaginary bubble most the people in this whole comment section have 0 mma knowledge 😂😂😂
@ seems your spreading false information. It was never scheduled you said it was your exact words were that. Then your lying out your 🍑 makes it more hilarious tbh.
I don’t like my GOAT being scared to fight when I know he’s better than the man he’s scared of 😭💯
I honestly feel like this is all build up to hype the fight. It’s gonna be a mega banger when it finally happens
You’re not ducking Tom, you’re running from him.
lol ducking somebody named Tom .. as he said he’s a nobody
Boosting Toms head up just to get Whooped is crazy work 😂😂😂
Sonnen made a very good point. What does the interim belt mean ? It only holds the place of the undisputed champion, once that said champion is in the ring, and the bell rings, the interim belt is stripped.
Yes, it's because in a normal scenario.The undisputed champion faces the interim champion, but here, we have a case where the champion is not willing to face the interim. Are you suggesting that we turn the UFC into boxing just for JbJ?
Bones jones is a living legend
He the goat. No one can say anything that'll takeaway from his status. Facts don't care about your feelings. Only 1 guy beat more ufc champs and that's fedor
Sure. To drug addicts, woman abusers and roid junkies.
@@Garth-bd3pucan't be the goat if you get popped for roids. Immediate disqualification.
He brings up a great point. 16 years and a challenger finally appears. There’s no reason to fight Tom.🤷🏽♂️🗣️
That doesn't make any sense
@@FlatTruther Like Jon says, what changes for Jon if he beats Tom?
@@FlatTrutherhe's been the king of the mountain for 16 years. He's taken on and taken out every contender in that time. It makes perfect sense.
Your statement makes 0 sense
@@Lolsheep115 king of the entire promotion since 23 years old. Beat everyone offered to him. It makes total sense.
Talk your shit bro !!! Make your money !!! When the money looks good then destroy him💯💯💯 don’t let people run you when they can’t….
Acting like he didn’t fight DC not once TWICE
He was the interim champ it's literally what the ufc has been doing since it was founded. You fight for the undisputed title
Very articulate fighter..very well spoken
Spoken like a King 👑, enough said. It's his job to explain it to you, not to understand it for you!!
The problem is that he holds the belt and Tom is the undeniable number one contender. So drop it, because he religiously refuses to fight Aspinall.
I think he should shape up and fight, if he hates people down playing him why not prove them wrong with his performance 🤷🏻♂️
Give this man his respect y'all, he's the goat of MMA if he fights Tom or not
Nah, hes not ducking him hes keeping his distance 💯
Pound for pound Tom Aspinall is the greatest fighter to ever live
He fought every older man to get where he is today
For everyone defending Jon Dana himself said interim belts are there to set up the challenge with the actual belt holder where even after a stripped belt the champs next fight should have to be the previous interim champion
He's champ while you were out. Now you're back, you either show him your champ, or he takes your belt. He is your only fight
If the Jones v Aspenal fight doesnt happen, it will solidify my belief that PFL is the future of mma
Please John go and do if u are not afraid.
If u scared just admit.
Maybe u will win
Bro trying to protect his legacy in a way that is damaging it more than if he straight lost the fight 💀
A lot of words that never said "I'll fight him whenever."
Damn good attitude that's why you are the best John👍
You either fight him or accept defeat and relinquish the belt
Tom would objectively whoop Jon’s ass and that’s why he’s going back to light heavyweight. It’s a smarter career move
The bait of the internet doesn't phase Jon and everyone hates it so much 😂😂
This statement is true; an "interim champion" is only created when the reigning heavyweight champion is unable to fight for a significant period, so if the champion is actively fighting, there is no need for an interim title and therefore, no interim champion exists.
False. The interim Champ becomes the #1 Contender when the Champ returns to being active
You fight him because it's the right thing to do when he was interim champ. He deserves to fight for the belt. Period......
I think Jon Jones deserves to play in movies like Bruce Lee at this point
This is the most gifted mma fighter of all time. One of the greatest to ever lace em up. But he’s real hard to root for. All the things he’s been caught doing outside the cage. Obviously avoiding first Francis now Tom. He doesn’t want to stop fighting and I think he’s horrified of losing that perfect record he has. He knows he probably won’t make 205 lbs again do he won’t be fighting people smaller than him to many more times. Unless he can convince Alex to come up to HW. He’s not afraid of these guys at HW I think he’s afraid of losing that perfect record. He’ll probably open as a slight favourite against Tom but it be close. Most of this is a ploy to get big money to fight Tom imo.
Jone Jones: I'm not ducking Aspinall. I just don't want to lose. 😂😂
He should drop his Title because if Tom deserves to fight for Title shot then he can't ignore
He’s not ducking , he’s setting up a bigger paycheck
"He won a belt" thats what you did for your entire life 😂😂
Y’all forget jones was a ufc champ at 23. So all these people y’all saying was older than him was trying to get the belt from him.
I haven’t seen jones all beat up looking since the Gustafson fight lol
Jon would never last in the old ufc
Dude literally made a career out of beating almost retired legends. And now he complains If he has to fight someone younger
He doesnt wanna lose his record
Tom will RUN this Town!
It’s smart for Tom Aspinall to say “Jon Jones is ducking him” because Aspinall wants the pay day and wants the fight to happen to see if he can do what no man has and that is to defeat Jon Jones. Jon Jones on the other hand doesn’t need that fight and is only interested in the fight if the money is right.
Jones is ducking him. Tom is the #1 contender.
He's ducking him just like he waited for Francis to retire before coming back. Dudes a coward
Saying you want to Vacate the belt to fight a kickboxer, instead of the interim champ is.
Shut up and just fight anybody. That steps in front of you. That's what true champions do not to hide behind words.
I'm with you Jon.. always
I am not a John Jones fan but I will agree with John Jones on the Tom Aspinall fan allegations of saying that John is ducking him because he was never scheduled to ever fight Tom... I would love to see the both of them fight and I think Tom will beat him but I don’t think Tom will just smoke him straight out off the GetGo either
Yall still forgot he’s naturally a lightweight
John Jones, we know what this is about. We know what they see in Aspinal and we know what they’re trying to do. They’ve been trying to do it for years.
I low key agree with Jon even more now. Tom wouldn't do anything for Jon's record. Stipe ran his division, and Jon ran his division. It makes more sense to me.... But, I do believe Tom should be the next fight for Jon. Or Jon should drop the belt and just do money fights while more wins or lose go on his record.
Business doesn't make sense if you have nothing to gain but everything to lose
Used to have respect for Jon as a fighter , basically wouldn’t piss on him now if he were on fire 🤷♂️
If u don't want to fight a deserved person then just retired like Khabib did , that's why people love Khabib, he is honest
