Gane or, depending on how Almeida does in his next fight, Almeida would be interesting fights too. Title's arent the be-all-end-all. Chimaev's not asking for a title shot right now when he's clearly the number 1 contender. More competitive division though so a direct comparison isn't exactly right.
You’re right it probably will be stalled. However, my question is when will it end if John fights him and happens to win then the very next guy who is on a hot streek will say John is a coward,. He’s not fighting him. John is ducking. When does this man get to stop having to prove anythinghe’s beaten everybody?he is undefeated you know.
You book them for June/July. Announce it in Feb. I think its Jon's last fight win or lose. So the undisputed title should be vacant in the wake of Jones v Aspinall. Tom fights Gane by the end of 2025 for the undisputed belt. Btw Jon wins that fight. Aspinall is a mediocore grappler compared to Jon, conditioning is untested beyond the early second round, in his fight against Orlovski he clinched against the fence after any kind of physical activity (lol) You guys wanna come and tell me that he is a black belt, well he's been on his back one time ever and he managed to get finished (lol). I get it boys, Aspinall is just an honest young bloke with an endearing accent, his Dad's in his corner, hes more relatable than Jon, plus he asked that hot girl if shes ever been fingered, giving you gays something to beat off to. I get it. But aspinall is not the second coming of Cain. Or Stipe. Or JJ. Hes a big guy with a bit of speed and a right hand, eating through the weakest HW division since the 90s. I like Tom btw. But this delusion has to stop lol
You have no clue how "inferior" the grappling is of Aspinall. You can't go by what he has allowed everyone to see. He hasn't NEEDED to use grappling, that doesn't mean he doesn't know how to grapple. I say he does. He's too smart to not see his own gaps. I'm not saying he beats Jones, Jones is a freak. But Aspinall absolutely has the tools to be ABLE to beat Jon. And the longer Jon waits, the longer Tom works on those things he needs to to defeat him. Don't ever underestimate how significant being a gifted NATURAL heavyweight is. Tom is the first well-rounded, natural heavyweight (who is also athletic), to begin mma as a child. Not bjj, not kickboxing, but MMA. You cannot understand how powerful that is. Barring a lucky punch, not one, single heavyweight out there stands a chance against him than Jones. That's a fact. You know it. Aspinall can absolutely beat Jones. Anyone who says otherwise is the one deluding themselves. That said, my money is still on Jon.
@Biden977 you mean the same afe as Randy Couture when he won the belt? I dobt get your point. He obliterated Miocic. He ahhihilated Miocic. He broke bones on Miocic. No one has ever done that to Miocic and Jones made it look easy. I'm not a fan of Jones as a person but as a fighter your critisism of him literally looks silly.
Jones should be expected to defend 3 times next year then, so schedule Aspinall vs Jones asap. If Jon wants to play games about it then strip the belt and let him retire.
Defend 3 times? He’s literally at the end of his career. Most Champions do good to defend 2x a year. Heavyweights even less. Jon holds the record for most title defenses. He’s earned his place to defend as many times as he wants.
Jones will be champ at the end of 2025 unless he chooses to retire. Everyone jumping on the Aspinal bandwagon but forget Jones plays chess with these fools. Aspinal will grow from his future loss
It always cracks me up hearing the 3 fight per year deal. I don't think half the champs fight 3 times a year. (2 maybe) I'm actually curious if half of the entire UFC roster fights 3 times a year.. Splitting hairs here
I’m almost positive that half do not fight 3x a year. Maybe 15% or 20% at most I’d say. But yeah agreed, splitting hairs especially for Heavyweight division.
Not sure how Cyril's name keeps being brought up. Dude waited 15 months between his last two fights to make the awful tv series "La Cage" and got gifted a win over Volkov. There's a reason Jon was a -900 favorite against a 42 year old who hadn't fought in 3.5 years and who was coming off a knockout loss. I made some good money off of Jon Jones vs Cyril Gane because I was sure the fight would go down exactly like the fight went down; with Jon Jones quickly taking down Cyril and submitting him. Tom is younger, faster, stronger and has a ground game. Jon is old and slow. Tom will smoke Jon Jones and it will not even be close.
Aspinall will fight jon next and the only way he doesn’t fight Jon next is if Jon relinquishes the belt or retires. Period. I think it will be international fight week or they will drag it out forever into like august or something. The sooner the better.
Jon will fight Tom next, he's just trolling. If he beats Tom he will fight once more and defend the belt a 4th time and then retire and go as the goat of LHW and HW.

Haven’t we seen you before? Oh your Jon’s boyfriend that was at the comedy club with him. Thanks for dropping by little buddy your welcome here just don’t get close
Jon Jones will demolish all comers or contenders or interim champions whatever you want to call them. He is a Soul Eater.He will remain Heavyweight Champion until his retirement. ( Chael P, you broke Jon's toe and that it good enough for me.)
Maybe check out some of his recent fights… for him to demolish all comers he kind of needed to demolish his last few fights… and besides being gifted a guy who can’t wrestle at all, and then a guy who is old, coming off a loss, and has fought in years… Jon fought two guys a weight class down and didn’t demolish anything. Might want to rewatch. Ask your mom to pay for fight pass for a month…
Rocky Balboa asks Appolo Creed to train him in Rocky 3, the best has to ask the best. Plot twist - Jon Jones turns to Daniel Cormier to train Jon, the best asks the best! THAT WOULD BE EPIC!!!! 💪
Jon deserves anything he wants. If we pass up Alex and Jon. We will forever debate the GOAT. Tom will always be available. I believe if you give Jon, Alex. Jon will eventually take on Tom. But it's best to make Tom fight again before he gets Jon. Tom should work through the field to elevate the other heavyweights
Still don't think JJ will take on Aspinal he will stall ask for more money and stall more. And hope Tom will take another fight again so Jones can talk about Alex....again....
Jon fighting whoever he wants vs Jon not fighting, he's an expiring hot commodity. Get it while it's hot. Book the fight you can book when you can book it.
The UFC has now made it possible to make an interim title fight when the championship fight is already booked. The UFC should have just made a number one contender fight, they made a mistake, cause now you can have two fighters per weight class with belts, defending at the same time. They've broken there own rule making it all confusing
In all seriousness, what other option does Jon Jones have? Jones vs Stipe held up the division for a year. Now it's time to move forward. If he refuses to fight Aspinall, the Promotion needs to take the belt off him. I say this out of respect for the sport. Because they can't continue to hold up a division for one person.
Jones vs Aspinall is the only thing that matters - and it´s by no means a given that Aspinall will win, Jon Jones has an uncanny ability to find and expose weaknesses in his opponents
Jon likely doesn't compete again until at least summer 2025 (assuming he doesn't retire). I don't see Tom accepting any other opponent. But the most likely scenario is that it happens late 2025.
jon jones will beat tommy and send aspinal fans spiraling out of control....then jon jones will beat alex...then jon jones will beat khamzat for the 185 belt...then retire as goat 1 p4p tripple champ
Anyone who thinks Jones vs Aspinall will ever happen is kidding themselves. Jones might sign it but will then have a career ending injury. Jones will never risk his record for a fighter he thinks is too young, too fast, and too good.
This reminds me of the hot girl I asked out a thousand times. Then we went out. What a waste of time. The thoughts and anticipation all for nothing. SMH.
No one wants to see aspinal. It’s a cash grab to get Jones in the ring as many times as Dana can. I’m not real mad it because Jones is a magician. He’s the GOAT and the most entertaining to watch. I can’t wait for Pereira tho. That’s what we wanna see.
Dana won't waste Alex (with 0 grappling skills) in a fight against Jones unless is their last match before leaving MMA. Jon can fight Tom, get stripped from the fake belt or retire.
@ John never seems interested in grappling. He seems very willing to keep the fight standing. Aspinall has no chance against John standing or on the ground. Pereira has at least some chance with his striking. I think they both get smashed but the more entertaining fight is Pereira.
@@papabilby8855 To be honest, after seing how slow was Jon vs Stipe I have no interest in Tom fighting Jon. I just want Jones stripped from the fake belt so Dana can arrange a fight in Riahd between the best UFC Heavy Weight (Aspinall) vs the former champion (Nganou). None of the rest of the currents contenders in the HW MMA world are even close to those two.
@@Buran01 😂 I can’t imagine any reason for you actually believing that outside of not liking Jon outside of the ring. And you have very good reason to feel that way. He’s not a great guy, but he is absolutely the greatest of all time inside the octagon. He will retire an undefeated HW and every second will be the most entertaining fight you will ever watch. Very hard to take you seriously by saying that Nganou is better than Jon Jones.
@@papabilby8855 Jon is no one in the HW world. Gane never won the title and Stipe have been retired since Francis chopped out his head. I never cared about categories under HW, also...
Let jon do whatever he wants save him for international fight week against the winner of aspinall vs Pereira. For 30 mil win or lose he retires the goat of mma .
Tom is an illegitimate champion. You laid it out before Jon and Stipe fought, that the minute the bell rings for the undisputed title, there is no longer an interim champ. BUT, since they didn't follow protocol and take that title away from him, he is still "interim champ", and champions don't fight FOR the number one spot. They fight to KEEP the number one spot. Therefore, Tom can't fight for anything less than the "interim" belt, at this time. Making any fight he takes, a title fight. Do I make the Jon and Tom fight next? Yes! But I wouldn't wait til November to do it. A healthy champion and contender should be fighting by June! If not sooner. Nobody is clamouring to fight Tom because he cleaned out the division. There IS nobody to fight him! The UFC doesn't seem to be recruiting new talent for the heavyweight division. Maybe there aren't any hw prospects in the regional scene. Idk. Suppose that they fight and Tom wins. Who's he going to fight afterwards? Who's going to challenge for the belt? I think he's already beaten the number 2,3,4 and 5 ranked guys. That division lacks depth for up and coming talent. We don't see many heavyweight fights for position. I think they have a real problem.
@@indivisible885 I’m 1100% sure about that. Stripping Tom after he won it against a legit contender on short notice (for himself) THEN DEFENDED IT AGAINST A LEGITIMATE CONTENDER would tarnish the legacy of the HW belt, the HW division and the UFC as an organization. Not to mention remove Jones from ever hearing a peep about being the goat since he would rather the company strip the rightful #1 Contentender and current IC champ than fight him for his Mickey Mouse belt
I like Jon but why does Dana want him to be the face of UFC so badly? There are fighters who exhibit better character than him, and he’s not even the top merchandise seller.
@@a-damthemansixtynan4463 ngannou hasn’t sold over 100k ppv or sold out any event he’s headlined since he left the ufc. All francis did was collect the “bag” that he swears by and now has 2 losses on his record.
Let Jones fight Ngannou for ‘baddest man on the planet’ fight and they both retire. And let aspinall fight pereira for undisputed heavyweight and let’s move on.
Interim talk is bullshit, as you know, Chael. There is no interim title at HW. We all see that you are talking about such nonsense because Dana needs the leverage to use against Jon. I hate it, but you need to play the tunes you're paid for. Jon will either get beaten (more likely by Pereira than Aspinall, I think), or he'll defend and retire. Jon will not be champ by year's end. If he fights Pereira, he might not even be GOAT anymore.
Tom aspinal.. start pissing off jon jones.. disregard his accomplishments.. while yourself claiming to he the best hw with zero body of work and at best 2-3rd fighter.. start bagging him abt his past misdeeds. Wake that beast up. Claiming to be the best hw ever with just handful of knock outs. Keeping saying jon jones is nothing compared to the great tom aspinal
Jon has more of a claim to that than Tom does. Jon's beaten the number 1 contender (Gane) and the former champion (Stipe). Not saying Tom doesn't deserve a shot, but by any metric Jon's the legitimate champion right now.
I hope master Chael hears this. I HATE TRUMP. But the disrespect showed to your family i wish i was there. I'd be standing right by your side. Uncle chael no on ever disrespects your family like that. ❤🥋🥊
@@dangermouse9348 Actually that is factually incorrect. Never fought anyone any good. Blades KO'd tammy. Tammy didnt fight derek lewis. Didnt fight Rozenstuck didnt fight Gane didnt fight Almeida. That is your real top 5 not including JBJ and Stipe until he retired. So who exactly did Tammy beat? Oh yeah that early stoppage to BLades in London. He KO a HW that has been Knocked out a few times. So who exactly had Tammy KO that is a legit contender? Please make your comment make sense?
@@StrykerGSP Blaydes won because Tom's knee collapsed. Even he didn't count it as a win lol. Volkov the man who was just robbed against Gane who couldn't put him away in 8 rounds lol, Sergei who was super feared at the time. Gane ran away when he was No.1 contender. Derek is washed. Stipe he would go through like a knife through butter. Just as he's going to against Jon. Remember, the same Jon that wanted to fight Alex for regular money because he knew it would be an easier fight, but for Tom he need's that f*ck you money. Says it all really.
Jon is a narcissist that enjoys the power of holding up an entire division. Yes, he will be the champ not only in 2025 but also 2026 because he will simply find a reason to not fight.

This reminds me of the hot girl I asked out a thousand times. Then we went out. What a waste of time. The thoughts and anticipation all for nothing. SMH.
All we want to know is if Chael went to Anderson's BBQ
Only if he still hasn't fought Tom Aspinal
No one wants to see aspinal. It’s a cash grab to get Jones in the ring as many times as Dana can. I’m not real mad it because Jones is a magician. He’s the GOAT and the most entertaining to watch. I can’t wait for Pereira tho. That’s what we wanna see.
Dana won't waste Alex (with 0 grappling skills) in a fight against Jones unless is their last match before leaving MMA.
Jon can fight Tom, get stripped from the fake belt or retire.
@ John never seems interested in grappling. He seems very willing to keep the fight standing. Aspinall has no chance against John standing or on the ground. Pereira has at least some chance with his striking. I think they both get smashed but the more entertaining fight is Pereira.
@@papabilby8855 To be honest, after seing how slow was Jon vs Stipe I have no interest in Tom fighting Jon. I just want Jones stripped from the fake belt so Dana can arrange a fight in Riahd between the best UFC Heavy Weight (Aspinall) vs the former champion (Nganou). None of the rest of the currents contenders in the HW MMA world are even close to those two.
@@Buran01 😂 I can’t imagine any reason for you actually believing that outside of not liking Jon outside of the ring. And you have very good reason to feel that way. He’s not a great guy, but he is absolutely the greatest of all time inside the octagon. He will retire an undefeated HW and every second will be the most entertaining fight you will ever watch. Very hard to take you seriously by saying that Nganou is better than Jon Jones.
@@papabilby8855 Jon is no one in the HW world. Gane never won the title and Stipe have been retired since Francis chopped out his head. I never cared about categories under HW, also...
Uncle Chael running out of content
Uncle Chael will you teach me how to change the oil in my car?
no. It will be in July.
Let jon do whatever he wants save him for international fight week against the winner of aspinall vs Pereira. For 30 mil win or lose he retires the goat of mma .
Alex has zero take down defense he will get subbed in seconds
@Biden977 regardless he wants to move up and Jon wants to fight him if he sleeps tom win win if he loses jon fights tom
@ as a Jon fan he will get knocked out against Tom that’s why he is asking for a lot money it’s too much risk he is huge underdog on betting lines
@@Biden977u sound like an aspinall fan disguised as a jon jones fan
@ as a sambo and brown belt in jujitsu I say facts jones looked slow against a 43 year old with no punching power..
Dana says Jon will be champ in 2035
Jon hasn't said any of that stuff in months
Would we strip jones if he pushes to november or beyond? Jones should have been stripped already.
Really?? Wow you are low IQ. Strip tammy she hasnt fought in how long now? JBJ just fought in Nov.
Tito tapped
Mayweather vs canelo 2.0
Can I please ask: what part of this audience is looking to replace coffee with vegan “adaptogens”?
He'll beat Tom and be retired by the end of 2025 if Alex isnt an option 😎🤙
Not if he fights Tom Aspinal
@@marcusbailey3988 wrong
@jimtom4878 Just because you live in Jon's jockstraps doesn't mean the truth isn't there for everyone to see, keep glazing though 😂
@@marcusbailey3988 I'll come back when jpn is victorious, again
@@marcusbailey3988 jon
Jones will submit Tom
Hopefully he beats Tom then retires
If he faces Tom i do not believe he will be champ anymore
Jones isn’t fighting for another 2 years and will vacate the belt
If he fights, he will win.
He'll be retired. He'll beat Tom Aspinal and then have a catch weight BMF fight against Alex.
Tom will put Jon into a deep sleep called RETIREMENT…😂
Jonny fans will boycott ufc 😂
if Jon is no longer the best he should be stripped of his belt.
👊🏻
Tom is an illegitimate champion. You laid it out before Jon and Stipe fought, that the minute the bell rings for the undisputed title, there is no longer an interim champ. BUT, since they didn't follow protocol and take that title away from him, he is still "interim champ", and champions don't fight FOR the number one spot. They fight to KEEP the number one spot. Therefore, Tom can't fight for anything less than the "interim" belt, at this time. Making any fight he takes, a title fight.
Do I make the Jon and Tom fight next? Yes! But I wouldn't wait til November to do it. A healthy champion and contender should be fighting by June! If not sooner.
Nobody is clamouring to fight Tom because he cleaned out the division. There IS nobody to fight him! The UFC doesn't seem to be recruiting new talent for the heavyweight division. Maybe there aren't any hw prospects in the regional scene. Idk.
Suppose that they fight and Tom wins. Who's he going to fight afterwards? Who's going to challenge for the belt? I think he's already beaten the number 2,3,4 and 5 ranked guys. That division lacks depth for up and coming talent. We don't see many heavyweight fights for position. I think they have a real problem.
You can’t take the interim belt from the IC unless he loses to the champion period
@MacklinBurtMacklinFBI are you sure about that?
@@indivisible885 I’m 1100% sure about that. Stripping Tom after he won it against a legit contender on short notice (for himself) THEN DEFENDED IT AGAINST A LEGITIMATE CONTENDER would tarnish the legacy of the HW belt, the HW division and the UFC as an organization. Not to mention remove Jones from ever hearing a peep about being the goat since he would rather the company strip the rightful #1 Contentender and current IC champ than fight him for his Mickey Mouse belt
Ciryl gane 🤷🏻♂️
Ciryl vs Tom
No.
I like Jon but why does Dana want him to be the face of UFC so badly? There are fighters who exhibit better character than him, and he’s not even the top merchandise seller.
Tom cant even sell out in his home town
@@tylero238 He probably could now. Ngannou could sell better than both of them, but Dana says no.
@@a-damthemansixtynan4463 ngannou hasn’t sold over 100k ppv or sold out any event he’s headlined since he left the ufc. All francis did was collect the “bag” that he swears by and now has 2 losses on his record.
@@tylero238 That's not my point. In fact, you are pointing out that his UFC return would be huge, which is the point i was making.
@ no one would buy it is my point
Let Jones fight Ngannou for ‘baddest man on the planet’ fight and they both retire. And let aspinall fight pereira for undisputed heavyweight and let’s move on.
Idk if Jon will be champ, but I do know Cowboy Cerrone will have two L’s at MW
Interim talk is bullshit, as you know, Chael. There is no interim title at HW. We all see that you are talking about such nonsense because Dana needs the leverage to use against Jon. I hate it, but you need to play the tunes you're paid for. Jon will either get beaten (more likely by Pereira than Aspinall, I think), or he'll defend and retire. Jon will not be champ by year's end. If he fights Pereira, he might not even be GOAT anymore.
Tom aspinal.. start pissing off jon jones.. disregard his accomplishments.. while yourself claiming to he the best hw with zero body of work and at best 2-3rd fighter.. start bagging him abt his past misdeeds. Wake that beast up. Claiming to be the best hw ever with just handful of knock outs. Keeping saying jon jones is nothing compared to the great tom aspinal
By the end of 2025, Jon Jones will be retired. Kind of like Gilbert Burns...
Depends if he fakes another injury or manages to avoid Tom!
Im glad everyone knows tom is the real champion
Jon has more of a claim to that than Tom does. Jon's beaten the number 1 contender (Gane) and the former champion (Stipe). Not saying Tom doesn't deserve a shot, but by any metric Jon's the legitimate champion right now.
I hope master Chael hears this. I HATE TRUMP. But the disrespect showed to your family i wish i was there. I'd be standing right by your side. Uncle chael no on ever disrespects your family like that. ❤🥋🥊
Wut
They should let Jon do whatever he wants. Tom is a nobody, he’s done nothing.
Nothing except beating half of the current HW top ten in under 6 minutes.
Nothing at all . . .
@@dangermouse9348 Actually that is factually incorrect. Never fought anyone any good. Blades KO'd tammy. Tammy didnt fight derek lewis. Didnt fight Rozenstuck didnt fight Gane didnt fight Almeida. That is your real top 5 not including JBJ and Stipe until he retired. So who exactly did Tammy beat? Oh yeah that early stoppage to BLades in London. He KO a HW that has been Knocked out a few times. So who exactly had Tammy KO that is a legit contender? Please make your comment make sense?
@@StrykerGSP Blaydes won because Tom's knee collapsed. Even he didn't count it as a win lol. Volkov the man who was just robbed against Gane who couldn't put him away in 8 rounds lol, Sergei who was super feared at the time. Gane ran away when he was No.1 contender. Derek is washed. Stipe he would go through like a knife through butter.
Just as he's going to against Jon.
Remember, the same Jon that wanted to fight Alex for regular money because he knew it would be an easier fight, but for Tom he need's that f*ck you money.
Says it all really.
Tom will beat Jon Jones in 2025!
He will win by failed drug test.
Jon is a narcissist that enjoys the power of holding up an entire division. Yes, he will be the champ not only in 2025 but also 2026 because he will simply find a reason to not fight.
Yes because he won’t fight anyone
didnt JBJ fight last month? When was the last time Horse teeth tammy fought? Asking for my friend called Having an above average IQ.
This is getting beyond ridiculous. Jones isnt even the champ now.
Wish I had your number unc Chael
He won't. He was slot and got hit a few times by 42 year old stipe. Tom will make him wake up to the crowd
