Jon Jones teases retirement after Stipe Miocic bout, Tom Aspinall responds

[Wild]

Jon Jones is going to fight Stipe Miocic, no matter what.

Jones won the UFC heavyweight title 17 months ago by submitting Ciryl Gane at UFC 285. He was then scheduled to defend it against Stipe Miocic at UFC 296 before suffering an injury that forced him from the bout. Since then, Jones has been recovering with the intention of returning against Miocic later this year, despite the emergence of interim champion Tom Aspinall.

Understandably, Aspinall appears to be increasingly frustrated by Jones’ insistence on fighting Miocic — who is 42 years old and has not competed in more than three years — rather than unifying their titles, even suggesting earlier this week that “there’s no way on Earth” Jones will ever fight him. And Jones isn’t really doing much to dissuade that notion.

On Tuesday, Jones took to social media with a series of posts about Aspinall, his legacy in the sport, and his steadfast resolve to fight Miocic.

"he actually wrestled division one"

Yeah in the fucking 1960s.

God I hope Stipe somehow actually beats his ass.

Jones will finish stipe in brutal fashion. He's gonna make it nasty.

He can use 12-6 elbows, so everyone is fukt

Only the ref can save Stipe. Sad!

He will probably beat Stipe but history has proven he will pop hot for something shortly after and it won't matter.

He's gonna beat Stipe but it's not going to be a blow out, and that's why them dragging this fight out, where everybody already thinks it is a waste of time, is a bad idea.

The fans shit talking Jones is getting to him.

 

[jason73]

he is going to beat stipe but he is only facing the inactive ghost of stipe . he will be fighting a version of stipe who had his block knocked off by francis in his last fight and has only fought francis and DC in the last 6 years . we are likely seeing Jon at the end of his prime while Stipes prime was 2016. jon is doing what he always did and trying to make his legacy off an aging star . he did it on the come up fighting a past prime shogun and rampage . i always will root for the veteran and it would be great to see jon get humbled but i think jon will smash stipe in reality

It's a shame Jones turned out to be such an uninteresting piece of shit. I started out rooting for him, but I barely even want to see him fight anymore.

I was all in, one of the few voices that said he's gonna make Shogun look easy, & it's gonna be Jones that needs 'figuring out'.
After worshipping Silva & them mutually refusing to fight, eyepokes, picograms, cheating, alcoholism, street racing, cocaine, money, pregnant women, hypocrisy after preaching....nevemore.
He's a pathetic human being.
I hope old man Stipe gets lucky and injures Jones enough to keep him out for 2 years.
Then, alas, gone into asterisk history books.
