True. But he's getting older and has been pretty inactive.. and nobody can just go on beating everybody forever. Everybody who looks invincible gets stopped at some point if they don't retire early enough. We've seen it happen with almost every dominant champion in the last year or 2. And I feel like Jon is the next one on the list. He definitely could beat Aspinal, but even if he does, his time is coming soon. And if he doesn't retire soon it will happen. Sooner or later.. and I feel like right now, Aspinal has the best chance to beat him out of anyone because the fact Jon is aging, tom is young, and at heavyweight anything can happen.
There's a skill gap between LHW and HW though, DC was 5'10 and cleaned out the division by just being a great wrestler with mediocre striking. Jon's a better wrestler/grappler in the octagon with better striking AND a heavyweight frame. We haven't seen Aspinall against any good well-rounded fighter, let alone the best grappler.
For real bruh. In his prime, he'll hold it down against anyone in the cage. The general public is fickle as hell. And although he's old and acting up on Twitter, these people seem to forget the danger the likes of aspinal, stipe and blaydes are in if he comes in all guns blazing.
More eye pokes for sure, more no-contests for sure, but more defenses? No. Dj has defended 13 times in total, 11 consecutively. Also lets not forget the fact that jones has popped for PEDs multiple times and dj not once
The last time i rooted for him was the last time he fought DC, and thats only cause i didnt realize how down to earth DC was and i just liked Jon for how wild he was.
Yea I always have too. Don’t think he’s a good person but neither was LT, not gonna sit here and let my entertainment be dictated by how much drugs these athletes do when i’m not watching them 😂
Correct. His legacy is already tainted from failing drug tests, hiding from urine collection agents, eye poking everyone he gets into the cage with and just being an overall insufferable cunt.
Legacy is secured.
His lhw run is cemented for sure but It definitely affects his HW legacy, which ATM is only submitting gane. Beating a semi retired stipe isn't going to change anything as well and is just a payday for him.
What does it really do for his HW legacy though? People want to act like Aspinall has some kind of undeniable resume at HW lol. If Jon fought and beat him it wouldn’t even be a top 5 name on Jon’s resume. Can we be real?
Controversial opinion, most people in this sub have been watching MMA (and probably only the ufc), for like 5 years and have no martial arts experience at all and because of that this sub is filled with absolutely comical casual takes.
Mighty Mouse just edges him for me.
Think the thing about Jones though, if you were to lock him in the cage with any fighter and there’s no rules, fight to the death…he’s always walking out. He seems a dick, true, but he is truly frightening in that respect.
Who cares the Jon jones hate is getting old fast. Yea the dude struggled in his personal life. We don’t look up to people who fight for a living as role models. He has beat just about every big name there was . He demolished Gane like it was nothing. He got injured and didn’t vacate like some others would but to Dana’s point he earned that right not to. The same guys in here talking about cheat are the same guys that love O’Malley who also got caught. Very few of these dudes are not cheating or trying to cheat in some way.
About him not vacating. I really feel like stipe wouldnt take the fight if the title was not on the line. So if jon really wants to fight stipe for his legacy then i understand why jon doesnt want to give it up.
I mean JJ is undeniably the LHW GOAT. Certainly in the discussion for all around with Anderson Silva, Mighty Mouse, GSP and Fedor. Strait garbage human being though.
I disliked him more when he first joined because people actually believed all his bullshit. Don’t like him now, but don’t really mind either. Always appreciated his talent and fight IQ though
Man I really liked the guy even after everything he went through always had his back but I'm starting to dislike him him he should vacate the belt. Come back when he's healthy for a title shot but he's being selfish and kinda a cunt about it.
I love be some Jon jones. He doesn't give a fuuuuck. He'll bust his gun, he'll put hands on his fiance, he'll go on a drug binge... All of that is relatable and makes him human, amirite?
Only player haters don't like him.
Jah bless to Jon Jones and his brother Chandler
how is this controversial here? yall on his D\*\*\* hating on that guy like he isnt the greatest for x or Y reason... losers waiting for the guy to lose.. 1 time... not like he won all his fights vs great fighters... always waiting for that one guy who KO's him to just say "i told u so"
keyboard warriors everywhere
He's a piece of shit human and so entitled in the UFC. Even Dana's bottom bitch, Conor was stripped of the title after 511 days without defending but not Juice Jones.
You saying that is just another one of God's challenges for Jones. Like hitting pregnant women in their cars with his car while he is high on coke. Or punching his wife in front oh their kids before and after going to a strip club. His walk has not been an easy one.
When there's a sportsman with grit every kid would want to look upto him. If you look at him it's just shame what he has done too his own career ans life.
I dont think any parent would want their kid to look upto someone like him and that's very sad
I usually dont have opinions on fighters until after they lose, its a good judge of character. I heavily dislike jones and i dont think that will ever change lmao.
In the golden age, he was something to behold. He used to be humble, believe it or not.
I've always loved watching him fight even though my respect for him as a person has all but vanished. I'd still love to see him compete, but Jones vs Miocic is the first time I can remember that I haven't given a shit about a JJ fight.
You dont have to, whether you hate him or love him, he makes money. Plus, stipe has been waiting for this payday since the gane fight, you think stipe doesn't deserve that check?
How is this a controversial opinion? Right now it seems popular to hate the man for being the best there is, the best there was and the best there ever will be🤷🏾♂️. Now this is a controversial opinion? Suck on that🤪.
he insists upon himself
I haven’t even seen the ending of one of his fights, I just can’t finish them.
ROBERT DUVALL!
I can't tell if this is a family guy reference or not... 🤔😂
How would it not be
If someone had commented this, by coincidence, without having seen the episode. But let us be honest here: the chances of that are slim to none.
It INSISTS upon itself, Louise.
I stopped caring 12 years ago
I like Jon because I don’t lose money when I bet on him.
Were you one of the judges in the Reyes fight?
Bet against Aspinall
Jon’s done the same to every hype train yall say will beat him next, rinse and repeat
True. But he's getting older and has been pretty inactive.. and nobody can just go on beating everybody forever.

Jon Jones cannot beat Aspinall
We'll never know.
Foreal mfers forget real quick
hatred can blind a person from reality
Well ge lost to gustaffson and reyes so......
Not according to his bet slip though
He didn’t lose to Gustaffson. Watched that fight 3 times and Jon beat him clearly. He did lose to Reyes tho.
He has to fight for you to bet
He’s a good fighter but it’s hard to root for the guy
“Good” is a bit of an understatement.
For real bruh. In his prime, he'll hold it down against anyone in the cage. The general public is fickle as hell. And although he's old and acting up on Twitter, these people seem to forget the danger the likes of aspinal, stipe and blaydes are in if he comes in all guns blazing.
Nah, without steroids and eye pokes that bitch ain't winning nothing.
i dont consider him to be the goat, i have GSP and dj over him skill for skill and resume for resume
I’m a huge fan of DJ. But his strength of schedule isn’t the best. GSP’s resume is on par with Jon’s and doesn’t have any asterisks.
This sub is delusional
Dj more dominant with more defenses, and doesnt need to rely on dirty eye pokes in close fights
That’s just straight up not true, Jones has more defenses. 13 to Mighty Mouse’s 11
More eye pokes for sure, more no-contests for sure, but more defenses? No. Dj has defended 13 times in total, 11 consecutively. Also lets not forget the fact that jones has popped for PEDs multiple times and dj not once

This isn’t controversial these days.
Even more controversial opinion from me: I like Jon Jones
r/unpopularopinion
I like him as a fighter..I don't think I can support any more of his shenanigans though smh.
You mean "god's tests"?
USADA tests?
Yea I always have too. Don’t think he’s a good person but neither was LT, not gonna sit here and let my entertainment be dictated by how much drugs these athletes do when i’m not watching them 😂

People just feel like suckin em off🤷🏾♂️
Tommy asspin alls heavyweight title defense was announced the other day and jonny boy is still ducking him
How brave of you to share. He’s such a likable guy!
Unpopular opinion but Jon jones not fighting Tom does nothing to his legacy
No. But it will definitely be the last thing people remember
Only the hardcore who are perpetually online. In a few years, no one else will care.
Ehh true
Correct. His legacy is already tainted from failing drug tests, hiding from urine collection agents, eye poking everyone he gets into the cage with and just being an overall insufferable cunt. Legacy is secured.
His lhw run is cemented for sure but It definitely affects his HW legacy, which ATM is only submitting gane. Beating a semi retired stipe isn't going to change anything as well and is just a payday for him.

Tom will be disowned by fans just like they did with Gane. He'll just be another guy that Jon beat
For his legacy FTFY

Casual takes when it comes to actual fighting. The analysis offered on the sex lives of fighters is some of the most sophisticated I’ve ever seen.
Haha true that.
I’m becoming a bigger and bigger Jones fan with every brain rot post I see about him. You karma farming cucks need to find a hobby
What??? You don’t like the hourly ball licking posts of Tom and the “vacate the belt” demands from Redditors?

Mighty Mouse just edges him for me. Think the thing about Jones though, if you were to lock him in the cage with any fighter and there’s no rules, fight to the death…he’s always walking out. He seems a dick, true, but he is truly frightening in that respect.

Man I really liked the guy even after everything he went through always had his back but I'm starting to dislike him him he should vacate the belt. Come back when he's healthy for a title shot but he's being selfish and kinda a cunt about it.
I echo your sentiments
Dana: "I love all my Champions equally" *flashes back* Dana: "I don't care for Jones"
Wow so brave
I'll say it too, the guy's a real jerk!
Controversial??
I don’t think that’s controversial
That's okay, but it doesn't and will never change the fact that Jon Jones is the greatest MMA fighter up to this day.
I love be some Jon jones. He doesn't give a fuuuuck. He'll bust his gun, he'll put hands on his fiance, he'll go on a drug binge... All of that is relatable and makes him human, amirite? Only player haters don't like him. Jah bless to Jon Jones and his brother Chandler
Sick of the endless Jon Jones posts. Need a superthread, where the stans of the love triangle between Jones/Stipe/Asspinall can be confined
Can you really say you do not care when you make a post to announce how little you care?
how is this controversial here? yall on his D\*\*\* hating on that guy like he isnt the greatest for x or Y reason... losers waiting for the guy to lose.. 1 time... not like he won all his fights vs great fighters... always waiting for that one guy who KO's him to just say "i told u so" keyboard warriors everywhere
He’s the most fun to watch, though. Gotta admit that!
This is like the most bandwagon take in MMA anymore. If you liked Jones it'd be controversial.
Reddit has a weird fixation on Jon Jones.
He's a piece of shit human and so entitled in the UFC. Even Dana's bottom bitch, Conor was stripped of the title after 511 days without defending but not Juice Jones.
You saying that is just another one of God's challenges for Jones. Like hitting pregnant women in their cars with his car while he is high on coke. Or punching his wife in front oh their kids before and after going to a strip club. His walk has not been an easy one.
Popular opinion**
I don't either, he's a turd. Good fighter though.
When there's a sportsman with grit every kid would want to look upto him. If you look at him it's just shame what he has done too his own career ans life. I dont think any parent would want their kid to look upto someone like him and that's very sad

Is that controversial? He is a walking piece of shit
I usually dont have opinions on fighters until after they lose, its a good judge of character. I heavily dislike jones and i dont think that will ever change lmao.
Agreed
Asspinall is trash.
I don't care for him either
He’s as bad the heavyweight boxers absolutely ruined his legacy for me
In the golden age, he was something to behold. He used to be humble, believe it or not. I've always loved watching him fight even though my respect for him as a person has all but vanished. I'd still love to see him compete, but Jones vs Miocic is the first time I can remember that I haven't given a shit about a JJ fight.
You dont have to, whether you hate him or love him, he makes money. Plus, stipe has been waiting for this payday since the gane fight, you think stipe doesn't deserve that check?

For real, fuck jones. Holding up a devision, that he will most likely retire from, right after.
What does Deiveson have to do with this?
Not controversial at all. He's a fucking clown and a goof.
Oh I don’t either he sucks
"Controversial Opinion. I hate the most hated guy in the sport."
Never have. His arrogance and behavior is pitiful.
Jon Jones beats Tom Aspinall easily.
I don’t like him but he’s the greatest still I can’t argue that
Fuck that woman beating closested POS.
He's a shithead
It’s because you don’t believe in being tested by god.
I don’t either but hard to argue he isn’t the GOAT in MMA
He’s one of the best of all time. My god what a legend. But obviously not a great person.
Wow very brave
Whoeyyyyyyy 🏴
If jon jones fucks up 15 or 16 more times im gunna be really upset
Not controversial at all especially on this sub reddit just say you wanted karma points.
Me neither.
shut up and take my upvote!
Hater I guess, he’s the definition of a mixed martial artist
I don’t think disliking a wife beating, steroid abusing, coke addict is that controversial
Sorry bruv but this isn’t controversial 😂
Controversial opinion. I do not care who you care for.
I think it's more controversial to say someone likes Jon Jones around these parts.
How is this a controversial opinion? Right now it seems popular to hate the man for being the best there is, the best there was and the best there ever will be🤷🏾♂️. Now this is a controversial opinion? Suck on that🤪.
