Dana White on Jon Jones vs. Alex Pereira: "Jon's just asking, but he's fighting Stipe" 

Dana white is the same guy who hypes up powerslap 😂 what do u expect

gambling money..

That’s what a promoter is for.

@@e46_ggg _Dana white is the same guy who_ -hypes up powerslap- fires someone for "abusing women," when all that he did was tell her that her husband was a bad referee and releases fighters for allegedly assaulting people, while he publically beats his wife 😂 _what do u expect_

Queens get to do What They want.

100%

I only know 3 people who want this fight. Dana, stipe and jones. If they actually put this turd fight together it proves Dana does on occasion have ulterior motives outside of money/PPV numbers since this stipe vs Jones thing is the furthest thing from a money maker And the furthest from intriguing.

@@bigchedds8389 agreed, terrible business decision

Then don’t

idk anyone being forced to

Why ? Jon jones is awesome one of the best to do it and I don’t wanna here about steroids and legal troubles blah blah bull shyt , they are fighters who cares what they do

Same with McGregor

He’s the est of all time. Plus that 1 fight at wwe HW. Mad respect.

Hes a wwe casual don't pay him no attention ​@@ozzy541

Bro you a hater!!!!!! Jones is the 🐐 !!!!!

😂😂😂😂

It's impossible to not Read this in Dan's voice

hahahahahahap

Tom needs to do something to generate some hype and force it

i think they try to make another interem fight

Tom could very well be the next Belal... Who knows

No one is a real challenge. Tom gets finished. Alex gets finished. Stipe gets finished. The challenge left the UFC...

Because of Jones and Stipe clearly

Money over sport

Cause Dana said so

Jones wants a “legacy fight” notice how that term has never been used before Jones called for Stipe. All it means is fighting an old washed legend for an easy win.

@@kingt0295 Yeah i didnt hear that term getting thrown around when izzy fought silva. Silva was like 44 when that fight happened though and was a legend at the end of his career.

She’s in to some shit for sure 😂

@ashbrowny sounds like it!

You know he found out later. 😏🤣

Badass

Hilarious I’m surprised no one else is talking about it😂

Thanks bro

goat thanks bro

thank you " byJuri Prochazka voice...

Thanks man!. Can't wait to see the GOAT back again

To be fair I haven’t seen he has refused to fight Tom. I think JJ just wants to get maximum amount of legacy and money from his remaining fights. Stipe is still considered the best HW of all time, so makes sense to beat him. And at the this stage of his career that feels eminently doable. Alex P is only getting better and could be a three weight champ in future so beating him now whilst your nan could take him down again helps give a large payday and boost legacy for minimal risk. Tom is still not well known outside of UK and is easily the most dangerous fight for John. I think it’s a simple risk / reward calculation. I don’t think Jon is scared he just doesn’t want to risk it unless there is an overwhelming threat to his legacy.

@@markmullaney4279 I understand what you’re saying with Stipes accolades, and JJ not specifically “refusing” to fight him, but he’s totally dodging him though. If JJ wanted the maximum legacy right, why would he fight stipe at this point in time if the no one gives a shit about him beating someone we all knew he would beat? Years after the win people would say he beat an old stipe. Additionally why would he casually mention Alex’s name to the fans, basically asking if they’d want to see it? So by the looks of it, he would rather fight retiring stipe who hasn’t fought it was seems like eons, or Alex Peirera, who has a massive hole in his game we all know exists ( his wrestling ). His toughest fight would be the most well rounded, hungriest opponent at HW, and wouldn’t ya know it, Tom Aspinall checks those boxes, and is the interim champion. If JJ wanted to solidify his legacy the most he’d take out Tom Aspinall, shut everyone up, then retire.

No one other than duck duck Jones, continuing to grow old stipe and Dana I'm all about making money want this fight. So if this fight isn't about money and getting as many PPV buys (no ones interested in this fight other than the 3 mentioned above) what else is going on in the background? I'd like to know what Jones has over Dana.

@@bigchedds8389 yeah he’s definitely got some sort of leverage

The stipe fight has been on the cards and "next" for a while now. When it was announced everybody wanted to see it, now you're saying it's in the way for Tom Aspinall. Be consistent, the fight hasn't happens yet. If you said " I wish these fights happened quicker" I could understand but you can't just keep changing main event fights every time a new fad comes along.

Yh I was actually surprised tbh

UFC been poppin recently for some reason

That's St.Louis for you!!!

That's St.Louis for ya!!!

TBF, those fights were great. It is so rare to see that many fights deliver that could all be fight of the night on any other card. Us fans were spoiled with this card

Islam vs DP is easily worse & less competitive

@@itsreihart9865Dustin always has insane pressure and entertaining fights. Plus Islam is coming off a month long fast. His steroids won’t have their full effect. So you’re wrong. The flyweights are infinitely worse.

​@@itsreihart9865 No it's not , Poirier is still active

@@itsreihart9865 Nope. Poirier will lose, but he hits hard, is active, showed in his last fight he can still hang even with young and hungry killers, and has hopefully learned from his mistakes from his last two title fights. He has a chance. Slight, but it's there. Stipe when he was 34 would've won this any day, but the man is 42 and by the time this fight actually happens won't have fought for 4-5 years, having lost his last fight by KO, which mostly happened due to being vastly underweight because of a torn retina from DC's eye pokes. Stipe is way past it. He's old and plagued by issues induced by injuries. He also just doesn't seem to want it anymore, and no one can blame him. He's the heavyweight GOAT, and he's happily retired.

mE TOO! I don't care what anybody says but Stipe is so fecking BORING!

Jones is a well known crybabyv

It shows that you scared that Jon Jones is gonna beat on your favourite fighter Alex Pereira

He is getting people to talk about it. It’s smart

I understand you may be new to UFC and are just spitting the same words you heard from someone.. but Jon is fighting for legacy. And most of it has been what you said.. 1st he was ducking Chael then he was ducking Dominique now he is ducking Tom lol.. Tom ain’t fight no one worthy of what y’all are saying 😆 I say if he can fight and beat Gane then Jon will fight him

@@calebs5257 yeah he's going to sniff crotches as he usually does

Yup. He needs to go, hes been the worst champion in ufc history

Tom aspinall isn’t the same level of wrestler as Jon jones. Just stop

cough cough daniel cormier

​@@DerrelTheRealthen why doesn't Jon take the fight? 🤣🤣🤣 Jon is legit terrified

Yeah you're right. Tom's is proven at heavyweight, jons isnt

The least it represents is that you're the No1 contender and that alone makes him next in line. Apart from that we all can see from the way Aspinall has dispatched of everyone he's faced, apart from when he got injured, he's the next man up for the title, if that interim means nothing.

​@REVRAC74 I mean you can be ranked no.1 and that would still mean you're the no.1 contender.... interim belts are meaningless unless the champ is fighting the interim champ

It really is pathetic, he's actually going to have to be the first person in UFC history to defend an interim title just because the UFC are bending over backwards to suck jones off and make a fight that no one cares about be for a title.

It was funny

Gotta be a babe for Dana to react like that. If she’s a 2…like yeah cattle always get branded

Following

Prob the same chick that was on Bisping pod talking about getting branded

ASAP, that's a wild gal right there.

Not surprising. It’s a no contest. Tom will deck, down and double him up first round.

Bro JonJones been fighting the best. He deserved to pick the money fights now he's getting older and he's trying to get money.

Was looking for this comment haha

Well when the media is hand picked. Dana doesn’t like to answer tough questions

It’s all been intentionally set up that way by the ufc u don’t come back if u hard ball them

Thank you. I’ve been saying this too. Someone had to give Jones his first title shot. The people saying Tom hasn’t earned it are brain dead.

​@@CoNiCuZnJones fans are brain dead (or gay for him, they want him to be the ONLY "champ" to literally duck his interim)

He beat a Kickboxer with no ground game to win the title, at heavyweight Jones is just a fatt wrestler with no hands being gifted favorable matchups. He also did not look good in his last 3 light heavyweight fights.

there was no champion !!!! casuals the belt was vacant

@@DeterminedFC because he waited for Francis to leave, and now he's ducking Aspinall, he only wants easy matchups. DEFEND OR VACATE

I'd rather watch paint dry.

I don't care if Jones fights Stipe so long as he retires or fights Aspinall soon after. Obviously if Stipe wins they would do a rematch which sucks

No. Jones sells out arenas.. Tom aspinall isn’t even known.

@@DerrelTheReal Your conflating the sport and the business. Allowing jones to not fight the rightful next contender and not stripping him is bringing the sport into disrepute. However, its also favouring the business side of it because realistically theyre gonna make more money this way.

"He is bringing the sport into disrepute." UFC is not a sport and its heavyweight/female divisions are unfunny jokes.

@@DerrelTheRealthank you. That was on point

@@callanc3925 if you know Jon jones then you would understand why no one is going to strip jones.. Jones has done so much for ufc and even remained loyal to ufc.. jones is on his LAST fight for retirement. Let the man pick who he wants to fight and have it be done and let him ride off to the sun set. Just appreciate what jones has brought to the UFC/MMA game. There will be no other like him. Aspinall has years of hard work if he wants to try to match jones stature.

@@JoeStill-un9gp Tom aspinall has 8 total ufc fights.. Jon jones has defended his belt 16 times.. Jon jones has defended his belt more times than aspinall has ever fought in his career. That right there alone tells you why aspinall is not known…

How did he diss Aspinal, what are you talking about?

Funny. I liked all the roid fights. Spyder Silva juiced up was unreal he literally flew around the ring . Gsp was so juiced his ears had biceps . Bring back juice to ufc

@@godbyone I think roids water sports down. If they were legal it would become a roid competition. Jones has the testosterone levels of a pregnant woman because of his roid use. Not everyone wants to jack their hormones up to compete with juice heads. Juicing ruined a lot of the grappling scene too. Nothing more boring than watching two body builders stall and roll on the ground.

Stipe spent 3 years crying about Francis refusing contender fights like a man entitled brat & begging for an undeserved title shot, he definitely takes equal blame. If stipe really wanted his Francis rematch or his Jones title shot sooner he could have accepted Blaydes ringside callout instead of pretending like he couldn’t hear him & ducking, a win over Blaydes would actually give a reason to be hyped about Stipe but instead he whines like a girl while enjoying a 3 year vacation. Giving stipe a title shot is like giving a child throwing a temper tantrum for 3 years free candy as reward

@@itsreihart9865 It's this simple--Stipe should retire. He passed the torch to Francis. However blaming him is delusional. This fight is only a thing because Jones won't fight anyone else, just like the rest of his career he is running from anyone his size that has legitimate knock out victories.

Eh...that remains to be seen. Jan is a great grappler and Alex defended well and got back up. Glover is a really good grappler and trainer. Glover helped train Liddell for years and sparred with Liddell. Alex is a hard worker and keeps improving. This will be the very best striker Jones has ever faced and a striker who can sleep him.

@@comixof2morrow Jan isn't a great grappler at all. He's average.

Jon smokes every single person on the roster right now. There is nobody that’s gonna beat him.

They aren't rewarding stipe. They're rewarding Jones and using stipes health to wrestle the mantle completely from greatest HW. So from now on we get to hear "Jones bear hw goat stipe by stoppage first round "

They'll get rid of reporters that do that. Got to stay in line😂 I agree though, absolutely trash sports journalism

If you press Dana on Jones vs Aspinall if he says Jones vs Stipe is next that's what is going to happen. No matter the amount of pressing will change Dana's mind.

a "striker" with no knock out power

Some people don't show up until the last 2-3 fights. Every card is like that

Truth

No, even putting the interim belt to one side, he's the fucking No1 contender and that puts him next in line, apart from that just by watching the dude yocan see he's a dangerous dude everywhere the fight goes, he can KO any HW and Grapple any HW.

You can’t name a single fight stipe won in the last 3 years. THAT is why he is not deserving.

@@darkervoid1905 Not his fault DC held him up then Francis ducked the rematch. And if you were honest and not a troll you'd admitt if he had taken a fight and beat ciryl gane, or curtis blaydes you would still be against him cause it wasn't this month's fighter. Internet people all get caught in a hive mind and you'll make excuses but in reality Stipe's resume is more deserving than Tom's. You guys are the same ones who would be non stop about gane if Jones had beat Aspinall instead. Saying Gane is the one blah blah..

@@KAJlogic Idk wtf you just said but let me break it down for you. Title shots aren’t earned off of title reigns 3 years ago. Tom Aspinall has been on a very good winning streak bar a fluke injury loss, and has won an interim championship. If stipe miocic wants a title shot, he should fight real contenders like Tom did. Stipe Miocic was given an immediate rematch after the first DC loss, and you expected him to get another one after a one sided loss to ngannou? Doesn’t make any sense. Bottom line is, Tom Aspinall is the only guy in the heavyweight division worth a title shot, and every other fight besides him would be a cherrypick. If you disagree with this, then you are just biased and not worth discussing with (ironically you called me a troll when you are the one with the troll take).
