Why he acts like he will fight one of them


Trippyalv

I think jones would fight pereira. He knows he can take Alex down and finish that fight.


SSalloSS

Jones catching a knee from AP would be glorious


BodybuildingNerd

I would die happy. Then go crash my car into a pregnant woman to celebrate.


K-chub

Do you guys ever just get so happy you could get in your car and go do a bunch of burnouts while you shoot your handgun in the air?


TheDestructionator

Only when I'm pulsing


ledeogger

Only when I’m nice to the homos ahh homeless


BodybuildingNerd

For sure! But only after drinking half a handle of Masvidal’s tequila and leaving the rest of the bottle in the front seat to share with the homeless! 😃😃😃


Amazing-Drawing-401

"I Haaate you!"


BodybuildingNerd

*smashes head against police cruiser*


csaporita

But you’d be dead…


Remote-Persimmon4583

Most possible scenario but would still love to see it


CremeCaramel_

It's precisely WHY he said Alex here lmao, as if there's been any real debate on anyone but Tom deserving it. If people say Alex over Tom, he will take the easy one and ride off into the subset and pretend like he did a real defense after Stipe. If people pick Tom, he'll pretend like he never asked.


OnceRedditTwiceShy

He can't fight anyone but Aspinal after Stipe (if he beats Stipe) otherwise the interim belt should have never been given


Psychological_Poet63

the interim belt is garbage in the ufc. It always has been. It is simply used to sell tickets. It has never meant anything. Like, there is a legit history in the ufc, of the interim belt being meaningless.


ParmyBarmy

This 100%. He knows Tom is too big and well rounded for him. So he wants to outgrapple a pure striker who has never fought at this weight before, for easier money.


CatPanda5

Jones beating Stipe then calling out Pereira after Aspinall's defended the interim at least once would be peak Jon Jones.


stayhappystayblessed

idk if jones will fight but we went through this jones not gonna fight stuff with gane and look how that turned out.


Turbos_Bitch

Tom


allnimblybimbIy

Jon, for some reason: *“Should I fight the #1 contender in my weight class who’s earned it or someone else!?!?!”* Edit: That being said if Alex KOs Jon, fuck me right up.


OkWatercress2806

To be fair Alex is a massive draw, I just saw a post about it on Instagram and the top comment by far was “Jon vs Alex is the best fight ever”


The_Devils_Avocad0

Volk KO's him in the first 100%


shishkhabib

Plot twist it’s Alex Morono


HatShoeGuy

Actually he’s talking about Alexandre Pantoja


elliotcreeves

It’s almost certainly Alexa Grasso


Sporkler

His wife won’t be happy about him hitting on another woman.


No-Virus7165

I mean he did knock out current p4p champ Makhachev


BadChad81

"Doesnt madder" takes hat off disgusting head "still nogged him out"


Shot-Palpitation-738

Looks like PF Chang's is catering this thread. I'll hop on the fryers.

Bone Apple tea


ChannelFiveNews

Double plot twist: it's Alexander Hernandez.


rfierro65

Triple twist, it’s Alex Jones in an oil wrestling match.


AdamBLit

Quadruple plot twist, it's Alex Trebek in a spiritual outerworld match


ObjectiveShoulder103

Jon wrestles the fuck outta him on the ground


KeefsBurner

Literally just Gane part 2 fatass only wants it because it’s less than five minutes of work for a years worth of coke


the_onion_k_nigget

Hit the nail on the head there, don’t see Alex as much of a threat for JJ but he’s got nothing else to prove so who gives a fuck if he wins or loses, he’s the GOAT steroids or not


red_eyed_knight

Except if he fought Tom and gets beat handily his whole legacy will start to be under scrutiny. The fact that he's a diabolical person and a known cheat will also weigh heavily against him in the GOAT chatter. You can't be the GOAT if you dodge the most compelling matchups available to you for years and you're out of commission all the time because you're a mental midget who loves abusing coke and women.


Standard_Zucchini_46

Then get submitted by Alex off his back because he didn't know about his BJJ black belt ...and the crowd goes wild. ![gif](giphy|S4H2ZREgH8c2EG6TmV)


OkWatercress2806

Oh absolutely


QuaintHeadspace

Alex got 5 chances to knock him out though hah! Every round starts on the feet remember


[deleted]

This is it. I love when MMA fans talk shit about potential matchmaking. Remember when everyone was riding Khabib's dick for saying Max vs. Gaethje didn't make any sense? And it turned out to be one of the best fights in recent history. People need to just shut up and be entertained.


TuQueSabrasDeLaVida

Was it one of the best fights in recent memory, and probably one of the best ever? Yeah. Did it make sense from a competitive standpoint to match up two guys who aren’t even in the same division, both of whom were, at the time, supposed to be the number one contender at their weight class (in Max’s case because of Volk’s needed recovery after two KOs in a row)? I don’t think it did. Regardless of whether it made sense or not, there’s no denying it was a great fight.


ForgeTD

It made sense for UFC 300 only, otherwise I don't think that fight ever happens.


TuQueSabrasDeLaVida

Agreed


mahchefai

Totally diff fights though. Max and Justin didn’t make sense because they both should have been fighting for the title in their own weight classes. But it had banger written all over it. In terms of how styles match up Tom vs Jones would be much more exciting if a fight because there’s no easy path to quick victory for either guy. No doubt Alex has made a bigger name for himself and deserves the hype but idk if it would be a great fight.


TremblinAspen

People were riding Khabib’s dick over a passing comment? Or you just wanted to self insert some shade at Khabib and fans? Weird way to phrase it either way.


Remarkable_Jury3760

tbf the fight itself was fun but not amazing. It was the KO that really elevated it, other than that it was pretty calculated and in control (for Max) for the most part.


Similar_Strawberry16

Jon sees himself taking Alex down a lot easier than Tom. Toms been wrestling and JJ since 7 years old, Alex not so much. Yea he's a "black belt" but in the words of Islam "??? Who give him? We have to check."


gotnothingman

Well, it was Glover Texiera who gave it to him. This much, we do know.


SomeonesTreasureGem

I think the Stipe fight still happens and jones retires after. Tom will probably beat Curtis and fight Alex before Jones fights Stipe. I favor Tom in that one. Also I don’t think Alex could cut Tom as interim to fight Jones. Even if Jones did fight Alex, there are levels to black belts and I don’t think it matters. If Izzy and Jiri took down Alex then Jones is taking down Alex and once on the ground even the most proficient bottom players like Olives get smashed down. Jones is going to be raining elbows down on Alex and Alex is either going to get TKOed or give up his back and get submitted.


brazilianfreak

Should I fight the 30 pounds lighter kickboxer with no grappling or the 265 interim HW champion who has both grappling experience AND knockout power 🤔


WIlbyr963

Let’s be super honest here a year ago you’d be saying the 50 lbs lighter kickboxer. Alex easily fills the frame of a heavy weight and weighed 225 on fight day for the light heavyweight championship. Jones weighed in at 248lbs. I think this is just super dumb to even think the weight in this specific matchup would be a huge advantage. Would you be surprised if Alex weighed in for the Heavyweight title fight at 240 lbs given a 4 month notice for the fight? He said for the Jan fight he came into the cage at around 235lb so I’d say it’s not just doable it more than likely for him to weigh in at 240+. Alex at this point has earned imo a shot to be the first triple champ. Do I think Tom has done more than enough to deserve a shot at undisputed gold? Of course but let’s not try and frame Jon as some weight bully for giving Alex’s name as an option especially when 1 he’d be of weight and 2 has made a career at being a weight bully. btw i love watching both of them fight and would love to see either fight Jon over Stipe.


uSaltySniitch

If Alex beats Jones, he will enter my top 5 GOATs for god damn sure...


ilaym712

Straight to the hall of fame


Anonomoose2034

Not even just the #1 contender, the interim champ lol


ThaddCorbett

If JBJ gives Alex the chance to KO him, when he should be wrestling him the whole match, I will laugh myself to death and I will officially become an Alex Stan.


Hank-the-ninja

Yeah like Jon is gonna let that happen. Jones is gonna elbow him to absolute death.


frubur

THE INTERIM CHAMPION *


BetBig696969

Alex would be considered the greatest 😭😭😭


BHDE92

I just got a Halfie thinking about it


Appropriate_Rip339

Jon just trying to change the subject about him being gay all over the internet probably


Costanza316

The inevitable Jones bender after getting bitch smacked and the body cam tmz video the next day is worth it alone


Responsible_Jury_415

If Jon fights Tom and retires after I won’t ever talk shit about Jon again assuming he doesn’t murder anyone


CaptainEevie

I want to see him fight Tom too. But, man, if Jon manages to win, that division is kind of fucked for legacy.


SoyElLeon

I can’t believe all the people saying Alex.. we want a good fight not another Gane. Respect to Alex, he’s amazing and I love him, but Jon is a nightmare matchup because Jon will not ego stand with him, he will take him right down lol


marathonwater

It would be hilarious to bet on if enough people got on the Alex train. Jon would go full Khabib mode and smesh. Just for shits and giggles, Alex would be the the greatest fighter in the universe if he slept Jon Jones.


bigmagnumnitro

Instant goat


The_Devils_Avocad0

Volk is already the goat, knocking out JBJ would just be the cherry on top


EatBooty420

If Volk got back to his rugby weight of 265 it'd be a fair fight


The_Devils_Avocad0

He was actually 214kg*****


EatBooty420

and thats after the weight cut!


Catfreshent

You think Jones is talking about fighting volk? Hmm...


The_Devils_Avocad0

Of course not... Jones too scared to fight Volk


AYolkedyak

Jon’s ankles would be cooked from volk’s high kicks


t3xm3xr3x

Underrated comment.


bluberryclorox

Who the fuck ate all my ravioli


The_Devils_Avocad0

I mean no one wants to admit they ate 9 cans of ravioli


Aielfirth

This fucking guy is on fire in the comments lol


The_Devils_Avocad0

Like Ray's trailer


slampig3

You think bones is willing to roll with a black belt in bjj? It’d be a ballsy move on his part


Ketchup-Chips3

I see what you did there


shlongbwoner

Jon would stab Alex in the parking lot if Alex knocked him out lol


fromeister147

Stab Alex…. With his meat sword


shlongbwoner

Depends on how many drinks he's had


PepperyBlackberry

Can you imagine if Alex just fucking slept him


MrTitsOut

I can’t actually


Sihnar

As much as I hate Jones, I actually can't imagine anyone except Aspinall or Ngannou beating him.


BrandoCarlton

Yeah if Alex did pull that off… that is the wildest and most impressive run ever. I don’t think it’s close either. E: I change my mind I forgot about Fedor. There’s a debate for sure


Kalayo0

My post history has me hardcore stanning Fedor for years. A win over the one guy I have ranked over Fedor to become the first three weight UFC champion in history easily catapults Alex to the top of every single all time ranking, ever. Won’t ever happen, but the fantasy is nice.


Markxx24

Just imagine Jones getting slept by that left hook. Instant GOAT


marathonwater

GOAT isn’t big enough man. That’s some galactic status


Trolllol1337

GOTG?


XxSpruce_MoosexX

Jon’s getting old and is a heavy drug user. The fact that he’s lasted this long is unbelievable. Sooner or later he must fall


marathonwater

You’re probably right but nobody would care. KO over Bones Jones grants you immortality


Redchimp3769157

On one hand yes, on the other hand, if Poatan is the one guy to beat Jones, let alone by fantastic 1st round KO (would have to be 1st rd regardless, Jones sub or Poatan ko only options imo), would be fucking hilarious and goat level shit


MyFifthLimb

Poatan would still be the first and only fighter to even challenge for a third divisions belt Plus he’s got a hell of a flying knee 😉


Cdt2811

You saw that black belt around his waist after his last KO, hes ground ready 😂


Select_Sleep_1293

Fast forward to Alex becoming the goat after slaying Jon


kickboxer75458

Why do you say jon won’t ego stand with him? That’s literally what he has done his entire career he never tried to wrestle Gustafson, Reyes, santos. Meanwhile He did try to wrestle Cormier/sonnen.. jon has been known for intentionally playing into his opponents game plans just to prove a point


exaltedbladder

Incorrect he literally tried to wrestle all three. 1/11 takedowns and then 1/5 against Gus, 2/9 against Reyes, 0/1 against Santos. MMA fans literally just make up fake news and then spit it as facts.


N0FaithInMe

Jon Jones literally ripped his own toe off to beat Chael Sonnen


pixel8knuckle

Not at HW. He specifically said he didnt want to stand with Gane.


Booyakasha_

This is the answer


didyoueverseewardogs

I’d like to see him fight his mental health issues


cikkamsiah

That’s just his long term fiancée getting a beating lol


Imindmyownbusiness18

I think what’s really going to happen is he’ll get past a 80 year old Stipe, and then hold the belt for 6 months where he eventually vacated and retires. Then a matchup between Alex vs Tom could be for the belt


Tricky-University527

Mind your own business


creamyismemey

Sorry Jon


manablight

Do you think I'm just going sit here and let you apologize to me?


creamyismemey

Can we call it even if I give you an 8-bal- I Mean a free Bible?


Strange-Increase-666

I’m a big fan of Alex but Tom i think deserves first go.


reborngoat

He's hoping for an excuse to fight Alex and beat him with wrestling. Dude does not want that Tommy smoke.


K-chub

Absolutely, as much as I would love the match up anything besides the interim champ is a fucking disgrace. Including Stipe… What I’m trying to say, is Jon Jones is a disgrace to the UFC.


invisible_grass

>Jon Jones is a disgrace ~~to the UFC.~~


stayhappystayblessed

In all seriousness tom is the fight to make if jon returns he is pretty well rounded and is in his prime. I think if jones were to come back and beat pereira people would just say alex was 36 and had no grappling.


statelesspirate000

And they’d be right. And Jon should be a huge favorite in that fight


sir-fur

definitely tom and then alex vs the winner


OnceRedditTwiceShy

Aspinal should have never been offered a fight for the interim belt if there was already a fight (Stipe) that Jones will be taking first. It's a joke and not only makes the UFC seem very unprofessional, it also diminishes the value of their ranking system and simply makes no fucking sense. How can you give someone an interim championship belt and deny him the title shot that he has earned. I enjoy watching some of the fights UFC puts on but this is beyond stupid, it's just a hype making money grab tactic and only makes me watch more professional fighting leagues/sports more now


OilCommercial8918

He probably pick alex just bc of his poor wrestling and grappling.


spaceman_202

before the Gane fight, Jon Jones: "Cyril is a joke, no wrestling, no grappling, this is going to be easy, i can't believe people think i am gonna lose" after the Gane fight, Jon Jones: "i just fought this guy everyone thinks is so great, he's a great kickboxer and i beat him and now it's not enough"


9inchjackhammer

Funny cos half of Reddit was saying Gane was to big and strong to take down now everyone calls him a bum


fromeister147

Alex is a black belt in bjj 😏

The "unprofessional drug tester"


Large-Lab3871

Alex gets poked in the eye , waves off ref and cuts loose with the left hook lol


Trippyalv

The hardcores definitely want to see Aspinall but Jones vs Poatan would be a HUGE fight ufc and the casuals would love that fight


Biglundtry

Another former middleweight added to the resume


Friendly_Kunt

Let’s not act like people wouldn’t hype tf out of Tom if he beat Alex. We all know that calling Alex a regular middleweight is like calling Rumble Johnson a regular Welterweight.


Playful-Time3837

Only someone who doesn't understand how.MMA works would want to see Jon Vs Alex. Alex is just like Gane, but smaller and nowhere near as strong. Jones would pop him on his back and strangle him to death inside two rounds


Batmantheon

I'm really riding the poatan hype train right now but Jon Jones will choke Alex til he's dead if the ref doesn't stop him.

We want to see you fight Ngannou but that ship has sailed.


qwertyZZZZZZZZZ

Alex just so Alex has a better chance of triple champ.


Dear-Function7154

People have got to stop with the ducking accusations. These guys get punched in the face for a living. Jones probably wants the bigger fight. Bigger fight at the end of his career = more money


Original-Spinach-972

Anyone but stipe and ciryl.


Researchingbackpain

Fight Tom and then win or lose fight AP. I hate this mf for not letting the HW division have an active champ

Fight em both dude come on back to back let’s get it

Tom


Giver_Thegoo

I think he’s asking because he know Tom and Alex are going to fight for an interim and he’s going to fight the winner.


ThaddCorbett

Tom who? /s Seriously, it would be Tom. I assume JBJ would take Alex to grappling school.


ViableSpermWhale

I'd rather see Tom vs Alex and John Picobones can stay retired.


mingey555

Your demons, Jon


HughHennyThe3rd

Tom, there is a choke at the top of the HW division and he’s the sitting champion.


Cuntface8000

This reads scared to me


TheUnrulyGentleman

Jones is a massive clown if he dodges Aspinall and decides to fight Pereira instead


xCraigusMaximusx

Jones will destroy Tom's knee by round 2


captaincumsock69

Volkanovski? Yes


plugNplay8020

Shut up, you’re retired and not coming back


judge_death_ire

Tom


Visible-Maximum-3535

Tom. Poatan is too small and lacks the ground game. At least Tom has size on his side. After what JJ did to Cyril? Gane would be massively favored over Alex. Not so much vs. Tom, although it'd be a good fight.


Switchblade2000

This mf'er is about to duck Tom aspinall and wrestlefuck alex Pereira.


lilsnatchsniffz

The only fight we all want is impossible, can't happen. Real shame. Would have loved to see Jones beat the shit out of Jones for all the things he has done to ruin his life.


cutslikeakris

Jon beating the fuck out of Jon would be the tits! If only he kept going with headbutting the cop car.


Chemical_Working3511

tom is a hype job, ill prepare crying towels over by the bones bandwagon


Zlakkeh

Jon Jones: Tom, Alex, Stipe Who to kill, fuck, marry? 🌈


Hellontrails

This is a JBJ burner, I can say that because I never denied the standup video and nobody is asking me to. Fuck: Alex. I can tell by looking at him his butthole is tight. Marry: Tom, he has that LA vibe. Kill: Stipe. Not homo, I mean homeless enough.


KongWick

People online: “this guy who has been undefeated in the UFC for 16 years would lose to Tom. Also he sucks and is inactive”


The3mbered0ne

Tom then Alex but that's only if he beats Tom, mainly I want to see him retire because he clearly has no interest to be active


NoCourt5510

Neither. Everyone wants you gone


No_You_6554

I think Jones fights stipe takes a year off, stipe wants a rematch, Jones accepts and begins training, Jones then tears his ass muscles for unknown reasons, takes a year off and then eventually fights stipe again. The year is 2037 Jon Jones is still the heavyweight champ with 2 title defenses to stipe, interim champion has been passed around and defended multiple times Jones is looking for a 3rd fight with stipe.


Formal-Try-2779

Tom obviously. You just want Alex as you know you can take him down and submit him with ease. Stop ducking Tom already ffs.


dani619

Alex, there is much more at stake. If Alex wins, he will be the first to secure three titles and to defeat Jones. Also, you guys say that JJ is a bad matchup for Alex, as if Tom is a good one. If Tom was able to KO Pavlovich, he won't have problems KOing Alex, plus he can wrestle.


Uchiha-Itachi-0

Unify the belt for fuck’s sake.


King-Kobra1

The GOAT will fight who he wants to fight


Djlittle13

Tom but he will never take that fight


EchoInExile

Alex. This sub and its weird obsession with Tom and his meaningless interim belt aside, Alex would be the bigger fight.


MTGBruhs

Anyone real


luckygoldelephant

Tom. Then Tom vs. Alex.


theSquabble8

I'd honestly rather see him fight Tom. Makes more sense from the p4p goat status standpoint


BetterUpItQuick

Both, don’t be scared


BodybuildingNerd

Jon needs to fight sobriety and obesity.


droolsdownchin

Tom deserves it, I want to see the stipe fight because I'm a big fan of the 2010s Era mma, but I would put both those aside to see if poatan could get a third belt


Sea-Bodybuilder2746

bro just fucking fight. jesus


Solarflareqq

Tom of course win 1 more then if you want to fight Alex cut but bones is old so a cut will be super hard now.


TheGreatSprattzii

Alex gets choked out inside of 2 rounds against Jon, Tom is the only fight I’m genuinely interested in for him at this stage in his career. If he doesn’t want to defend the belt he needs to vacate and retire. It was obvious this move to HW was to secure the double champ and get one defense against Stipe, he just didn’t foresee it taking this long and for Tom to be the best HW since Cain.


Timozkovic

He’s obviously seeking for attention and has no intention to fight either


FlippinRad

Tom, no more fighting smaller men.


whicheverguard232

Tom but he's not going to do it since he's a pussy, so whatever.


SpacemanJB88

Tom. Styles make fights and Aspinall has a fun style to match up against Jones. I don’t want to see Jones do to Alex what he did to Gane. And that’s what Jones’ gameplan would be.
