Jones is ducking just off the reasons he gave why he didnt want to fight him. Hearing him have to address it over and over gave second hand embarrassment. Saying he is younger or he is bigger while wanting to be seen as the champ of that division is wild.
He def a legend and top 5 of the sport but ran thru the older pride era legends and got a couple controversial decisions with the new era guys. It fukked up our chances of seeing him and ngannou champ vs champ instead of bulking for years while calling out a smaller adesanya non stop and now alex periera.
He wanted the two division accolades without the risks. Gane never fought a wrestler and just got taken down and controlled by an injured ngannou who isnt a wrestler at all no wonder jones felt comfortable taking that fight for a vacated belt. Stipe had been put to sleep in his last fight and had been a firefighter exclusively for 3 years before the jones fight. Good match up style wise tho but with the injuries and time off kinda messed that one up.
This whole build up has made the fight bigger and i can see him winning the fight so this might end up working out for him with a higher purse, stakes being higher and one off fights being more palatable if he would just knock off a legit threat at hw first
