UFC 309 On ESPN+ PPV [11/16 at 10 pm ET] “We Have A Responsibility To Greatness” (Jon Jones/Stipe Miocic, Chandler/Oliveira II)

[Sir ZDuke]

What Jones has figured out, belt is meaningless unless the person holding it matters.

Most can't tell you who has belts right now, no one cares. If Jones vacates the heavyweight belt, Aspinall fights some other bum to unify it, no one cares. It gets passed around, no one cares.

Stipe had the belt all those years, no one cared. Most can't even really tell you who he was fighting to keep it. Maybe DC and Francis they can tell you about...maybe.

Jones realizes he's the last of a dying breed and has all the leverage. We care because he's involved, otherwise, absolutely no one would care about what Tom Aspinall is doing.

Exactly. Once Jones leaves, Aspinall is back to defending that belt against cans like Tai Tuivasa and Derrick Lewis on UFC fight nights

 

[Rick Fox at UNC]

Speak for yourself crodie.

I personally would like to see the interim champ fight the champ since I want to see
The best fight the best. Unfortunately ufc is more wwe than not so that doesnt always happen.

You right for casuals tho and thats fine they the ones spending money on this shyt so Im not really mad at it

I don't believe you. If Jones wasn't involved you would not care.

Doesn't make you a casual fan, it just makes you a human with eyes. This shyt is boring without certain talent leading the division. Just a bunch of plodding guys throwing haymakers (obviously an oversimplification), no one wants to see it and it doesn't pop without guys like Lesnar or Jones.

It is what it is.

Bro what

Ive watched the last 5 or so fights aspinall was in why wouldnt I watch the next one?

 

[newarkhiphop]

problem is if Stipe had beat Jon, knocked him out let's, same dudes saying Jon beat old a firefighter would saying "jon got beat by a old ass man, he washed"

A fight is a fight, stipe is a pro, former champ who trained for this

It's all about the money

 

[O.Red]

Connor is never coming back these nikkas howling at the moon at this point

 

[O.Red]

Y'all didn't know Jon Jones was MAGA?

 

[THEREALBRAND]

The first comment on this video is wild.

The greatest to ever do it. Proud to be American and proud to be Christian. Great to see a true American patriot like Jon Jones supporting our President Trump! One Nation under GOD!

Jon is playing those simpletons like a harp from Hell

 

[QBN]

Brazilians seem to be doing a fantastic job marketing themselves and at the same time delivering exciting performances, but no matter how popular they get they will be limited by the language.

young English speaking fighters either talk but are boring as fukk in the cage or are exciting but not really into promos and marketing, and of course there are all the Conor wannabes like O'malley who doesn't really has charisma but its kind of faking it till I make it.

UFC is definitely in a transition phase as far as marketable stars.

The only newer guys that I really check for are Alex Pereira, Khamzat, and Shavkat (to see how long he can keep that perfect finish streak!).

But you're right; not a lot of English speaking or American fighters with crossover potential right now.

They were building O’Malley up to be the next American superstar, but he dropped the ball.

Topuria speaks really good English and he’s one or two more devastating KO wins away from reaching that next level of stardom. He’s already approaching being a superstar in Spain.

I don't know why they never did with Conor but UFC needs to head to Spain ASAP with Topuria headlining.

 

[Big Jo]

I’m trying to not be dramatic lol but I’m not sure I could take another ufc card that’s 3 hours of fighters drooling on trumps balls and the whole cabinet there. I’m assuming this was kind of one off bc they were at MSG and Trump just won. But if they make every ppv a maga rally I’m probably gonna take a break from watching

“Adin Ross is here!”
“This new fighter is fighting on the biggest stage of his career, especially with President Elect Trump here in attendance”
“Look, Jon Jones is doing the Trump dance!”

Like fukk off UFC

Good point, breh. Topuria is on the cusp of superstardom and I do look forward to his fights. The way he finished Max Holloway definitely put him on the map .

 

[u mad son?]

And man's are still gonna say trump is a racist and Hitler.

Look how triumphant he looks under the same roof with the Trump team. Instead u got bruddahs crying because a retarded Indian broad didn't run then for the next 4 years.

 

[u mad son?]

Let Trump hold his Championship belt

The cac fighters who shook Trumps hand all kept their head up and looked him in the eye like men.

But Jon hit Trump with the over-submissive, head down as far as it could go type of bow- almost like a reflex to gain approval, before being allowed to look him in the eye

And he made sure to deepthroat Elon too, as Trump snarls on with evil approval

You think someone like kamala deserves that level of respect?

This is a man that got slaughtered by media, assassins, the legal system and still ran and won again.

He deserves that respect. Imagine a real don like Bones showing that respect to a bytch no one voted in who showed up on "call me daddy" thinking it was enough to run the country
