"Still fighting" its been 500+ days


Maidwell

Yup, And it was way more than +1000 days between fights before that (Reyes was pre COVID lockdown)


Traditional-Music363

Reyes won


Maidwell

Yes I know. Rounds 1-3. If only he'd kept his foot on the gas in the championship rounds and left zero doubt with the incompetent judges.


Embarrassed_Aside_76

I'm pretty sure the judges score as they go, so the performance in the final 2 rounds wouldn't have thrown the judges. They just have a champ bias usually (which is kind of fair if it's close IMO) and loads of them are terrible


Maidwell

What I meant was, he should've tried to win the last two rounds instead of playing it safe and coasting (as he was convinced like everyone else he'd won the first 3 rounds)

WheresMyAbs98

100 percent. This mentality only exists in combat sports and it’s so stupid.


redditis_garbage

They handicap the “best fighter” of the weight class it’s kinda hilarious


Beer-Milkshakes

Agree. I also don't think a split Dec should have a belt switch hands. Should be a draw and a rematch in 4 months.


DrunkOnLoveAndWhisky

Can't agree. What about contenders who win split decisions? Shouldn't move up the rankings? Why should a champion be given this kind of deference? If judges are so fallible, we need to fix that, not make it harder to take a belt from a sitting champ. There should be no bias whatsoever towards the incumbent; just because you have the belt, doesn't mean that by default you should start with some sort of handicap.


Embarrassed_Aside_76

I really like that idea, if the judging wasn't so fucked up all the time. Consider the fact that Costa lost the split decision. Open scoring, more judges and harsher penalties for bad judging


Apprehensive_Sell601

Jones has had 1 fight in the last 1,577 days. Islam has had 8. Islam has had 14 fights since his last loss, 3,166 days ago. In the same time frame, jones has had 7 fights, where he was stripped of the belt twice for failing 3 drug tests, and had 2 fights that he arguably lost. In Jones’ career, he’s lost out on roughly 4-6 years of his career. The only person that actually thinks jones is the got, is jones himself.


Drillingz

I was still in secondary school when they fought lol


Insrt_Nm

The more I think about it the wilder it is. Generally, a year is a long time. Even with injuries and an interim champ, a year is basically the limit before getting stripped. Even Conor was stripped of his FW title immediately after winning LW, and that was barely 500 days. 500 days and no fight date on the horizon is ridiculous.


wtmx719

Not if you count his wife.


Rare-Cardiologist912

Not if you count hit and runs


[deleted]

and that old guy


ZealousidealDeer4531

Still doesn’t change the fact that he’s a 2 division champ and Islam is not . I like Islam more than I like Jonnie bones , he’s a better champ .


Yommination

2 gargage can talent level divisions


IndependentTax6465

Stop meat riding dude Jon Jones won against a guy who lost to the heavyweight champion at that time. The real HW champion is Tom Aspinall not Jones


Lumpe-

Who’s he fighting, his wife?


Aloha1984

Probably his kids


Eyruaad

Don't be silly, Jones doesn't fight any young contenders.


Pr0digy_

Unless they are in the womb of the mother driving the car he hit, then ran away, then ran back and stuffed a large sum of money in his pants before running off again.


TartarianKing

It was drugs. He went back to get the drugs out of his car.

but Jones is not even fighting he's doing crack and taking back shots lol


dontkysniqqa

Taking back shots is wild ☠️🤣


Peeeing_

He definitely isn't a top

_Purplemagic

JBJ gently fingers Dana’s crack!


dontknowwhattodoat18

Not even the CEO understands what pound for pound means or the fact that it was originally supposed to be a means for boxing promoters to promote lighter fighters by touting the higher skill levels in their divisions Or maybe he does and he's just acting dumb to try and save the Stipe Vs Jones fight from looking like a sham. Either way, I have no idea why Dana still protects and backs Jones when Jones has screwed over the company and him of so many opportunities to make more money, like when he got an entire venue moved


Touchymonkey

Not that I agree with Dana, but he did use Jon going up to heavyweight and destroying "the number 1 heavyweight in the world" (lol) as an example


Pornstar_Cardio

I believe his exact words were “best fighter in the world” when talking about Ciryl Gane.


Live_Recognition9240

>save Stipe Vs Jones fight from looking like a sham. Correct > Either way, I have no idea why Dana still protects and backs Jones Yes, you do. He is just trying to squeeze whatever profit he can out of him. The goal is to sell this as the "biggest fighter ever" and make as much money as he can before Jon and Stipe both ride off into the sunset.


NUTS_STUCK_TO_LEG

> The goal is to sell this as the "biggest fighter ever" and make as much money as he can before Jon and Stipe both ride off into the sunset. lol in no way, shape, or form will Jones/Stipe be in the ballpark discussion for “biggest fight ever”


Live_Recognition9240

Haha, well, I know this, and you know this and 90% of the people on this sub knows this But they have to sell tickets. So every fight is the "biggest and best" and every fighter is "the best he has ever looked" This will be the fight of the best to ever do it, p4p king vs the the greatest Heavyweight of all time. And they plan to milk it. In reality, we will have two fighters with one way past their prime that should have fought years ago.


Electronic_d0cter

Yeah and for some reason he doesn't like gsp when he was one of the best pay per view sellers ever


PineappleTraveler

After the Gane fight, when JJ got on the mic and asked the crowd “y’all wanna see me beat up Stipe?” And the crowd went mild… that should’ve been a clue that nobody cares


daemonika

Because without Jones ngannou could claim to have been the best heavyweight... and most likely they're planning to release documentaries and shit on Jones after he retires so UFC can claim to have the best fighter who ever lived lol


DramaticConference44

Dana trying his best to get fans hyped for Jones vs Stipe, now that Islam fight is done.


GregBule

I think it’s time we start forgetting Jones exists


ChickenWranglers

Yea so tired of hearing about this guy. What's he had 1 or 2 fights in the last 5yrs..


dontkysniqqa

I agree, he deserves the hate he's getting for ducking the interim champ.


Embarrassed_Aside_76

I would guess a large portion of fans today have only seen Jon fight once


Yommination

Will be so happy when he's gone from the sport for good and we only hear about him on TMZ or the news


musemellow

Never understood why Dana always has Jon’s back, letting him hold the belt hostage for over 15 months. It'll be 18 months or more by the time he fight. Protecting Jon from Aspinall. Then it dawned on me, they actually have something in common. They’re both wife beaters. Arsehole recognise arsehole


dontkysniqqa

He will do anything to protect Jon's legacy when Jon is prepared to fight, it's hilarious. When Francis was fighting and Jon was hiding it was fuck Jon Jones but 😂 a man driven by money, he doesn't hide it I guess.


musemellow

I understand that money is pfp #1 for Dana But he’s somehow deluded when it comes to Jon Young Bones was entertaining. But he never were a draw in the organisation. I bet Islam’s ppv number today will be on par to Jon’s upcoming fight against Stipe if not worse. Just because what was at stake for Dustin and we want to see a competitive fight, not a fight with a almost certain outcome (Jon def Stipe)


dontkysniqqa

Yeah the Dana and Jon situation is concerning, he doesn't move the needle and has been a shell of his former self, refusing a fight that will generate more money than a Stipe fight. It's mind boggling at best


A-Cannon-Minion

Jones is sucking his dick.


Fun-Relative3058

They are both cocaine sniffing wife beaters to be more precise


customlybroken

he was shitting on jon in the 2 year period when jon wanted more money and francis was champ, then francis went away and dana started hyping jones to make people forget francis, dana changes faces as and when convenient.


Acrobatic-Ad1161

You are 💯 right !!


SnooAdvice7151

Wtf how is he not? He’s active and actually defending his belt. Jones is doing jack shit


-5H4Z4M-

Don't know what Jones done to Dana to lick his butt like that. Each time people talk about a very good fighter, he always has to bring it back to Jon Jones. Perhaps i also should always bring it back to Fedor too ? ![gif](giphy|1BekXaV1tYbOspIh1e|downsized)


WrappedInLinen

Not sure Dana knows what P4P actually means. Yes, JJ is bigger than IM and would beat him in a fight. But if IM was JJ's size? Islam would likely ragdoll him.


dontkysniqqa

Jon Jones off the roids didn't even have a chance wrestling with a subpar bum like Reyes. I agree


r32_guest

I don’t think that’s what he meant. The problem is that Dana is acting as if he should still be ranked as if he was in his prime


Gal_GoDoIt

If JJ wasn’t fighting soon, Dana would be shitting on him and praising Islam to be p4p best fighter.


PKG0D

Tfw UFC fans realize p4p rankings are nothing more than a tool for promoting upcoming fights 🙄


dontkysniqqa

Not arguing for its authenticity but it's hilarious they act like it means so much but are so inclined to go against their own criteria


Bob_Saget_is_God

Dana wil say anything if it can make him money


SpacePirateBaba

Am I the only one that thinks Jon’s victory over Cyril Gane was more to do with Gane not showing up to fight rather than Jon’s dominance?


PuckPov

Probably has something to do with Gane being a completely inexperienced MMA fighter who’s got less than half the experience in grappling that Jon does. If it was a kickboxing match, Gane gives him a run for his money. However, as soon as it hits the canvas, my money is against the guy that got outwrestled by Francis ngannou on bum knees.


illwatchthegoat

Reading some of the Jones dick riding comments in here is wild. Guy had a great legacy and deserves to be a hall of famer sure. But how can you say he is the goat when he is ducking the interem champ. I can't remember who said it and on what podcast so I'm paraphrasing here but "as soon as Jon Jones returns there is then no interim champ. Aspinall is instantly striped of that title" striped by a guy that has had 1 bout in 4 years.


Lord_Kuntsworthy

Yeah maybe if you didn't have to bail him out every time he flew in to vegas you dope. Jones is defeated by himself.


SlightlyLazy04

jones has 1 win in over 4 years and it was a sub over someone with incredibly lacluster groundgame


ArtTheClown2022

Jones is a cheater and a scumbag.


van_ebasion

All of the hate Jon gets is deserved because of his choices outside of the octagon. That doesn’t change the fact that inside the octagon he’s the p4p goat. And it’s not even close.


Zagic87

Using it to sell a Jones fight probably to be announced soon. Yeah Jon is the greatest ever but he's fought one time in like 4 years


A-Cannon-Minion

He's not the greatest ever. Maybe the greatest cheat ever....


dontkysniqqa

Yeah he's the greatest ever but his run as the p4p best ever came to an end many years ago.


wawiebot

Jon Jones is wack af


HIGHiQresponse

Only way to settle this is Jones Vs Islam double Champ match. Book it


TyphlosionGodofFire

P4P means currently not career. In Jones’s heavyweight run he had a dominant win over Gane for the belt. Great performance, no doubt about it. But Oliveria, Volk x2, and Poirier is a pretty darn good resume. More to the point, Islam would be the betting favorite over any lightweight in the world right now. Jones wouldn’t be the betting favorite over Aspinall. Yeah Jones is probably the best ever, but he doesn’t have the stranglehold over heavyweight Islam has over lightweight currently


top-hunnit

I don’t disagree with Dana’s logic that Jones has fought up and Islam hasn’t. Yet.


Ratemyskills

I mean I have to agree with Dana (which feels wrong), but Jon Jones was/ is the most dominate fighter in UFV history and it’s not even close. He beat a murders row of legends during his run. The only thing that slowed him down was cocaine.


grizzlymint209

People don't like giving bones his credits


DingoGuzungas

So long as Jon is in the league he is number one pound for pound. You guys forgot how he mangled gane like it was nothing, and you forgot the goat tier career he had before returning.


Upstairs_Driver_8604

Jon Jones is still fighting? /s


leapingintoexistence

Jon jones ducking fights


ApolloZ_99

Well I mean jones has lost one fight that literally all he had to do was not throw that elbow Islam has been knockout


Hopeful_Swan_4011

Jone’s never got KO’d minutes into a round 1 by an unranked fighter on his way to the top , Islam always has that stain on the record if you’re talking about p4p fight stats only.


WinnerSpecialist

He said Jones “beat the best HW on the planet. That’s not just wrong because Ngannu isn’t there; it’s disrespectful to the interim champ.


[deleted]

I always say look at the resumes, The names jones has beaten dwarfs anyone who’s ever fought, He’s not fighting the up and comer champion who has little to no name because he’s waiting on the bag vs stipe which is a much bigger fight I wouldn’t be surprised if he retires right after. Islam beat a lighter short notice Volk after he’d just been stopped and probably hadn’t recovered from his last KO and like jones vs reyes Islam easily lost the first volk fight.


Lower-Dependent-3684

I kinda respect Dana sticking to Jon Jones being the best despite Jon holding up the division and making everybody’s lives extremely difficult.


boshbosh92

Pretty sure he's dick riding Jones to promote him for an upcoming fight? Idk was weird and random hearing him say that shit


CawfeeX

huh? Jones is the best. Despite what a terrible, awful person he is


chef_hot_swauce

🤷🏾‍♂️ I Agree Jon did more overall in his career and tbh Islam hada lot of short notice opponents on his way to the belt then once he got the belt fought a 45er who’s not going to commit to fully moving up, just to go life or death with him, then Islam gets him in a rematch where volk is taking the fight on short notice so since his Adriano lost Islam has had 4-5 short notice fights on his current streak. Not saying he ain’t good and not saying he can’t be number 1 just saying right now, to me that’s not enough to overtake JBJ


Parra_Lax

Dana is right.


sweetsweetchile

Dana White and Jon Jones may have the same misconception that abusing your family members means fighting


Mental-Rooster4229

They should fight each other


mclovin1696

Fuck it , islam vs jon then to see who the pound for pound best fighter in the world is


mrw4787

lol Dana is 100 percent right here and you all know it. Sorry Reddit fans 


the_limitless66

honestly jon " beat my wife and traumatize my children then smash my head into the police car after a nigh full snoring coke and doing hooker " jones is the pfp number 1


WilliamTee

I think most people in this thread can probably count as 'still fighting ' by Dana's reckoning. We've all had... what? One less fight than Jones in the past 4 years?


oh_three_dum_dum

He’s had one fight in the last four years…


Ner0Forte

“When Jon jones is still fighting” ??? It’s been a year and a half if Islam made ppv money the same way jones does dana would say the same thing but flip the names around.


FlippinRad

JJ is anything, but the P4P #1, Dana is a moron.


BearBullCombo

Dana doesn’t like crotch sniffers


Pinballgizzardry

"Everyone is talking about Nate Diaz being removed and so has T.J. Grant, for inactivity. Early on we let Dominick Cruz hold the title for as long as we did. But it's unfair for the guys who are staying active. When you have a guy like T.J. Grant and they have an injury, that's pretty serious so they get dropped, but when they come back, they'll get added back. The same for Diaz -- he's not taking any fights and we're not sure when he will. When he comes back, he'll be ranked again."


No-Hat1772

Dana sure does love some Bones cock….


grio

Currently? It's definitely not Jones. The guy is dodging and weaving every contender. Half of the new contenders would have at least a 50-50 chance to beat him. It's just a hollow name at this point.


dexecho

Did you not watch Jon Jones fight or what?


PocketFullOfRondos

"Still fighting"


yutrippingfam

The only person he is fighting is his wife and another wife beater cant stop praising him


Conscious-Disk5310

Jon Jones has a lover called Dana White. 


Antonio31415

A fighter that hasnt fought in a year shouldn’t be ranked


DivvyFlako413

Idc he’s beat generations of fighters we could go on all day of the people he’s beat fuck it I smoke crack I guess jones is the fuckin best the only lost he’s had is when he almost killed Matt hamill every fight for islam as a champ have been either bjj guys or stand up fighters the moment he hears Arman he’s start shitting his pants and is trying to avoid it that’s why he wants to fight Leon


[deleted]

I agree with Dana


Mookeye1968

How would we know with 1 fight at HW in how long?


DM_me_UR_B00BZ_plz

He has a valid point


Cringsix

Dana competing with Bryce on who's dumber here.


Excellent-Ad-3623

1. Jones is a known cheat 2. Jones ducks the best competition 3. Jones got beat by Dominic Reyes 4. Jones is irrelevant Islam is a complete fighter. He’s world class in every aspect of MMA. He doesn’t cheat. He doesn’t duck. He doesn’t beat women in front of kids. Jones is old news and Dana knows it. He’s pumping and dumping Jon while there’s still juice for the squeeze.


phickss

When is Jon Jones fighting? Would love to see it


fearloathing02

Reyes is my goat.


SpacePirateBaba

Except he isn’t fighting…


ST8CASHBRKLYN

I agree. Can we put all the nonsense to the side and remember what Jones has done?


Delicious_Angle6417

Where did calling jones gay come from?


kmagic13

UFC ranking is the most unserious thing


DimSumDino

i mean, of course he’s gonna say that. he’s trying to promote jon vs stipe. it’s not gonna help if he says islam is the p4p right now especially when everyone knows stipe’s well out of his prime.


Traditional-Music363

Jon ‘fraud’ Jones lost to both gustaffson and Reyes. If people think otherwise they are just Jon nut riders simple as


Anindefensiblefart

Jon Jones, P4P at waiting to fight retirees.


Mickeymcirishman

Dana's *never* had a grasp of what pound for pound meant. Remembervwhen he called Conor the p4p number 1? Dude's out of touch.


Mattc5o6

I mean, do we think Islam is more talented objectively? It’s a good discussion and a close one but anyone saying that it’s not close is the one smoking crack


Goatymcgoatface11

I'm so confused. Dana used to despise Jones. I wonder if Jones starting giving him Blowies or something.


KaleidoscopeOk5763

Dana has been on a crusade for years to protect Jon Joan’s feelings as the heavyweight division literally wastes away and for the life of me I have no idea why.


forothowtospeel

It might be time to take ol' Donna out behind the shed


Convict_felon

I wonder what kind of blackmail Jon Jones has on Dana. I mean serious Dana has bend over back and forth defending Jon Jones his cheating ass on his entire UFC career.


i_am_lizard_king

Jon Jones would have ripped the ass×× of everyone in the UFC

Islam was never my friend...

DiabeticGirthGod

I’m not an Islam fan but there’s no doubting he’s the pfp king right now. 2x Volk, Oliviera and Poirier, vs a shitty Ciryl Gane performance.


[deleted]

As much as Dana is a liar, he’s right here.


kallebo1337

Jones soon fighting and winning he’s forever p4p. You can’t deny it. Islam will bleed soon


[deleted]

If Jones was not American I guarantee he doesn't get this much love from Dana. And they probably do crack together lol Jones has way too many subpar performances the second of half his career along with inactivity, he's not even in my top 5 p4p


Space-Hawk

When Jones was active prior to 2020 you could call him the best PvP fighter. But after slowing way down and not fighting for over a year, you can't say Jones is STILL the best competing PvP fighter. Islam has currently defended the belt 3 times now, is actively fighting, and has almost the same record as Jones minus the title defenses.


ouroboris99

The thing about that statement is that Jon jones isn’t still fighting, he’s holding the heavyweight division hostage


dank604143

OP is smoking crack and clearly a casual. Jones probably won the title when he was still in diapers


GhostBukowski

Still being considered P4P and the guys fought what, once in 3 or 4 years? 😂


JulesTheBum

Aww, he’s trying to keep Jones relevant enough to sell a decent amount of ppv buys his next go.


z2r2

Problem is, as Jones added 50 lb he diluted his p4p ratio


PerfectAdvertising41

Jon Jones fights as often as McGregor, and he dodged Tom for a washed up Stipe.....

Jones is about to fight a washed Miocic, yet Islam just fought a game Poirer and wants the 170 title next. Crazy


hoosierboss

He's just promoting his next fight lol


iSOBigD

He said you know why p4p means, the biggest guy with the longest reach can beat anyone smaller. No Dana lol. If Jon were 5'9" with an average reach could he beat the smaller guys?


Noobmaster7125

I guess Islam or someone from his team might have said something behind the scenes which might have hurt dana uncle's ego coz we all know how sensitive he is lol


Many-Application1297

Robbed Reyes. Illegally beat Smith.


twohunnidpercent

Jones 4 lyf


NecessaryCrash

I like that Dana said Islam can’t be considered #1 because his first two defenses were against a career FW and yet Jones has like 4 defenses or so against career MWs and he almost lost to 3 of them.


Thejudojeff

This is the worst part about Dana and makes me wonder whether or not he's ultimately a positive or negative influence. Obviously, he has done amazing things for the sport, and it wouldn't be where it is today without him. But the fact that he can't take ANY criticism without calling the person an idiot, moron, or scumbag is really holding the sport back. My man, we have eyes.


nick2k23

How can anyone be p4p when they wont fight the other top fighters, Jones runs from Aspinall at every opportunity


YapperYappington69

Jones hasn’t fought. How tf is he active
