There are zero threats at HW.
He’s only 35 in the division that old men are still competitive since there’s no competitiveness.
He signed an 8 fight contract. After beating Stipe, Pav and maybe Gane one more time, he could walk through the rest without even training. Easy money.
$$$$$$…negotiating tactic
I think he just likes fucking with us
I don’t think I’d be leaving when I don’t have to do any work and am being paid more than anyone else, AND get employee of the year for doing said fuck all.
Maybe he retires after Stipe or maybe he doesn’t. I think you’re right that he enjoys fucking with people about it.
i already had forgotten that he fought this year. if he retires i dont think much of anything changes.
He has been training for along time and I think he wants to go out on top. It would hurt his ego to go out with a loss. He figures beating Stipe which some call the heavyweight goat would be the perfect ending.
He’s weirdly obsessed with legacy so in his mind he’ll be the greatest ever heavyweight if he beats elderly stipe after dry skin subbing gane.
Who cares? The guy is half retired as it is.
He’s utterly terrified of Ngannou. “I’m going to need 30 million dollars” immediately after seeing Francis decapitate someone, after having talked mad shit up until moments before the decapitation.
Edit: So he’s cherry picking now. There’s a few guys he thought he could hang with. Those guys he’ll fight. But while Ngannou’s still around, it’s “sharks in the water”.
Jon wants money. And he should be paid.
I like Francis but I don’t think he would be much of a problem for Jon past the first round. If Francis does not blast him in under a round, then Jon wins this.
He’s going to pfl to fight real for fighters and get real money. I’m his agent now. It’s already a done deal.
Makes complete sense. HW is dead. Nobody who can bring money after Miocic. Why risk health and legacy for a few measly dollars?
Jones is a fucking idiot.
He’ll never retire because there’s nothing for him except fighting, and he doesn’t seem smart enough to invest or move onto the next thing. He’s really unlikable so it’s not like he’s going to do commentary or the fight management.
He’ll be fighting til 60.
I actually agree with this 100%. But fear and big-brothering are real things. I still have a younger relative that looks at me as being a 10 foot tall god, even though physically he should be able to destroy me by snapping his fingers. I’m just putting two and two together… Jon has bigger big brothers, plus the sudden swing in the shit talk. It just seems obvious to me.
Sergie is making him retire
Hes not retiring. Conor has retired what 4 times? Hes fucking with you all and getting some more $$$
Jones will beat Sergei even easier than Gane. And that was easy
What matters isn’t the fact that Stipe is so over the hill at this point.
It’s that low IQ retards like NDA will read the headlines and UFC mouthpiece soundbites and parrot their talking points abt how JJ is the greatest combat sports athlete bc of it. I mean, they’ll be right, but the reasoning and talking points surrounding it will be super gay and cringe.
Jones is the greatest combat sports athlete. Sad but true.
