Will dfw cut jon jones if he...

Ever loses a fight dana sounded pretty pissed on the conference call... if that happened who else could afford to pay him to fight? His could have just committed career suicide Phone Post

No way he would ever be cut.

Even though it seems that the world is pissed at him, he remains an incredible fighter. Phone Post

As much as I can't stand Jones, this is just an asinine question.

doubleRistretto - Remember when Anderson Silva did nothing but dance against Cote and Maia? I do, but Dana seems to have forgotten about that.

Lol! Maybe you forget how handy has been since.

They cut marquart who was a top 5 easy at the time. He would cut Jones or handy if they got too difficult. Either that or just bench them and starve them out...

Don't think the fighters have that much clout. You need 2 fighter's to make a good fight.. ask Eddie alverez. Phone Post

LOL @ comparing Marquadt to Jones and Silva. When Marquadt got cut, he'd just dropped down for his first WW fight in the UFC and wasn't ranked in the division. He'd also been mocked by DW repeatedly in interviews for his inability to get over the hump at MW.

the Thales Leites fight was a pretty big let down too

I think we are seeing the beginning of a anti Jackson movement by the UFC, similar to the Militech and Bob Cook situations.

UFC has so much much clout here, Jackson should be very careful, some battles simply can not be won.

They can't cut Jones, he would go to a competitor like Bellator. They can't really discipline him either.

This is exactly why the UFC promotes the brand over the fighters these days... When one guy has enough power and influence to make or break an entire event, this sort of thing is bound to happen.

Enjoy all future cards being even more "watered down" than they have been. UFC's days of promoting new stars is OVER.

Doubt he would be cut....espcially being first UFC athlete to represent Nike on a Global Scale.



However DFW could make things difficult for him...

He can't really do that if he wants to keep the best fighters in. Jones won't exactly be unemployed and other ORG would get an huge boost.

ChokeEmOut - I wouldn't blink an eye if he cut him today. Good riddance!

LHW belt would be a worthless sham of a joke without JBJ.


Who would be the new BEST IN THE WOOOOORLD LHW champ ???


Machida ? Shogun ? Rashad ?





lol

Yea but he's expensive and would destroy their LHW / HW divisions so it would hurt them more than help them.

Sonnen would be a better buy than JJ for another org - highly competitive but beatable, will fight anyone, company man, not a prima-donna and most importantly headed the biggest PPV in history.

Not that Sonnen is going anywhere, just sayin Phone Post

That is ridiculous. One of them is in the discussion for top P4P fighter. You only need one p4p great to add interest to your organization.

There is no world where Chael is better than JBJ Phone Post

Dana's an emotional guy...once Jones saves another lady from being robbed, this whole thing will be forgotten.

But do you honestly think bellator or anybody for that matter could afford the "#1" lhw in the world? His ass would be unemployed for sure Phone Post

Not a chance, guy may be a tool but hes a p4p contender. No way Dana lets go of all that $$ and credibility. Phone Post

So in your scenario, instead of Jon Jones taking a money hit, and putting a promotion on the map, he sits at home twiddling his thumbs?

Business sense, how does it work? Phone Post
