Speaker 3 (01:27):
Guys, it's late.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
It's Saturday, June twenty first, it's going to be midnight
on the East Coast, but I had to get with you,
and today's episode is brought to you by Total Wireless,
the official wireless provider of UFC. In your corner with
unlimited five G data that won't slow you down.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
Oh my goodness. John Jones just walked away.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
Dana White announced it after the UFC Fight night in
Bakuajabajahn said he is officially retired, and Tom Aspinall is
the UFC Heavyweight Champion. Unbelievable. I didn't think that it
was going to happen this fast. I mean, Jones didn
puts out of statement that said today I'm officially announcing
(02:08):
my retirement from the UFC. The decision comes after a
lot of reflection, and I want to take a moment
to express my deepest gratitude for the journey I've experienced
over the years, and boy, what a journey it has been.
But here's the deal, guys, and I'm gonna tell you
this right now. I said, if John Jones doesn't fight
this guy, John Jones quit. If John Jones does not
(02:31):
fight Tom Aspinall, he quit because he will walk away
from something that has defined his entire adult life. When
John Jones was a junior college national champion and he
couldn't go to Division one wrestling, and he chose to fight,
this is what saved him. When John Jones had multiple
(02:51):
run ins with the law outside of fighting, he came
back to fighting and it saved him. It allowed for
him to build.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
A great life.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
And honestly, I'm not mad that this young man has
a life with his family and they got money and
they got all these great they It does not change
the fact that by not stepping in that octagon, he quit.
He didn't want to fight Tom Aspinall. It's so surprising
is he scared, No, But by not fighting Aspanaul, he
(03:21):
owe a conversation.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
He lets you.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Every one of you questioned why he doesn't fight him.
I told you, guys, when you are thirty seven, thirty eight,
thirty nine, it's much different looking in the mirror than
you are at twenty eight to twenty nine years old,
like he was when he was fighting us. You're a
different human being, especially when you've lived a pretty hard
(03:46):
life or a life where you enjoy the spoils that
come would be in the World champion, and there are
a lot of things that come would be in the
World Champion.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
It's a matter of what.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
You choose to partake in. When John and I thought
the first time he was part taking in some stuff.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
So it seems as though he lived a.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Pretty fun life, and you got a young, hungry champion
that goes, I want to kick this dude's ass, especially
when you know you've got millions.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
Of dollars in the bank, you're doing very well.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
He's just about a brand new, beautiful home in Albuquerque.
But you know what it takes. You know what you
went through to beat me. You know what you went
through to beat step A. You know what you went
through to beat Gustavson. You know what it took to
get there, but you don't have that desire to do so.
So he walked away. He's had some hiccups over the
(04:41):
last month, and I've been judging him along the way.
It was talking about Chale and I, how we sit
on a podcast and we talk about him.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
He talked about how he.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Makes more money than both of us in a week.
He talked about fighting Francis and Ganhu, but he didn't
talk about fighting this guy because he never truly had
any fighting this guy.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
Tom Asvenaul was waiting. The UFC was waiting.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Everybody's waiting for a decision, when in reality, you're a
heavyweight champ, you're supposed to fight. You go out there
and you do the job. You go fight that dude
and you put him in his place. Because the reality
is a vast majority of the people that will watch
or we're going to watch, believe that John Jones was
going to beat Tom asvenaal me looking at the fight
(05:27):
and if I look at it objectively, Jojes is the favorite.
Does that mean Tom won't catch him? No, Steve Ay
was hitting it. Tom might be able to knock him out,
But you don't know, because as anyone in the octagon
or anyone that goes into the octagon, I will tell
you no one has done that better because inside that
(05:50):
eight sided fence.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
John Jones is a mother.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Excuse me my language, and Luis, you're gonna have to
beleeve that he is something else inside the eight size
of that octagon. He's fast, he's tough, he's durable, he's smart.
He does everything the right way in the octagon. So
it's hard for a guy that has spent forty minutes
in there with him to go, well, that dude's gonna
(06:15):
beat him, because when he beat me in Anaheim, I
was never better. I never trained harder. I was never
more committed to my diet, my nutrition, to my livelihood,
to my life. I never lived cleaner than I did
for that fight, and he beat me. That tells me
how special John Jones is. But does it change the
(06:36):
fact that him walking away right now when he's on
the older side and the guy that he's most to
fights on the younger side, Tom's thirty two, he's fresh.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
Tom hasn't taken any damage. John has been in wars.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
With those guys, with myself, with gustuson with Dominic Tom
has taken no damage to walk away right now opens
the door for people to start having the conversation about
does this affect the legacy, because I feel like many
decisions he made over the course of his last month
where he was hiccup and he was stumbling all over
(07:11):
the internet, and he was so present publicly. He was
in that pool with the Russians swimming getting dipped, looking
happier than he's ever looked in his entire life. He's
talking about how much money he's making. He's talking in
third person. All those hiccups. Ariel's judging him, Chall's judging him.
I'm judging him, Bisbang's judging him, Dimitriz Johnson's judging him,
(07:32):
Alex ind the Bolkanowski's judging him. The people that matter
to him are judging him. And it didn't matter all
those hiccups. He felt assured that he was doing the
right thing, but he wasn't.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
He's supposed to fight.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
You know, every great champion, from Muhammad Ali to George Pierre,
to Chuck Ladell to myself, they've all left the ladder down.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Very few people don't.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
Very few people leave without opening the door for that
next guy to get a chance.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
Kabib did it. He fought Justin Gachee. He fought Dustin Fourier.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
After McGregor his biggest paid per view and biggest payday
of all time, he dropped the ladder to the next
guy and said on the way out, I will give
another guy a chance to see if he gets a
plant meet.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
If he doesn't do it, I'm done. It happened.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Kabif did it, Demitriz Johnson did it with Henry Sai Hudo.
You give the guy a chance. You give the guy
a chance in wrestling. In basketball, I made the Michael
Jordan comparison to the Lakers. I made the Kobe Bryant
comparison Lebron James, all the great basketball players when the
(08:48):
Cowboys were the rivalry. They had to go through the
forty nine ers, when they were the dynasty in the nineties.
But you always gotta give that opportunity. Floyd Mayweather never
really gave that opportunity, but said, I'm going to protect
what I got, make a lot of money, and take
the fights when I want him where I want him.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
That's what John's doing.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
Doesn't want to fight Tom, and I honestly feel like
if Tom loses, he would come back. And that's crazy
to me because that's gonna only make it worse. Now,
outside of all that, we know, John Jones has a
history of things with the law, and today I find
(09:27):
out through people on the internet because even today they
still love to send me things about John Jones. That
John Jones has a pending thing in Albertquerque. Right now,
that's just sad because I watch Kevin Garnett talk about
basketball and start crying. It made me question, what does
this guy's life look like when he does not have this?
(09:49):
I felt when I was watching that that John Jones
is so tied to mixed martial arts. What does life
look like when it's gone and it will leave such
a void as it does for so many. I guess
this is what it said. There's a criminal complaint against
John Jones. It stated that an Albuquerque police officer was
(10:10):
investigating a traffic crash there's San Matteo and Lomus when
she came across a woman in the front passenger seat
of one of the cars, exhibiting signs of significant intoxication
and lacking clothing from the waist down. I got this
from the Albuquerque Journal, which was sent to me. The
woman reportedly said Jones was the driver, but fled the
scene on foot. She then called Jones, the complaint stated,
(10:33):
and the police and the Police Service Aide spoke to
the man on the other end of the call, believed
to be Jones. He appeared to be heavily intoxicated and
made statements implying his capacity to employ lethal force through
third parties due to the police, the psaight, the court
record stated, the PSA requested back up after what was
(10:53):
believed to be a threat when a police officer then
talked to Jones and said similar allusions to violence were made.
The man on the phone never answered direct questions about
whether he was Jones, the complaints data. When interviewed in
person a few days after the crash, Jones said the
woman found in the car had left his house earlier
in the day intoxicated and called him after getting in
a crash, at which time, Jones said the person she
(11:16):
handed the phone to immediately opened the conversation with a
professional language, which led to him doubting the legitimacy of
the individual's claim. The woman later told police she drank
alcohol and consumed mushroom at Jones's house and recalled needing
to change her clothes at his house, and her next
recollection was being at the scene of the crime, the
(11:37):
traffic accident. She said the last person she remember driving
her car was Jones. The court reco indicated. Police said
Jones called the woman's phone thirteen times from the time
of the crash until eleven thirty four am the following morning,
and that text messages from his phone were included, though
they could not be captured in called detailed records. The
(11:57):
police report indicated the crash happened February twenty first, but
also in one place stated an officer conducted follow up
interviews on January twenty fourth. It's unclear why the charge
against Jones wasn't filed until months after the incident. There's
no indication that the charges and the decision to retire
are connected. That's the whole statement from the Albuquerque Journal
(12:22):
that in January Jones had an issue. The saddest thing
about this to me is that it's not surprising. You know,
I've seen him do things over the course of his
career that have been very dangerous and very.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
It's just not smart.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
I hope that as he goes into the next phase
of his career, if it's over forever, he fills the
void with something positive. He's got some beautiful children, He's
got a longtime girlfriend. He needs to fill that time
with those people if he's going to be a to
come out on the other side of his career with
something else. Because even if you have a lot of money,
(13:06):
you can have money and still not have purpose. His
purposes in those beautiful kids of his. His purpose is
in that beautiful woman of his. That's his purpose. He
needs to find a way to lock in on that
and not all these other things. Because if I never
heard another story like that about John Jones, that would
not be soon enough.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
I don't want to hear that.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
I don't celebrate that. So when people send me the
article and goes, wow, trash this guy that, that doesn't
really make me happy. It makes me look at another
black athlete that is struggling. I hope this guy gets
it together. Man, beating Tom Aspnol would have further legitimized
(13:49):
his career. I don't know that he needs it. He
unbeaten in twenty UFC fights, won SIXTEENFC title fights.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
He's done it all.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
But what happened today opened a conversation for us to
question whether or not he ran away. I will go
to my grave believing he quit instead of fighting that guy.
I can also hope that this dude gets that other
stuff under control. I read you the entire article. I
didn't make nothing up. That was word foror verbatim. John
(14:20):
Jones gotta get this shit together.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
Man.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
We saw his brother struggle down the stretch when he's
playing football, and it made me sad to see. I
hope we don't go down the same path with this guy.
I normally wait in the morning, guys, but I needed
to get this out tonight. I'll have more on good Guy,
Bad Guy on Monday.
Speaker 3 (14:40):
But it's official.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
John Jones is done. I don't know if this is
tactics by the UFC. I don't know that this is
frustrations with John Jones. I don't know what this is.
Does it feel like the end completely? I hope it does,
because if he cares about his legacy, he doesn't want
to be sitting there beating up on guys that may
(15:03):
get past Tom aspinall, they gave him the money, they
agreeed to everything, and he still just would not do it. Ah,
I'm going to bed. I'm tired, like this is my
head's spinning. It was crazy when Dana said that, but
thank you guys for the support. I appreciate it. I
said I wasn't making any more John Jones videos and
(15:25):
then this happened. So I'm making another John Jones video. John,
get it together man. Until next time, guys like subscribe
and tell you friends of my YouTube channel.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
Peace

You give the guy a chance. You give the guy

whether he was Jones, the complaints data. When interviewed in
person a few days after the crash, Jones said the
woman found in the car had left his house earlier
in the day intoxicated and called him after getting in
a crash, at which time, Jones said the person she
(11:16):
handed the phone to immediately opened the conversation with a
professional language, which led to him doubting the legitimacy of
the individual's claim. The woman later told police she drank
alcohol and consumed mushroom at Jones's house and recalled needing
to change her clothes at his house, and her next
recollection was being at the scene of the crime, the
(11:37):
traffic accident. She said the last person she remember driving
her car was Jones. The court reco indicated. Police said
Jones called the woman's phone thirteen times from the time
of the crash until eleven thirty four am the following morning,
and that text messages from his phone were included, though
they could not be captured in called detailed records. The
(11:57):
police report indicated the crash happened February twenty first, but
also in one place stated an officer conducted follow up
interviews on January twenty fourth. It's unclear why the charge
against Jones wasn't filed until months after the incident. There's
no indication that the charges and the decision to retire
are connected. That's the whole statement from the Albuquerque Journal
(12:22):
that in January Jones had an issue. The saddest thing
about this to me is that it's not surprising. You know,
I've seen him do things over the course of his
career that have been very dangerous and very.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
It's just not smart.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
I hope that as he goes into the next phase
of his career, if it's over forever, he fills the
void with something positive. He's got some beautiful children, He's
got a longtime girlfriend. He needs to fill that time
with those people if he's going to be a to
come out on the other side of his career with
something else. Because even if you have a lot of money,
(13:06):
you can have money and still not have purpose. His
purposes in those beautiful kids of his. His purpose is
in that beautiful woman of his. That's his purpose. He
needs to find a way to lock in on that
and not all these other things. Because if I never
heard another story like that about John Jones, that would
not be soon enough.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
I don't want to hear that.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
I don't celebrate that. So when people send me the
article and goes, wow, trash this guy that, that doesn't
really make me happy. It makes me look at another
black athlete that is struggling. I hope this guy gets
it together. Man, beating Tom Aspnol would have further legitimized
(13:49):
his career. I don't know that he needs it. He
unbeaten in twenty UFC fights, won SIXTEENFC title fights.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
He's done it all.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
But what happened today opened a conversation for us to
question whether or not he ran away. I will go
to my grave believing he quit instead of fighting that guy.
I can also hope that this dude gets that other
stuff under control. I read you the entire article. I
didn't make nothing up. That was word foror verbatim. John
(14:20):
Jones gotta get this shit together.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
Man.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
We saw his brother struggle down the stretch when he's
playing football, and it made me sad to see. I
hope we don't go down the same path with this guy.
I normally wait in the morning, guys, but I needed
to get this out tonight. I'll have more on good Guy,
Bad Guy on Monday.
Speaker 3 (14:40):
But it's official.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
John Jones is done. I don't know if this is
tactics by the UFC. I don't know that this is
frustrations with John Jones. I don't know what this is.
Does it feel like the end completely? I hope it does,
because if he cares about his legacy, he doesn't want
to be sitting there beating up on guys that may
(15:03):
get past Tom aspinall, they gave him the money, they
agreeed to everything, and he still just would not do it. Ah,
I'm going to bed. I'm tired, like this is my
head's spinning. It was crazy when Dana said that, but
thank you guys for the support. I appreciate it. I
said I wasn't making any more John Jones videos and
(15:25):
then this happened. So I'm making another John Jones video. John,
get it together man. Until next time, guys like subscribe
and tell you friends of my YouTube channel.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
Peace
