Speaker 1 (01:56):
Guys, So, I have been talking about the whole heavyweight
situation because to me it's so intriguing, right because you
have a guy in Jones, who rightfully sits where he sits.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
I don't care. I don't care.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
How annoying it is that he is unwilling to fight
Tom aspinall. I don't really care about that. Honestly, I
would like to see them fight. But when you have
done the things that he's done, I don't think that
(02:36):
Jones owes it to anyone to play by their rules,
but in the honor of sport right, which is something
that Jones has really kind of lived up to over
the course of his career. It would be the right
thing to fight that young man who lows that belt.
(02:57):
But how can you say a fight between two guys
widely considered and the greatest of conversation of the fight
you don't want to see, and it seems like it's
gonna happen in New York City.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
You know.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
New York City is a place where when you fight there,
you can feel the magic. When you fight there for
a heavyweight championship, you can feel the magic. You can
feel the ghost of the Joe Frazier's and the Muhammad
al Le's, and the Sunny Listens and the so many
(03:34):
George Foreman's and so many great fighters that pass through
Madison Square Garden.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
I believe that.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
If you're going to do a heavyweight championship fight, you
do it there, and you do it with those two guys,
you know. I think that the frustration comes from Jones
telling people what he's going to do and be an
unwilling or yes to move or make adjustments or to
(04:13):
adjust you know, for a long time when we were
going through our stuff Jones and I, people spoke about
how they wish he would just be forward and forthright
and just tell him, hey, I'm a piece of shit.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
It is what it is. Deal with it.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Now, Jones is pretty much saying I'm going to do
I want to do regardless of what you feel, and
people don't like it. You can't have both sides of
the coin.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
You just can't.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
You can't tell him be your true self. Then when
he gives you his true self, you dislike it and
go back to I don't know if I like this guy.
Dude is the champion heavyweight champion of the world. They
put him in there with Cyril Gun and he beat him.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
He got it done.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
You know, when you are the man with the title
and the man with the accolades, you kind of make
the rules, especially in his situation. If you know one thing,
there's been a lot of concessions made for John Jones.
The only time those concessions are made is ultimately when
you are making money, and if you ain't making money,
(05:23):
you are not getting the concessions.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Made for you.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
You just kind of got to deal with all that
on your own Tom Aspernall, to his credit, takes the
next fight. You know, I was going on and on
about this cyri Gan thing, and I remember when Cyril
Goan fought in Paris, man it was perfect. He beat
(05:50):
tied to I Austin. The crowd was as hot as
you've ever seen a crowd. Tom Aspernall's there, tom Asvenav
still is at that point trying to find a way
into the conversation.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
So what do you do?
Speaker 1 (06:04):
You go to Cyril Gon, the guy that just fall
for the belt, was the interim champion, fall for the
heavyweight championship against Frances and Ghanho, And you say, I
want to fight him, and the best way to do
that is by being in an arena hoping that when
that guy wins, he has his moment because Cerol fought
tremendous on that fight night to get high, he calls
(06:25):
you into the octagon and you build a moment that
you can build a fight on. Syrol Gon know Selsan
Cyril doesn't even talk about him being there, so essentially
he's there for nothing because Cyril just does not pay
him any mind. I thought it was a mistake by
Cyril Gone. I thought because we don't know right. A
(06:47):
lot of times when we're talking to you, guys, we
are talking from a place of experience, but not really
in the details or unwilling to give all the details.
I thought that when Tom Aspernal didn't beat Sergey Pavlovich,
he gets an opportunity to fight someone.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
We don't know who that's going to be.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
It ultimately turns out to be Curtis Blades, but only
because you'd imagine it came back to bite cerrool Gan
in the ass. No, no, it did not come back
to bite serol Gan and the ass guys. I guess
cyril Gon was the first guy offered to fight. I
guess he was the first guy offered to fight, and
(07:33):
Tom said yes. But then Cero has a movie going
on right now, and because he's doing a movie, he
didn't want to go into fight camp.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Hell.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
I remember Michael Bisping being on a movie set. One
week later he's the world champion. I don't know that
you pass up these opportunities. But I don't know how
cyril Gon didn't recognize that. It's a very unique circumstance
because Tom Aspnau could have did to him what he
(08:07):
did to tom Aspernall.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
He could have, but.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
He said, nope, I'm gonna fight him. That tells me
who Tom Askenall is, right. That tells me who he is.
I don't I don't question this young man anymore. I
remember when Michael Bisbane made these huge, grand statements about
this young man when he was gonna fight Sergei Pavlovitch,
(08:33):
and I had seen Sergey Pavlovich just knocked everybody out,
no matter who he thought, he knocked him out. And
Michael Bisman was telling me and everybody else that would
listen that this guy was going to make this fight
look easy. And I said to myself, I said, wow,
Bisban is just talking because this is an Englishman, this
is one of his own people, and he wants to
(08:55):
support him. Come to find out, Michael Bisman was telling
you the god honest truth.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
He telling you the truth.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
Tom Aspinall made it look easy in that fight. But
then by saying okay to Cyril Gun too, it tells
me that he is not looking to not compete with anyone.
Hold out John Jones, who is considered by many the
greatest fighter of all time. He accepted the Cyril gun fight.
(09:22):
Who if we know anything about syrol Gun. He is
as good as any heavyweight we've seen in a long time.
He's got a lot of unique skills that make it
very difficult when you look at Tom Asperinau. Obviously Tom
shares a lot of those same skills.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
Said yes, and I.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
Think therein lies a bit of the problem before I
get into a little bit of the courtis Blaze Tom
aspinaut match, I think there lies the problem with most
He got one guy who's a longtime champion who is
now the current champion, saying I'm going to do what
(10:00):
whatever I want, when i want. On the other hand,
you got another guy, the young guy who is the
interim champion, that is saying whoever it's going to be,
it's going to be right. So now you got this divide.
And people who have seen John Jones go from being
(10:21):
the guy that took Rashad Evans place on short notice
to fight Shogun Hua to become the champion. John Jones,
who's the guy that fought each and every single killer
that came his way. The people that were there are reminded, wait,
he used to be like Tom aspinall, but now he's
(10:41):
not doing that. So you have this section of people going,
fight this guy right here, Tom, he's the best we
can recognize that. John's going, I'm fighting this guy over here.
He's forty two years old. He hasn't fought in four years.
That's where the divide comes in. That's why people are
so split and people are so pissed off.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Now.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Jones has a very, very committed fan base and they
will fight and defend him no matter what he does.
But for the first time, I feel like Moore are
kind of going, hey, man, the hell with this. There's
a young, hungry lion on that side waiting to fight you.
Why aren't you fighting him? I don't feel like he's
(11:24):
gonna be willing to do that. He ain't changing, and
I don't know that he needs to now. When talking
about the Curtis Blades Tom asminof Fight, Jones was asked,
he said, Curtis versus Tom for the official number one
contending spot. See, and that's another thing. Right While John
is saying I'm doing what I'm doing, which guy's not
(11:46):
done yet. I'm gonna get to John and what he's
doing in a few while he's saying that he still
has many many points on his fight he goes. I
wouldn't be surprised if Curtis won. I've seen scenarios like
this time and time again. Dude prematurely drinking his own
kool aid ends up with a huge piece of humble pie.
(12:08):
I mean, if Sergate can touch tom aspinall that easy,
I'm sure Curtis can too. When Curtis decides to go,
he's a lot faster than people realize, and he hits hard.
A few well time shots in that strong top game.
It could be a long night for old Tommy boy.
Either way, I'll be watching excited to have some additional footage.
(12:35):
It's that, right, it's that, and we'll get to it
and we'll get I don't know.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
If it's true.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
I don't know if this is true, but if it is,
it all makes sense him saying this about the fight though, right,
that's so true about Curtis. Curtis has a tremendous power.
(13:01):
Curtis has great wrestling. Curtis seems to be the type
of guy that can bring their problems for tom Aspernall.
Sure they fought before, but nothing really happened. We didn't
see a fight. One kick fifteen seconds, fights.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
Over dude, towards me up.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
They asked Curtis about it. Curtis goes if I win,
or if Aspinall wins. I don't think Jones is going
to fight anyone.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Outside of Steepe. After Steepe, he will walk away into
the sunset. That's what Curtis said.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
After John kind of gave him his flowers. But I
don't know that John's necessarily giving him his flowers more
than taking a shot at tom aspinall. It's a bit
of a passive aggressive type of statement, because that's what
we do as fighters, right We're passive aggressive until the
contract signed, and you can be openly and outwardly aggressive
(13:48):
on the person that you're fighting. He Curtis blades and
tom aspinall to me is and sleep Ay said it.
Sleep Ay goes Hell take the belt.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
I don't care.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
I want to fight John Jones. I don't care about
the belt. Take the belt.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
I believe that that fight doesn't need a belt.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
But John won't give up the title, and these guys
will fight for the interim title, and it's a tremendous fight.
But I do believe that the winner of that fight
will ultimately be riz will rise to be coming the
undisputed champion, because I don't know that John Jones has
a long career left ahead of him, especially if we're
gonna get into it a couple of seconds.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
It's true. You know.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
It's right because Curtis Blades beating gi Elton I made
after the way Jilton I made it looked, tells you
he is as valuable at the top of the division
for a long time. Tom Aspernaut has shown you time
and time again that he may just be the guy
that leads the heavyweight division into the future, especially in
Manchester Place is gonna be rocking it, rocking rock in
(15:01):
Manchester and Tom Aspinall is going to be the biggest
star of all time. Tom did say this, though, He goes, hey,
you're a heavyweight champion and you're the co main event star.
Power's not there, Remember, guys, let's not forget the other
day Jones was talking or when he fought Anthony Smith,
when he fought Dominic Breerez, Jones spoke about the motivation
(15:23):
and not really wanting to fight these guys that didn't
get him up.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
I think he's saying that about Tom and I don't know.
I don't know that that's quite true.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
But Tom has an opportunity because if Tom Aspinall can
win this fight over Curtis Blades impressively, huh, and make
that moment in Manchester and go, hey, guys, I'm in
New York City, I'm the backup fighter. I'm on the scale.
If one of these dudes get hurt, I'm in there.
Could you imagine? Could you imagine Jones has a to
(16:00):
say about this fight when in reality it seems as
though he's not going to fight going forward. I don't
know if he would be better served to just ignore
their fight and focus just solely on Steve A. Miochic,
because Stepe is doing that for him, because Stepe knows
(16:22):
that that's his route to a championship. If mio Chic
wanted to rebuild his way into a title, he would
have fought already. He knew that he was gonna wait
and hope that the idea or that old thought of
a title fight or a super fight was gonna be
enough to earn him a championship or warrant a title fight,
(16:43):
and he did it worked.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
Hats off to Miochic. Hats off to Miochic.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
Now, guys, I have teased time and time again that
there is something that I was going to talk about
that I didn't know if it was true, but I
would touch it anyway.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
I don't fucking care, because you know what I know.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
I know Jones, and if you have to ask me,
I believe it's true.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
I believe it's true.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Now I could be proven wrong, but I have had many,
many interactions with this man, and I, uh, it feels
like him when I read this. Okay, so I get
this from Luisa's Morning. He goes, Man, I think John
Jones is talking to a fan, and I was like, well,
(17:33):
that would make sense. So then it said, okay, this
is Jones. What if I'm filthy rich and literally on
not one but two small mansions in the same tone,
what does that make me? I'm just curious because the
fan initially said, you're doing everything in your power to
(17:55):
dug tom Aspinall to that, the fan replies, all that
money the world, and you're still this much of an
insecure coward, laughing my ass off. Just go fight Steve
Bait and retire so that we can forget about you already.
Keep Duck and aspenall pale. John then replied I've already
agreed to make fifteen million dollars in my next fight, Kelly. Yeah,
(18:17):
bro about to beat this old man up and ride
off into the sunset. And I hope you enjoy watching it.
Will this is a yeah, this is this is this
is Jones. Jones wrote that I'm telling you right now,
as a guy that has exchange direct messages with him,
(18:40):
that he wrote that. I think he wrote that. I
could be proven wrong. Sure, sure I could be proven wrong.
But my best thought is that he wrote that because
that sounds like something he would write, because it's something
he gets the brag about, and it's something that he
feels justifies what he is doing. And if he's making
(19:02):
fifteen million dollars, he should be fighting Steve Amilchich.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
Right, right.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
It's almost like asking someone to win the lottery, but
say I don't want the ticket. Of course he's gonna
fight him if he's making fifteen million dollars. But if
I had to guess, he did write that, but I do.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
I do. Hey, that fan.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
A lot of times fans will just say rude shit
that they think it hurts you and it doesn't make sense.
But that fan was not as off as some might think,
because when you say all that money and you're still
(19:45):
as insecure as you are, coward.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
No, but he's still insecure.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
And Jones does have some insecurities, as we all do,
but his are just on display for the world to
see in time and time again.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
He has uh shown that.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
But if this dude is out here talking to fans
right now, they're getting to him right They're getting to him,
and that in itself is a bit of an insecurity.
But if I'm Jones, I'm definitely fight Steven mits Is
fifteen million dollars.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
I'm telling you I didn't get that how.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
To give fifteen to fight step Bet I'm telling you
I fought him three times, three times. I didn't get
fifteen The fighter he said, Steve is old. Sounds like
John Jones is wanting to fight the highest grossing fight
with the least amount of risk. But I will warn
you this, don't overlook Steve A.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
Miochich.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
He is a fucking killer and if you overlook him,
he will put you out.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
He's just that good.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
Forty two thirty five, thirty one, thirty eight don't matter.
Miotis is gonna show up. There's gonna be a hell
of a fight.
Speaker 2 (20:59):

Mike Tyson is a fighter, and he told him who's

Guys, So, I have been talking about the whole heavyweight
situation because to me it's so intriguing, right because you
have a guy in Jones, who rightfully sits where he sits.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
I don't care. I don't care.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
How annoying it is that he is unwilling to fight
Tom aspinall. I don't really care about that. Honestly, I
would like to see them fight. But when you have

(02:36):

(02:57):
But how can you say a fight between two guys
widely considered and the greatest of conversation of the fight
you don't want to see, and it seems like it's
gonna happen in New York City.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
You know.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
New York City is a place where when you fight there,
you can feel the magic. When you fight there for
a heavyweight championship, you can feel the magic. You can
feel the ghost of the Joe Frazier's and the Muhammad
al Le's, and the Sunny Listens and the so many
(03:34):
George Foreman's and so many great fighters that pass through
Madison Square Garden.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
I believe that.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
If you're going to do a heavyweight championship fight, you
do it there, and you do it with those two guys,
you know. I think that the frustration comes from Jones
telling people what he's going to do and be an
unwilling or yes to move or make adjustments or to
(04:13):
adjust you know, for a long time when we were
going through our stuff Jones and I, people spoke about
how they wish he would just be forward and forthright
and just tell him, hey, I'm a piece of shit.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
It is what it is. Deal with it.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Now, Jones is pretty much saying I'm going to do
I want to do regardless of what you feel, and
people don't like it. You can't have both sides of
the coin.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
You just can't.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
You can't tell him be your true self. Then when
he gives you his true self, you dislike it and
go back to I don't know if I like this guy.
Dude is the champion heavyweight champion of the world. They
put him in there with Cyril Gun and he beat him.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
He got it done.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
You know, when you are the man with the title
and the man with the accolades, you kind of make
the rules, especially in his situation. If you know one thing,
there's been a lot of concessions made for John Jones.
The only time those concessions are made is ultimately when
you are making money, and if you ain't making money,
(05:23):
you are not getting the concessions.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Made for you.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
You just kind of got to deal with all that
on your own Tom Aspernall, to his credit, takes the
next fight. You know, I was going on and on
about this cyri Gan thing, and I remember when Cyril
Goan fought in Paris, man it was perfect. He beat
(05:50):
tied to I Austin. The crowd was as hot as
you've ever seen a crowd. Tom Aspernall's there, tom Asvenav
still is at that point trying to find a way
into the conversation.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
So what do you do?
Speaker 1 (06:04):
You go to Cyril Gon, the guy that just fall
for the belt, was the interim champion, fall for the
heavyweight championship against Frances and Ghanho, And you say, I
want to fight him, and the best way to do
that is by being in an arena hoping that when
that guy wins, he has his moment because Cerol fought
tremendous on that fight night to get high, he calls
(06:25):
you into the octagon and you build a moment that
you can build a fight on. Syrol Gon know Selsan
Cyril doesn't even talk about him being there, so essentially
he's there for nothing because Cyril just does not pay
him any mind. I thought it was a mistake by
Cyril Gone. I thought because we don't know right. A
(06:47):
lot of times when we're talking to you, guys, we
are talking from a place of experience, but not really
in the details or unwilling to give all the details.
I thought that when Tom Aspernal didn't beat Sergey Pavlovich,
he gets an opportunity to fight someone.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
We don't know who that's going to be.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
It ultimately turns out to be Curtis Blades, but only
because you'd imagine it came back to bite cerrool Gan
in the ass. No, no, it did not come back
to bite serol Gan and the ass guys. I guess
cyril Gon was the first guy offered to fight. I
guess he was the first guy offered to fight, and
(07:33):
Tom said yes. But then Cero has a movie going
on right now, and because he's doing a movie, he
didn't want to go into fight camp.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Hell.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
I remember Michael Bisping being on a movie set. One
week later he's the world champion. I don't know that
you pass up these opportunities. But I don't know how
cyril Gon didn't recognize that. It's a very unique circumstance
because Tom Aspnau could have did to him what he
(08:07):
did to tom Aspernall.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
He could have, but.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
He said, nope, I'm gonna fight him. That tells me
who Tom Askenall is, right. That tells me who he is.
I don't I don't question this young man anymore. I
remember when Michael Bisbane made these huge, grand statements about
this young man when he was gonna fight Sergei Pavlovitch,
(08:33):
and I had seen Sergey Pavlovich just knocked everybody out,
no matter who he thought, he knocked him out. And
Michael Bisman was telling me and everybody else that would
listen that this guy was going to make this fight
look easy. And I said to myself, I said, wow,
Bisban is just talking because this is an Englishman, this
is one of his own people, and he wants to
(08:55):
support him. Come to find out, Michael Bisman was telling
you the god honest truth.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
He telling you the truth.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
Tom Aspinall made it look easy in that fight. But
then by saying okay to Cyril Gun too, it tells
me that he is not looking to not compete with anyone.
Hold out John Jones, who is considered by many the
greatest fighter of all time. He accepted the Cyril gun fight.
(09:22):
Who if we know anything about syrol Gun. He is
as good as any heavyweight we've seen in a long time.
He's got a lot of unique skills that make it
very difficult when you look at Tom Asperinau. Obviously Tom
shares a lot of those same skills.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
Said yes, and I.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
Think therein lies a bit of the problem before I
get into a little bit of the courtis Blaze Tom
aspinaut match, I think there lies the problem with most
He got one guy who's a longtime champion who is
now the current champion, saying I'm going to do what
(10:00):
whatever I want, when i want. On the other hand,
you got another guy, the young guy who is the
interim champion, that is saying whoever it's going to be,
it's going to be right. So now you got this divide.
And people who have seen John Jones go from being
(10:21):
the guy that took Rashad Evans place on short notice
to fight Shogun Hua to become the champion. John Jones,
who's the guy that fought each and every single killer
that came his way. The people that were there are reminded, wait,
he used to be like Tom aspinall, but now he's
(10:41):
not doing that. So you have this section of people going,
fight this guy right here, Tom, he's the best we
can recognize that. John's going, I'm fighting this guy over here.
He's forty two years old. He hasn't fought in four years.
That's where the divide comes in. That's why people are
so split and people are so pissed off.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Now.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Jones has a very, very committed fan base and they
will fight and defend him no matter what he does.
But for the first time, I feel like Moore are
kind of going, hey, man, the hell with this. There's
a young, hungry lion on that side waiting to fight you.
Why aren't you fighting him? I don't feel like he's
(11:24):
gonna be willing to do that. He ain't changing, and
I don't know that he needs to now. When talking
about the Curtis Blades Tom asminof Fight, Jones was asked,
he said, Curtis versus Tom for the official number one
contending spot. See, and that's another thing. Right While John
is saying I'm doing what I'm doing, which guy's not
(11:46):
done yet. I'm gonna get to John and what he's
doing in a few while he's saying that he still
has many many points on his fight he goes. I
wouldn't be surprised if Curtis won. I've seen scenarios like
this time and time again. Dude prematurely drinking his own
kool aid ends up with a huge piece of humble pie.
(12:08):
I mean, if Sergate can touch tom aspinall that easy,
I'm sure Curtis can too. When Curtis decides to go,
he's a lot faster than people realize, and he hits hard.
A few well time shots in that strong top game.
It could be a long night for old Tommy boy.
Either way, I'll be watching excited to have some additional footage.
(12:35):
It's that, right, it's that, and we'll get to it
and we'll get I don't know.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
If it's true.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
I don't know if this is true, but if it is,
it all makes sense him saying this about the fight though, right,
that's so true about Curtis. Curtis has a tremendous power.
(13:01):
Curtis has great wrestling. Curtis seems to be the type
of guy that can bring their problems for tom Aspernall.
Sure they fought before, but nothing really happened. We didn't
see a fight. One kick fifteen seconds, fights.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
Over dude, towards me up.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
They asked Curtis about it. Curtis goes if I win,
or if Aspinall wins. I don't think Jones is going
to fight anyone.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Outside of Steepe. After Steepe, he will walk away into
the sunset. That's what Curtis said.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
After John kind of gave him his flowers. But I
don't know that John's necessarily giving him his flowers more
than taking a shot at tom aspinall. It's a bit
of a passive aggressive type of statement, because that's what
we do as fighters, right We're passive aggressive until the
contract signed, and you can be openly and outwardly aggressive
(13:48):
on the person that you're fighting. He Curtis blades and
tom aspinall to me is and sleep Ay said it.
Sleep Ay goes Hell take the belt.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
I don't care.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
I want to fight John Jones. I don't care about
the belt. Take the belt.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
I believe that that fight doesn't need a belt.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
But John won't give up the title, and these guys
will fight for the interim title, and it's a tremendous fight.
But I do believe that the winner of that fight
will ultimately be riz will rise to be coming the
undisputed champion, because I don't know that John Jones has
a long career left ahead of him, especially if we're
gonna get into it a couple of seconds.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
It's true. You know.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
It's right because Curtis Blades beating gi Elton I made
after the way Jilton I made it looked, tells you
he is as valuable at the top of the division
for a long time. Tom Aspernaut has shown you time
and time again that he may just be the guy
that leads the heavyweight division into the future, especially in
Manchester Place is gonna be rocking it, rocking rock in
(15:01):
Manchester and Tom Aspinall is going to be the biggest
star of all time. Tom did say this, though, He goes, hey,
you're a heavyweight champion and you're the co main event star.
Power's not there, Remember, guys, let's not forget the other
day Jones was talking or when he fought Anthony Smith,
when he fought Dominic Breerez, Jones spoke about the motivation
(15:23):
and not really wanting to fight these guys that didn't
get him up.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
I think he's saying that about Tom and I don't know.
I don't know that that's quite true.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
But Tom has an opportunity because if Tom Aspinall can
win this fight over Curtis Blades impressively, huh, and make
that moment in Manchester and go, hey, guys, I'm in
New York City, I'm the backup fighter. I'm on the scale.
If one of these dudes get hurt, I'm in there.
Could you imagine? Could you imagine Jones has a to
(16:00):
say about this fight when in reality it seems as
though he's not going to fight going forward. I don't
know if he would be better served to just ignore
their fight and focus just solely on Steve A. Miochic,
because Stepe is doing that for him, because Stepe knows
(16:22):
that that's his route to a championship. If mio Chic
wanted to rebuild his way into a title, he would
have fought already. He knew that he was gonna wait
and hope that the idea or that old thought of
a title fight or a super fight was gonna be
enough to earn him a championship or warrant a title fight,
(16:43):
and he did it worked.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
Hats off to Miochic. Hats off to Miochic.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
Now, guys, I have teased time and time again that
there is something that I was going to talk about
that I didn't know if it was true, but I
would touch it anyway.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
I don't fucking care, because you know what I know.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
I know Jones, and if you have to ask me,
I believe it's true.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
I believe it's true.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Now I could be proven wrong, but I have had many,
many interactions with this man, and I, uh, it feels
like him when I read this. Okay, so I get
this from Luisa's Morning. He goes, Man, I think John
Jones is talking to a fan, and I was like, well,
(17:33):
that would make sense. So then it said, okay, this
is Jones. What if I'm filthy rich and literally on
not one but two small mansions in the same tone,
what does that make me? I'm just curious because the
fan initially said, you're doing everything in your power to
(17:55):
dug tom Aspinall to that, the fan replies, all that
money the world, and you're still this much of an
insecure coward, laughing my ass off. Just go fight Steve
Bait and retire so that we can forget about you already.
Keep Duck and aspenall pale. John then replied I've already
agreed to make fifteen million dollars in my next fight, Kelly. Yeah,
(18:17):
bro about to beat this old man up and ride
off into the sunset. And I hope you enjoy watching it.
Will this is a yeah, this is this is this
is Jones. Jones wrote that I'm telling you right now,
as a guy that has exchange direct messages with him,
(18:40):
that he wrote that. I think he wrote that. I
could be proven wrong. Sure, sure I could be proven wrong.
But my best thought is that he wrote that because
that sounds like something he would write, because it's something
he gets the brag about, and it's something that he
feels justifies what he is doing. And if he's making
(19:02):
fifteen million dollars, he should be fighting Steve Amilchich.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
Right, right.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
It's almost like asking someone to win the lottery, but
say I don't want the ticket. Of course he's gonna
fight him if he's making fifteen million dollars. But if
I had to guess, he did write that, but I do.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
I do. Hey, that fan.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
A lot of times fans will just say rude shit
that they think it hurts you and it doesn't make sense.
But that fan was not as off as some might think,
because when you say all that money and you're still
(19:45):
as insecure as you are, coward.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
No, but he's still insecure.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
And Jones does have some insecurities, as we all do,
but his are just on display for the world to
see in time and time again.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
He has uh shown that.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
But if this dude is out here talking to fans
right now, they're getting to him right They're getting to him,
and that in itself is a bit of an insecurity.
But if I'm Jones, I'm definitely fight Steven mits Is
fifteen million dollars.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
I'm telling you I didn't get that how.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
To give fifteen to fight step Bet I'm telling you
I fought him three times, three times. I didn't get
fifteen The fighter he said, Steve is old. Sounds like
John Jones is wanting to fight the highest grossing fight
with the least amount of risk. But I will warn
you this, don't overlook Steve A.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
Miochich.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
He is a fucking killer and if you overlook him,
he will put you out.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
He's just that good.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
Forty two thirty five, thirty one, thirty eight don't matter.
Miotis is gonna show up. There's gonna be a hell
of a fight.
