Matt Brown Says Jon Jones’ Legacy Will be Intact, With or Without Tom Aspinall
During an edition of MMAFighting.com‘s “The Fighter vs. The Writer,” Matt Brown told Damon Martin that regardless of whether or not Jon Jones fights Tom Aspinall, his legacy will not be damaged.
“The fact is, it will be forgotten,” Brown said. “No matter what Tom does. If Jon retires after he beats Stipe, we’re in the age of news is news for a day. Maybe for a day or two, there will be some people on Reddit saying Jon was scared of Tom or whatever.
“By next week or whatever … he’ll still be the greatest ever. No one’s going to be like, ‘Oh, Jon’s not the greatest ever because he didn’t fight Tom Aspinall.’ I don’t think a single person’s going to say that. They’re just going to talk a little bit of silly stuff for a couple of days and it will be completely forgotten. Just like [Georges St-Pierre].”
As of now, Jones vs. Miocic still doesn’t have a new date. While the rumor mill claims the fight is being planned for November, the UFC has yet to confirm.
