Pound-4-Pound podcast<\/a>. \u201cAnd he\u2019s smug about it and arrogant. He\u2019s not being genuine. We just want a genuine answer out of you, bro. Not some bullcrap string everybody a long, \u2018Oh, well, maybe this, uhhhh.\u2019 Are you going to fight or not? I think that\u2019s what everybody\u2019s mad about, trying to play with all of us.<\/p>\n\u201cIf you\u2019re done, say you\u2019re done. If you\u2019re not done, say, \u2018Let\u2019s go, but I want more money, or I want this.\u2019 That\u2019s it. Don\u2019t say, \u2018We\u2019ll see! There\u2019s a big announcement coming out, and then it\u2019s nothing. I think that\u2019s why people were so mad.\u201d<\/p>\n
In addition to Jones\u2019 retirement flip-flop, fight fans are still bummed out that \u201cBones\u201d didn\u2019t give Aspinall the chance to fight him and unify the UFC heavyweight belts. Reyes, who lost a competitive decision to Jones in a title fight back at UFC 247 in 2020, also knows what it feels like to want a shot at Jones only to be avoided.<\/p>\n
\u201cI did!\u201d said Reyes when asked if he had wanted a rematch with Jones. \u201cIf you guys don\u2019t remember after that fight, I lobbied for the rematch for an entire year and he said, \u2018Drop the belt\u2019 and went to heavyweight. Literally that\u2019s what happened. People forget that, too. He ran from me! He said, \u2018You\u2019re not paying me enough to fight that guy. He\u2019s too dangerous.\u2019 That was literally his response.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Dominick Reyes believes former foe, Jon Jones, has turned the MMA fanbase against himself following his recent retirement…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":39098,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[570],"tags":[617,793,64,63,34902,1646,33563,34904,34903,786,580,5587,585,1642,12528,4443,1347,28434,785,1645,34901,1793,33564,85,792,787,1396],"class_list":["post-39097","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mma","tag-and","tag-aspinall","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-blasts","tag-com","tag-dominick","tag-ducking","tag-fiasco","tag-fighting","tag-for","tag-from","tag-front-page","tag-he","tag-jon","tag-jones","tag-latest-news","tag-me","tag-mma","tag-mmamania","tag-ran","tag-retirement","tag-reyes","tag-sports","tag-tom","tag-ufc","tag-ufc-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39097","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=39097"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39097\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/39098"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=39097"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=39097"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=39097"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
