  • Jon Jones vs. Tom Aspinall or Alex Pereira next? No, Mike Tyson was never going to win

    Jon Jones vs. Tom Aspinall or Alex Pereira next? No, Mike Tyson was never going to win
    Nov 18 2024
    On this episode, Eric McMahon and John Morgan reflect on an incredible Jon Jones win at UFC 309, and perhaps an unfortunate final sendoff for Stipe Miocic. What is motivating Jones now? Will it be Alex Pereira, or could a Tom Aspinall fight deliver the type of cash “Bones” wants to take the matchup?

    Plus, the guys talk about the predictable matchup between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson that streamed live on Netflix and wonder why so many people had issues understanding what was going to unfold.

    Additionally, Charles Oliveira and Michael Chandler both delivered at UFC 309, while Bo Nickal showed he’s still a work in progress. Plus the latest from John’s work with CFFC Match Day, and the difficult but seemingly appropriate decision Eric was forced to make at Gamebred Bareknuckle MMA. All this and more.
