If you kick my ass in front of the whole world, I’ll be the first to raise my hand and say, “You’re the better man.” No problem. You took my dreams away from me, but at least I tried. However, what I don’t have respect for is this constant ducking and diving, especially in the 21st century. Jon, you’re holding something I deserve, and this is a situation I can’t just sit back and accept.
For the past years, since I was a young boy training with my dad, we’ve had a dream that I would become the Undisputed UFC Heavyweight Champion. That’s all I’ve wanted, and now you hold that belt. But here’s the thing: You’re avoiding me, and it’s frustrating to see. This isn’t about discrediting your legacy or your career, because you’ve built something incredible. No one can take that away from you. But this is about the fact that you have the title, and I want it. Simple as that.
The fight this weekend? It’s a weird one. We’ve got two legends, Jon Jones and Stipe Miocic, fighting for the “Undisputed” Heavyweight title. But let’s be honest here, Jon – this is anything but undisputed. We’ve got two guys who are both past their prime. You’ve got a 42-year-old Miocic, and you’ve been fighting for the spotlight, avoiding the real threats like me. And while I respect both of you, this fight doesn’t feel like it should be for the Undisputed title. There are younger, more active fighters out there who deserve their chance, and I’m one of them.
People want to see the best fights, the freshest matchups, and I believe I’m the guy who deserves that shot. I’ve been putting in the work, and I’ve earned my spot at the top. I’ve finished five of the top ten heavyweights in the first round, and yet, you’re still avoiding me. You say you’re the GOAT, and you might be. But the way you’re handling this situation makes it hard to respect. You’re ducking me, Jon, and I’m not the only one who sees it. This isn’t about whether you’ve been great in the past; this is about whether you’ll face the next generation of contenders like me.
I’m not here to come after you personally. I don’t care about your legacy or your money. What matters to me is that I get the opportunity to prove I am the best, and you have the title that should be mine. You’ve been dodging me, and it’s frustrating to see someone with your skill set hold onto the title when there’s a hungry contender right here waiting for his chance.
And don’t act surprised when people start calling you out for ducking – because this has been going on for years. You avoided fighting Francis Ngannou, and now you’re avoiding me. What’s your excuse now? You say you won’t fight me because it’s too much of a gamble. That sounds like a man scared of losing.
If you’re the true champion, Jon, prove it. Show me that I don’t deserve the shot. Come into that octagon and fight me. If you win, I’ll admit it, no problem. But if you’re avoiding me, it speaks volumes. Every other champion would take on a challenger breathing down their neck. You should want to fight me, to prove that you’re the best.
So here it is – I want the title, and I want to face you. It’s as simple as that. If you think I’m not worthy, show me. Prove me wrong. But stop hiding behind excuses and avoiding the challenge. If you truly believe in your legacy, face the challenge head-on, like a real champion should.
Jon, you’ve got what I want. Let’s settle it.
