I think the fight will happen. This is Jones negotiating publicly and being as difficult as possible.
What we're already seeing from the UFC, Dana, and the UFC is exactly why this fight was made. Myself and bunch of other people here have been saying it since day one. The only purpose of this fight was to inflate Jones even more. Creating their own reality and narrative isn't anything new for the UFC but they're taking it up a notch. Jones talking about how hard he hit and how durable he was and Dana saying how incredible he looked. Stipe looked awful from the very first minute. He might've been a better match up for Mike Tyson on Friday night than Jon Jones on Saturday night.
