"STRIP HIM DANA" - Fans react as petition to strip Jon Jones of UFC heavyweight title crosses 100,000 signatures

Jon Jones has had one of the most inauspicious and frustrating UFC title reigns of all time, with a petition to strip him of his crown now reaching the six-figure mark for signatures.

With a single title defense against Stipe Miocic last November, Jones is close to breaking the record for being the longest-reigning UFC heavyweight champion. However, there seems to be no meaningful motion being made toward a title unification bout with interim champion Tom Aspinall, who is the longest-reigning interim champ in the company's history.

The Jon Jones title petition on Change.org has now encroached beyond the 100,000 signature mark. A screenshot of this development was made into a graphic by X account @ChampRDS, with several X users offering up their thoughts on this development.

Jon Jones vs. Tom Aspinall fatigue setting in according to former Jones opponent

Jon Jones versus Tom Aspinall has been a desired fight for so long now with so little in terms of clarity on if it will ever happen. A prior adversary of Jones thinks people are growing a bit tired of it all.

The 37-year-old has been out in Thailand filming a reality show with Nate Diaz and shows little in the way of preparing for an Aspinall bout, which seems to be contributing to a growing indifference for this bout in the eyes of Chael Sonnen.

In an interaction with MMA Junkie, Sonnen said:

"People are not caring about this fight. I have different guesses why. I hypothesize that the audience doesn't want to get too behind something they aren't confident they can get. I think that's part of it. But I'm telling you, as this fight has gone on, unlike other fights, it's not getting bigger. It has gotten smaller. People are caring less and less."
