Tom Aspinall's father expresses his frustration over waiting for the Jon Jones fight:
"It's stupid. I have no idea the reason why the UFC don't want Tom to fight anybody else other than Jon Jones.
'Stay tuned'. That's the message they wanted Tom to give out to people... we're in April now, still waiting for [Jon] to say 'I'll have a fight' or 'I'll not have a fight'. I don't really understand that. He's a fighter who should be having fights.
Why's [Jon] still sat around not giving an answer as to whether he's gonna fight or not."

It’s insane how many people see this as some kind of gotcha moment for Joe.
He made an error then immediately accepted he was wrong when his own friend fact checked it on his own show. This is what honest people with integrity do.
He could’ve easily cut it from the episode, edited it, doubled down etc. but no, he just calmly owned it and corrected it.
Some people want so much for Joe to be the bogeyman that the media portrayed him as that they’ll pounce on the tiniest little thing and pretend it’s some kind of a career ending scandal.
Name one other podcast, media or news show in the world that’s this honest, open and informative, just one?
