It kinda sucks that Islam moved up. Would've loved to see him fight Ilia.

There is so many factors that come with Jones, legacy, really never lost* (undefeated), Age, money ect.

Whatever his reasons the dude is a beast that took advantage of his born attributes(7'+ wing span). I think he doesn't have the fire in him anymore, he wants to fight for a check and not to see who's better.

Gotta remember Jones did the GSP-Hendricks style "retirement" after a big beating and gifted decision, except he went about it in a weasel way. He used the guise of the "move to HW" which had him sitting out for years. People forget the Ngannou fight was offered to Jones while Ngannou was still under contract-- and he turned it down (5 years later he says he wants it when Ngannou is no longer under contract). But I get why he's not eager to fight a better, bigger, stronger, more dangerous version of Reyes. It does come down to legacy, because he's fine if Ngannou puts a loss on his record. He just doesn't want a loss to Tom Reyes. He knows the possibility of that is very high and money won't make it better.
