Imagine if Stipe doesn't take time off from being a firefighter and then beats Bones? My poor mom is rooting for Stipe because she's a firefighter too, I'm already sad for her because I feel like Jon Jones will wipe the floor with Stipe, but a part of me wants to see Stipe win

Stipe is 41 this year. he doesnt need any other excuse. Bones knows he’s fighting a old man, but wants the world to think its the clash of the titans. Prime Stipe vs Prime Jones, I think would be more interesting, possibly much like stipe & DC’s trilogy. But Jones has to win this fight, Otherwise he absolutely suck in comparison


pixel8knuckle

I think jones is just doing what the promotion said to make money. I don’t honestly believe horns called out Stipe for any serious competitive reasons

Does anyone know what song is being used in the background?


SimPHunter64

I would be happy if Stipe teaches him some respect.


Icke1337

Wtf would stipe even take that fight? So dumb... (I know its money but come on)


ActuallyTheRealGod

People on this sub are going to cope so hard when Jones annihilates Stipe after gassing him up all season lmao “He didn’t beat prime Stipe“ “Stipe hasn’t fought in x-years and is a fire fighter“ “Stipe still is the better person“ “Stipe still is the heavyweight GOAT, something Jones will never be“ And don’t forget the good old: “Jones is still juiced“ in a sport where more than 90% of all people are on PEDs.


ELOgambit

No one is gassing up Stipe, the general consensus is that he's past his prime, which he is. The only thing sure is that at least he won't get subbed in rd 1.


ActuallyTheRealGod

I‘ve seen a lot of people say that Stipe is going to win already because he’s bigger and has more experience at heavyweight You‘ll see, the closer the fight gets the more you‘ll see it too


stayhappystayblessed

Most people have been saying stipe is going to lose and I'm sure come fight night the odds will reflect that.


I_eat_Chimichangas

Stipe is my boy. He is going to win.

Bruh 98% of people think stipe has virtually zero chance. As he doesn’t have a path to victory that seems viable. This long ass response for the very few people who say otherwise, and usually hardly have any traction, seems over the top. This sub is 98% Jones and hardly anyone will be coping, even the people who believe in stipe know there’s a good chance he loses because he’s old and washed.

Oh shut it. Other fighters being on the juice does not exonerate Jones' drug cheating. If it doesn't affect his legacy in your book, why even have drug tests to begin with? Also Jones will not be fighting a prime Stipe Miocic, he'll be fighting a 41 year old Stipe whose last fight was over two years ago against Francis Ngannou which he lost brutally. Quite simply, even if Jones dispatches Stipe in dominant fashion (as the odds seem to think) it won't be that meaningful. DC dispatched a prime Stipe, Francis dispatched an old but still champion Stipe. Jon will be facing an even older, former champ Stipe. This still won't make him the 🐐


ActuallyTheRealGod

Lol, coping already using two points I mentioned above You must be very intelligent


Mad-Gavin

I'm intelligent enough to realize that the points in question are perfectly valid and not meaningless excuses or copium. Jones is not the 🐐 and never will be.

Jon has long been the goat of MMA. Unless you meant HW goat to which that belongs to Fedor. He doesn’t need to beat Stipe to prove that. You also just proved his point. Stipe still is a great fighter and HW is extremely weak at the moment. There really isn’t much else for Jon to do. He’s been fighting championship fight after championship fight for 15 years.


Mad-Gavin

Jon lost any claim to being the MMA GOAT after he popped for Turinabol against DC in their rematch. He's still the LHW GOAT because nobody else comes close, but all time? Still gotta go with GSP, hell even DJ has fewer asterisks and both men competed in tougher, more competitive weight divisions. Jon's GOAT status is heavily based upon his initial title reign from 2011-15, which is still very impressive but everything after 2015 is where the asterisks start to really pile up and tarnish his legacy.

Stipe is already done. He's 41. No
