Yes, but we thought destroying the division meant clearing out the top 5 not dismantling the actual division
Gane's no bum in kickboxing but he thought he could kickbox his way through HW instead of training a day of grappling, which is half the sport. So in retrospect, he had some bum training habits, he was a bum on the ground.
That's the point, he's just indicated he won't retire by calling out Alex Pereira. Why would he retire if, as HW champ, he can just take "money fights" against strikers in lower divisions, or the occasional retired legend instead of the actual contenders in the division?
What I really don't understand is how people are putting Pav above him despite Pav being a very limited striker with a questionable ground game that Overeem exposed years ago.
Jones has only held the Heavyweight title for 429 days, so we're about 301 days off from it being "two years", which I wouldn't consider "nearly".
depends on whether he gets the full conor treatment or not. i'd be willing to bet he wouldn't. they'll humor him for a while but eventually they're going to force his hand at HW. he doesn't have the drawing power conor did and he's old. maybe they give him pereira but i doubt it's going to be allowed to fester for years or anything like that.
But the rumor is he won't fight Stipe until November in MSG, which will be 6 more months.
Yea sadly he did lose pretty embarrassingly quick lol. Gane hasn't helped his Case by doing nothing of note since. I know he beat Tybura, but it was a pretty lackluster fight
And then he'll spend the next 6 months campaigning for Pereira or some other easy fight, avoiding Tom or whoever's in line at that point and schedule it for another 6 months in the future.
