What happens if???

[Colemanstove]

Stipe beats Jones and Blades beats Aspinal.

Haven't seen anyone mention this yet. Would be a hilarious disaster.

Derrick Lewis would probley end up getting a title shot in 2025.. Crazy but it's a totally possible scenario.

 

[Davidjacksonjones]

Stipe would then fight against Blaydes for the unified, undisputed HW champ status. Pretty crazy , but possible scenario

 

[Prologue]

Won't happen because Jesus loves Jon Jones more.

If you haven't heard the Gospel of Saint Jones, please talk to Brother @Davidjacksonjones and be shown the Light.

 

[Neck&Neck]

They would just rematch till Dana gets the desired outcome

 

[Paolo Delutis]

It would be funny...but not hilarious..

People sleeping way too much on Stipe IMO if you go watch his fights dude has been pretty consistent his entire career... And hes always had breaks between fights to fight fires like a man...

And Tom is pretty unproven for a interim champion... Half his wins in UFC are against guys no longer with the company or on there way out so i dont think him losing to Blaydes is out of the question...but Blaydes does tend to fold on these bigger fights

It is a must read. Just a great quote from today's chapter 21 of the Gospel of Saint Jones. which is about compassion and respect for women

 

[Siver!]

I thought Stipe was definitely retiring, but it seems I made that up!

No doubt, Firemen are 4 REAL

 

[El Fernas]

Stipe will fight whoever...as long as he gets paid, similar to old man Glover sticking around for big fights.

The UFC owns the belt, the promotion and basically the fighters, they will always make money anyway, fighters can walk away, a very few, the belt stays.

 

[Russie]

If Stipe wins he'll just drop the title and retire. He's said his only motive is to fight Jones.

Part of me would love to see this scenario play out but I don't expect that it will.

While this makes 100% sense, do we really believe that JBJ wouldn't get granted an immediate rematch?

 

[RonDante]

Stipe has said he will stick around and fight tom if he gets the belt, i don’t think blue collar ohio Balkan immigrant firefighter stipe would lie about that

 

[Mohawk Banditó]

I thought Stipe was definitely retiring, but it seems I made that up!

He said something which basically means he takes his wants for MMA a day at a time. Never a good thing to hear, retirement is definitely already in his mind, but he could still choose to fight more, I guess.

It's like the employee who already has their years in the pension, so they're free to leave the second something pisses them off

 

[Bobby Boulders]

It's true though

 

[Tweak896]

Stipe vs Blaydes seems like a decent matchup if it happens. Also assuming Stipe isn't a glass chin with his age. Wrestling would cancel out, Stipe has better striking, but Blaydes has more power. IDK it would work sort of.

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

They give Pereira the belt

 

[HHJ]

Stipe would then fight against Blaydes for the unified, undisputed HW champ status. Pretty crazy , but possible scenario

Stipe retires. Blaydes fights Lewis for vacant belt

 

[Arm Barbarian]

It's not much more of a shit show than Juicer Jones has already made HW recently.

Aspinall is unproven? That's absurd. The guy has wins over the current #3, #5, #8, and #9, and he finished all of them in the first round. Hopefully you're just trolling.

 

[nonoob]

fighters can walk away

True, and Dana will make sure they have a smooth and profitable future.
