Suddenly HW became no division for old men.

 

[WaylonMercy5150]

How embarrassing.

 

[Gang Sign Luke]

Is there anything in this sport to look forward to anymore?

No one on Sherdog thinks Stipe is the greatest heavyweight of all time.

And Aspinall, you coming to mix in low kicks and wrestle, but you getting ktfo.

Stipe has fought long enough and carved out a legacy that it's an understandable decision.

Put yourself in his shoes. He's 41, hasn't fought in over two years, and now is fighting the biggest name in MMA currently for the HW title. All of a sudden you are asked to face a young dangerous opponent with heavy hands and no name recognition. The Jones fight was his last shot at glory and red panty night. Why risk it all against Pavlovich

But as understandable as his decision is, this just shows that the Jones-Miocic fight was kinda farce to begin with

Pav and Aspinall? (Shrug)

 

[Adamant]

He'll make WAY more money fighting Jones than no-name Pavlovich

 

[VinceArch]

So sick of Interim title fights and I used to not mind them...

 

[filthynumber1]

cant blame him
jones high risk high reward
pav high risk low reward

 

[Zach The Maniac]

Stipe will probably get fired after this.

 

[tritestill]

Think all of us knew this already, shoulder shrug.

 

[Human Bass]

The UFC really overratess Stipe star power

 

[italiamusica]

Yeah this makes Stipe look like a loser, he should have retired a long time ago since he likes firefighting more than regular fighting.

your post makes you look like a loser pal

its obvious that jones/stipe were both going to retire after this one. total garbage. i dont care wtf happens now with jones or stipe in the future. if they dont want to fight for the title, then fuck it. time to move on. makes no sense they havent stripped jones of the title. so aspinall/pav for the interim, then they wait until middle of next year to see the results of the real HW belt jones/stipe? then end of 2024/early 2025 fight for the real title? this is all fucking stupid.
