Did Jon Jones beating a washed up, plodding, shot fighter in Stipe Miocic increase his legacy at all?

[Takes Two To Tango]

I mean Jones said it was a legacy fight, but it was not much of a fight at all.

And it definitely wasn't the best Stipe, probably the worst he looked ever in his career.

I don't think it moved the needle much if not at all in terms of legacy. However the positives about it is that it reinforce my thoughts on Jones at fighting at HW.

He looked fantastic and I hope he fights Aspinall, it would be a great competitive fight.

We will see.

Not really. Stipe is never fighting again, and his last fight was a KO loss to Ngannou.

In 20 years from now people look at Stipes record and ask why the fuck he came back for this.

Did Kevin Mcbride beating a washed up Tyson improve his legacy?

Great point. True dat.

It showed me he's much better.

Not a doubt in my mind if Jones in his prime fights Stipe in his prime Jones still beats him. That's what it showed.

It didn't do much for his legacy, Stipe was inactive for 3 years, 41 years old

Looked very old and stiff

Jon pricing himself out for Francis and ducking Aspinall made his legacy worse. Heck, even chosing to debut at HW against a striker also makes Jon's legacy even worse

Threads like this make me happy about leaving Sherdog.

It's literally the same shit over and over.

Not really, is Ryan Bader now a top 3 all time heavyweight because he beat Fedor, or Jake Paul a top 5 all time boxer because he beat Tyson?

Oh ok, sorry which thread did I do, that's similar to this?

I almost feel sorry for stipe and then I remember he signed up for this - no one made him do it

 

[AmonTobin]

I’d say there’s got to be some significant overlap between people who thought Jones-Miocic was awesome and people who thought Jake Paul-Mike Tyson was awesome.

You're leaving?

 

[CombatCyborg]

A little bit, because Stipe put up a fight and Jon got a nice finish. Stipe is a great fighter, in his prime he manhandles Jon.

 

[loisestrad]

You're leaving?

Well, i guess so. Haven't heard much about the two poin authorization lately.

Leaving Sherdog but still posting on Sherdog about being happy about leaving Sherdog.
Hm.

 

[C0NCH3TO]

Just like Jake Paul beating Tyson.

 

[Bork Neslar]

Stipe is an ex fighter who suffered many injuries and who was happily retired for many years. His name is still relatively important while actually not being a big threat to roided cheater Jones. That's exactly why Jones "wanted" him.

 

[moreorless87]

Slightly but not a great deal.

Thank you my friend.
