Has Jones-Miocic even been scheduled?

[deadshot138]

Is there a date and event set for them to fight? What's the window on Jones' recovery?

It's likely going to be in November. UFC usually doesn't announce PPVs out of sequence, ie they won't announce the November PPV main event before we even know the one for September etc. So we're going to still have to wait a while before it is official.

 

[filthybliss]

don't think anyone cares for this much at all, the hype is dead. Jones will have to go on more crass coke benders to reinstate interest in the fight.

 

[tritestill]

Just ask the matchmakers bro

Welp, I believe November was the idea. But who knows now that Jon lost half a finger to his cyber truck in the airport.

What? This is completely inaccurate. Plenty of events had their main event announced before an earlier one

On rare occasion but it's not their standard practice recently. It's happened like 3 or so times in the ESPN era ie they did announce Jones vs Miocic (for UFC 295 last year) quite far in advance. Stuff from 10+ years ago isn't particularly relevant.

Is anyone still actually caring about said freakshow match up?

Only want to see it just to see it. UFC's 205 goat vs HW goat. It's a unique match up in that sense. But relevancy wise it's not there, Jon is HW champ so he's relevant, but Stipe has been so inactive. I just accept as an entertainment fight.

 

[Dorkman]

Fuck i hope not.

I thought you were joking, but I just googled it and I can't stop laughing. I can't believe I never heard any of this.

I care. I'm curious how it might go. Even if it's the squash match 99.6% of the fans think it'll be, I want to see what kind of squash it ends up being.

November in New York, jones wants his retirement fight in his hometown and stipe doesn’t give a shit so long as the cheque clears lol

 

[650lb Sumo]

Jon is HW champ so he's relevant

 

[Thepaintbucket]

Waiting on Jon to get over injuries and legal troubles before confirming whatever date

Would be funny as hell if either fighter pulls out when it's close to fight week
