Here is why I believe Stipe Miocic will beat Jon Jones

[octagonation]

Jon Jones doesn´t have that one shoot KO threat nor does he have an advantage on Stipe in the wrestling department. Stipe Miocic is great wrestler with a wrestling background himself and super durable. The fight will be fought mostly stand-up and here is why I believe Miocic gets an advantage he has power unlike Jones and could probably catch Jones plus he has long reach and Jones won´t be able to enjoy fighting on the outside.

I was listening to the rampage podcast where Ngannou said alot of people don´t realize how tough Stipe is and it surprises people when in there with him and I completely agree with him. I believe this fight will play out like Stipe vs DC 3 very tough back and forth fight where Stipe eventually finds the finish in the end

 

[Final Say]

If stipe lands like Dom Reyes and Thiago Santos did (lmao), Jones will be finished in this fight.

 

[Corrado Soprano]

Jon hurting himself walking to the cage is the only way I see Stipe winning.

 

[wildchild88]

When fighters with mileage turn 40, they usually move like a crack head in the cage.

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

As both a Stipe fan and a Bones fan, I'm happy with either of them winning. Worst possible outcome is a draw or NC.

Completely agree.

If Stipe looks good, pre-fight, I'm going to bet the most on this fight than I have ever bet on any other fight in my life.

It's crazy that people think Jones can just walk over Stipe, when he could barely beat Anthony Smith, Thiago Santos, or Dominic Reyes.

Stipe would beat the dog shit out of all three of these clowns, on the same night.

If Stipe was a little younger I could see it going that way. At his prime he had great hands and exceptional boxing, particularly for HW where dudes don't generally move that great or use angles or footwork as well.


But Stipe is both old and extremely inactive.

And he looks rough in the recent pics posted by @Poirierfan

 

[BlankaPresident]

I believed it too. Like 4 or 5 years ago.

 

[Swamp Rat Jones]

Going to be a repeat of this...

 

[Staph infection]

I though the OP would be a picture of booger sugar. Stipe is not fast enough and I don't think he is strong enough to keep from getting taken down. This will be a round 1 finish for Jones.

Looks like Josh Barnett
Then Robin Williams

 

[mjoln]

Three years ago Ngannou ko'd him and before that he had very tough fights against DC. Its reasonable to think he is not that guy from highlights anymore.

Stipe got the finish was in the rematch. The trilogy went the distance.

I won’t be surprised if Stipe KTFO Jones. It’s always been a possibility. It will be the ultimate cosmic justice visited upon a lowlife coward.

 

[Soggust]

nor does he have an advantage on Stipe in the wrestling department.

Disagree, respectfully.

The rest of your take may not have totally convinced me, but it has swayed me a touch closer to Stipe.

Anything can happen in MMA and he's a live dog, for sure.

Jones just has that x Factor though. He always pull something out of his ass to win whether it the eye pokes growing shots referees watching YouTube while the fights going on etc etc etc

 

[JonnyBonesPharmacist]

Bones sees something in old ass Stipe, or he would never take the fight.

Always against smaller men (many older, while he was young) ... while enjoying physical advantages.

He won't have any of this with Stipe.

He will be the fatter, skinnier, weaker man (with no punch), and will be at a DISADVANTAGE in punching power and body strength this time, with zero wrestling advantage.

Lol, imagine a draw and the UFC decides to run it again while Aspinall defends his IC once again.

Sherdog woud implode.

Lol, on a side note, Stonedlemur just sent me this vid about Dana's stingy ass by Mixedmollywhoppery. Thought you and some other fools might be interested.

 

[Luthien]

Old Man Stipe defeating Jones - Tom - Poatan before retiring would be hilarious
