I don’t know he won two fights. You all wanted to see him fight at heavyweight for like 10 years and then after he does, it isn’t good enough. What a surprise.
Except he ducked before he retiredJon ducked Tom by retiring after Stipe like he said he was going to do all the way back when Tom was still coming off his loss to Blaydes and wasn't even in contention.
Okay.
If Stipe was his last fight, why didn't he retire right then and there? Why drag it out, wasting Tom's prime years and holding up the entire division for no good reason? Jon spent his last year as a duck, refusing to fight a man who's been on an absolute tear and has the potential to be one of the greatest heavyweights the UFC has ever seen.Why would Jon schedule a fight with Tom who was coming off a loss to Blaydes when Jon said Stipe was his last fight
Get your narrative straight
Idk. I don’t remember a lot of people believing Mike was going to win anyway no matter which path he took to his second title defenseKinda like GSP's middleweight run. Just a little cherry on top of an otherwise excellent career.
Albeit, GSP's was better.
Trash. He had one good win against Gane and then ruined it by refusing to defend against actual contenders.
The Stipe fight was the biggest farce and the definition of a paper champion fight. Stipe looked terrible in his last fight against Ngannou, and already looked washed. Then he retired for 3.5 years before fighting Jon.
Jon's legacy is going to be him in prison.
