If Reyes can beat Jones, then Miocic can

Sure I mean they're both athletes

It's funny that it was made a mockery that Gus has long arms so he had a chance and Reyes played baseball and football in high school so he had a chance then they both had close fights with Jones but people like Glover and Cormier were next in line (Cormier to a lesser extent.)

Reyes has better TDD than Stipe does and that matters so much when you're facing Jon

Idk know about that, Stipes TDD is legit. Reyes gets taken down all the time, he's just good at getting back up.

I love Stipe, but context matters.

Everyone has a different physical peak, and it last for different amounts of time, and the post-peak some guys have hits hard.

Stipe seems like the type of athlete to have trouble with his back and knees, and just general speed as he gets older. I could be wrong, but I just think he's going to slow way way down, and move slower and slower, much faster than he would like. Last time I saw him looking really good was 2019. It's 2023. And yeah, Jon is not in his peak either, but he looked decent in his last outing. Stipe is 40 after all, and appears to be unmotivated as hell.
 
That was a bad night for Jones and he still pulled it off. I wouldn't count on that Jon showing up. But Stipe is definitely a huge threat. He's a different level of opponent and Jones has to take him extremely seriously or he could lose.
 
While every other fighter in MMA history would have losses in 16 title fights and Jon doesn't, you'll take the one fight where he looked the worst and extrapolate that to mean it's easy to defeat him.

Based on that logic, it's easy to beat everyone!
 
MMA math is just horrific. Also let's not forget that Jones was just playing around at 205 at that point. A focused Jones will most likely destroy Stipe.
 
Just wanted to make this thread.

I also see Reyes's TDD and striking, good right hand, pivoting very similar to STipes.

I do favor Jon, but Stipe could be a problem.
 
If you would be any deeper in the closet with your unrequited love for Jones you'd make it over to Narnia.
 
Careful, TS is a snitch and reported me for necro threading his old Jon Jones hate threads.

Heaven forbid someone points out his amazing takes when they blow up in his face.
 
If I am a duck there must be a pond! Oh fuck that just added to your bullshit. Sorry about that.
