If Stipe gets injured...

[Ginja_Ninja]

With all the nonsense over the last year, what are your predictions if Stipe gets injured during camp?

Jones vs Aspinall in November
Jones vs Stipe 2025 (maybe 2026)
Jones retires without fighting
UFC brings in Arlovski as a late replacement
Other....

Keep in mind that Jones in the only fighter in history to completely cancel a card because he refused to take a short notice opponent change.

My prediction is that he wont get injured

 

[Arne Rud]

Artem Lobov saves the day, and fight Jones on short notice

 

[Luthien]

Jon Jones would simply wait for Stipe So that's not something you should wish for^^
Jon is not fighting Tom. Just get over it

 

[fedorthegoat777]

Jones will wait for old man Stipe to get out of the hospital and nursing home and hold on to the belt.

Dana will do nothing.

[Bret 'The Hitman' Hart]

Jones will never fight someone young and dangerous he's not sure of beating at this point.

I guess Shogun Rua should have done the same back in the days instead of giving him a title shot

That would be the best case scenario tbh. It would force Jones to either fight Aspinall (and lose) or get the fuck out of the way (retire/get stripped). The belt would finally go to its rightful owner, Tom Aspinall.

There's a reason you can't make polls: Your poll suggestion suck.

Sometimes i feel like Stipe is only UFC fighter in the world that ages

 

[Egészségére!]

Prime Jones refused to fight MW Chael on short notice

Would be crazy if it turned out that he in fact was.

 

[SamuraiBro]

Dana will let Jones wait for stipe and the glizzy glaze tour continues

 

[DOMMA]

The two reasons why this fight is less than compelling and means nothing other than a payday for the two fighters are highlighted below:

What's weird is that while Stipe is aging, Ngannou is getting YOUNGER.

 

[Mike]

He'll just retire. He pretty clearly doesn't want to fight Aspinall.

They wont let Tom step in, but I could see Black Beast getting the call

 

[TGArthur]

He will be alright

 

[TerrorTimmy]

Jones will keep waiting for Stipe even if they're both over 50 before it finally happens. And Dana will let Jones sit on the belt for as long as he wants, too.

Jones has some kind of blackmail on Dana. There's no other reason for Dana's ridiculous behavior with Jones. Burying drug tests, inventing fake science about "pulsing", saying Jones doesn't need rehab when he clearly has issues with nose candy, and now letting Jones sit out and duck an interim champ so he can fight a guy that's basically 70 and pretend he's the GOAT when he wins

 

[IDGETKTFO]

Jones will make the arguement that Stipe waited for him when jones got injuried so its only fair Jones wait for stipe. And Dana will concure. Then make a big announcement that Jones will fight Stipe in MSG international fight weekend 2025!
