News Jon Jones vs Stipe Miocic - UFC 309 - MSG - Via Dana White

[LeBron]

The problem is that people will still watch this garbage. What should happen is the event gets boycotted to send a message to the UFC and Jones.

I don't believe this many people care this much about Tom Aspinall. It's all more about a hatred of Jon.

After Jon is gone the division is done for at least the forseeable future. There are almost no big fights to be made. Tom gets his belt, and doesn't really have anybody to fight. They could postpone the Jon-Stipe fight for another year. They probably should because having fans talk about Jon is more life than that division will see when he's gone.

The Tom hype-wagon will empty out as soon as Jon retires.

UFC 309 it is, that's crazy because a Jehovah's witness just knocked on my door a few moments ago and was going through their whole speil... and when they finished I told them, 'Did you know that Jon Jones is the greatest fighter ever?' They were sort of taken aback which is fine.

This fight has certainly lost most of its relevance at this point. Stipe is a contender for GOAT HW in my book. At this point though, we really don't know what Stipe can do. Odds of a spectacular performance are not on his side. He's coming off a bad loss. He's fighting Jon Jones, who has never lost. It just doesn't seem to matter all that much who wins because they are both likely to retire immediately afterwards. This fight should have happened years ago to get me super excited about it. That being said...WAR STIPE.

The tom hype-wagon has zero to do with any potential Jones matchup.

It has everything to do with him having the shortest average fight time in the UFC and having an absurd combination of speed, power and size that's pretty well never been seen before at HW.

let me know when both guys have weighed in and i'll take it seriously

Yet he's only ever mentioned in the context of Jon Jones. We shall see.

That press conference was funny with Kevin Iole and even John Morgan putting it to Dana, saying the guy isn't active and cannot be P4P.

Fucking Kevin even said to Dana that Dana thought Reyes won the fight, but Dana backed off.

I thought Dana handled himself pretty well. I don't agree with his opinions, but it certainly wasn't like Iole and Morgan owned Dana in that press conference.

 

[shh]

Completely lost interest for this fight. Two out of prime heavyweights fighting just so they can retire right after. If saint Bones Jones win, he will become insufferable.

Wow you mean guy with average shortest fight time in the UFC gets mentioned lots about potential matchup with greatest of all time who happens to be in his division? What a shocker!

 

[Elvis.]

I have my reservations, not getting excited until we’re way closer

He's a pawn in parasocial warfare

 

[Whitestallion]

Wouldn't it be a bad thing remembering that?

We definitely don't have 20 year old Jon Jones nor do we have any version of Stipe resembling what he used to be.

Kind of an odd angle to take.

No its awesome, trust me kid. These are 2 bad dudes, and I'm happy we get to see them go to war. Happier they both make good money.

 

[Bradillac]

This will go down as the biggest joke fight in UFC history.
