I'm going to say if the fight doesn't go to decision it's Stipe Miocic. Decision goes to Jones.

Yeah, I think the same. Leaning Jones by decision because he is so good at keeping things at range and Stipe is not that great at closing distance.
I expect a boring fight, probably similar to the Reyes one.

Rooting for Stipe though.

Jones by decision

 

[Marko Polo]

Jones probably gets a rear naked choke in the second round or something

 

[Xoleth]

No idea
We haven't seen Stipe fight in years
We don't know the shape he is

I put third round finish for Jones. Wouldn't be surprised with a finish in the championship rounds or a decision where both guys look bad either though.

Unless Stipe is totally washed (definitely possible) I don't see Jones getting him out of there early.

He isn't a big puncher, never has been. He probably isn't hurting Stipe in the feet unless its with a big elbow, knee or deep eye hole fingerblast.

Stipe has always had pretty good takedown defense and while we never saw it tested too often, his sub defense is pretty great too. He survived Overeem's guillotine and Reem is known for having a fantastic guillotine.

I think Jones will have to wear him down a bit before getting him out of there, probably a G'n'P finish or some form of choke when Stipe is tired.

JBJ is already talking past Miocic, which is often a sign a fighter isn’t taking his opponent seriously enough. Given the odds, that might make it worth a bet on Miocic. He might get lucky and surprise him in the first round. Anything longer I give it to Jon.

Anyone knows a good betting site that takes crypto and doesn’t require a bunch of complicated registration, ID, etc? Just want to keep it simple.

I have a strong feeling about the third, whoever wins!

 

[Luffy]

I dunno, but Stipe would take more rounds to be defeated by Jon Jones than Aspinall if JJ fought him.

 

[DoubleTrouble]

I think it's the other way round....

if it goes 5 rounds I think Stipe takes it. No-one knows what Jones at 240lbs looks like in a 5 round fight at HW whereas we know Stipe can have wars and go late.

Jones wins by stoppage if not.

Jones by 2nd round sub

 

[cowboyjunkie]

Whichever round Jones chooses to finish it. I’m not sure why he’d want to let it go longer than one.

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

Jones by TKO round 2

 

[Prex32]

its gonna play out in the first round
stipe or jones, first round
stipe hits hard and jones can sub him, which hes gonna try immediately
whoever gets in a good position first is gonna do it

It will never end. Regardless of the outcome of the match, the Jones - Stipe thing will live on Sherdog forever. A dark day in the history of the sport.

Stipe second round TKO

WAR Stiopic!

 

[Takes Two To Tango]

Stipe second round TKO

WAR Stiopic!

Likewise, I think Stipe is going to do the seemingly impossible.

This fight is so hard to pick. As much as people call it a forgone conclusion. I'm picking 3rd round ground and pound, but 2nd choice would be a decision that is back and forth. Kind of weird to have so many sure Jones will win, but there isn't a clear way how. Besides Stipe being old and losing in ways he never lost before.

 

[Humongo]

Stipe second round TKO

WAR Stiopic!

Likewise, I think Stipe is going to do the seemingly impossible.

I have a hunch too. I want Jones to win but I see Stipe finally cracking that chin, maybe in a flukey way, for more dramatic effect.

 

[JBJ was here]

If Stipe doesn't panic and make mistakes, round two for Jones, but round one if Stipe fucks up. Stipe simply can't move well enough to protect his knees from Jones's kicks.
