Media Jones looking terrible. Old, out of shape and slow.

You Jon haters are setting yourselves for the biggest disappointment making threads like this. Stipe is a decrepit 42 year old who just admitted to Ariel that he has been firefighting full time these past 2 and a half years.

Jon is finishing him in any round and anyway he wants.
Now ur just as retarded as they are
 
Sure Jones looks very bad... that's why the haters should shut the fuck up with them wanting Jones to fight any other guy than Stipe

<BC1>
 
Aside from Stipe losing to Francis via KO...when exactly has he looked anything like you described?
In each and every fight he had with Daniel Cormier, who Stipe Miocic managed to make look like Max Holloway in terms of striking volume and accuracy. Obviously Stipe got knocked around and out in round one of the first DC fight, but people seem to forget that in the second fight DC blew the record for most significant strikes landed in a UFC heavyweight fight out of the water (181 compared to the previous record of 157 - http://statleaders.ufc.com/en/fight?weight_class=HW), and that DC landed another hundred-plus significant strikes in the third fight. Making DC look like an all-time-great striker requires either effort or a "50 year old, retired, broken down busted ass Stiopic," and somehow coming out with the win doesn't change that.

Stipe at this point is at best a punching bag that punches back. The only reason Jones might not break Stipe's knees with teeps is because that's not how Jones wants to win.
 
May i ask for your training and coaching experience my man? Because its very impressive of you to make and conclusions at all, from a typical touch flow drill sparring, that most fighters tend to do on fight week.

You just go through the motions. And work on having the right feel and distance awareness.

You already know the answer.
 
He’s looks sharp…chubby but sharp. He said he gained weight rehabbing his injury

Jones haters “constantly” grasping at straws.
 
JOn is putting on a charade for the cameras.hes not as stupid as everyone is making him out to be these days
. Thats how i know hes gonna destroy Stipe
 
One doesn't have a to be a hater to say Jones doesn't look good. But yes, Stipe is likely to lose.

I'm picking Jon. I consider Jon the GOAT.

I also think Jon's body is probably in horrible shape. He's got more milage on him than NASA's Voyager 1.
 
Stipe threw some terrible arm punches in sparring. He always had that habit. Hope it was at the beginning of training camp.
And he is 42,5 though...
 
Yes, we cannot say. but he lost a bit of time, 3 years at still good age 34-37.

I heard this point from DC too, but the Jones DC fought in LHW was peak Jones, on PEDs. He looks more natural in last LHW fights and now in HW.

As to opposite point, vs Gane or Francis, weight and wrestling strength is exactly what he needs.

He does look little bit more lean now than vs Gane. Maybe around 240. Vs Stipe, not sure if wrestling will be a factor, so he needs endurance, speed. Anyhow more fat does not mean bad cardio, maybe sometimes even better than more muscle for endurance.
He was younger vs DC, but Jon Jones said he feels better now due to getting way more techniques and ""mastering"" MMA in terms of cage control, distance management, styles... In the 3 years he said he took the training more seriously than ever.

And nah, I doubt Jon Jones had any PEDs favoring him in his big matches back then. If he did, he wouldn't be willing to fight Ngannou (he was willing, as was Ngannou, but the UFC fucked up on it and it seemed like one was avoiding each other which isn't true... They just wanted more compensations as it's fair for a fight of that caliber), he wouldn't be willing to fight someone like Alex Poatan rn... He's getting ready to retire because he knows he can't push too much due to CTE, but as his last fight, his willingness to fight someone like Alex Pereira, suggesting doing that on LHW even, same Alex who destroyed Prochazka... And is special to the point he picks things so quickly that Glover himself said he often loses to Alex Pereira in grappling... It means Jon Jones is that good imo, the PEDs things were seen once in the actual fight he had --- vs DC 2 --- and it was never confirmed whether that offered him an advantage... We don't know at all.

Khabib chalked JJ's lackluster performance vs Thiago and Reyes due to him being unmotivated in his career, due to the lack of a big prospect that would make him as willing to study the fighter and prepare as hard as he does... Which to me matters most than any opinion from non-mma fighters, let alone someone like Khabib.... Plus Khabib's father saying JJ is undoubtedly #1 when it comes to fighting... That he has a talent from God, and that he doesn't believe there is anyone in HW who could beat him --- he said one guy there (likely Ngannou) could raise some questions, but that to him, Jon Jones would dominate the HW as when it comes to fighting only, Jon Jones is #1 --- Khabib's own father.


It can't be denied....
 
His picograms must've gone to his gut, he could be with child...
 
Wasn’t he too fat and out of shape to win his last fight? How did that one go?
 
He looks fat, slow, stiff and sloppy like he did before he took Gane down. Stipe probably looks worse though.
I don’t think you even have a concept of what exactly was going on in that video and what they were working on? He wasn’t even sparring.
 
Stipe looks even worse. That's the HW championship fight the UFC is selling (and it's way too expensive) to its fans.
