Pavlovich is not a more interesting match up than Stipe

Where did Josh Thomson talk about Pavlovich?
He's talked about him on the Weighing In podcast. Basically says that his wrestling wasn't good, and that he got ragdolled in the wrestling room. I don't always agree with Josh's takes, but he's a very straight shooter when it comes to guys he's trained with/around.
 
If you want Jones to lose - Pavlovich is the guy you go with

40 year old Stipe can't do much anymore

A guy like Pavlovich can turn a fight into a roll of the dice with the right gameplan.
Pavlovich will lose the same way Gane did, if not more violently. Stipe has a fighting chance.
 
Pavlovich KO's Jones, I've said it over and over. Stipe will give him a tough fight, I see a fight like Gus 1
 
I'm sorry but it's a joke how people credited the win over Gane. The way people talk is like Gane has zero ground game, a complete whitebelt, only because Jones made it look easy.

People said that before the fight because he got dry humped by Ngannou on one leg lmao

Gane's ground game is pitiful

I mean he attempted leg locks and other stuff. People were talking about it like how good Ngannou's ground game improved. Gane wasn't taken down until Ngannou, who probably no one expected to take Gane down and it's possible he didn't train for any takedowns in prep. He even stuffed JDS and has won by heel hook and arm triangle in UFC. The way people talk is like he gets toppled over by a slight breeze and falls to the ground. Also he usually does good keeping distance so you can't even close the gap to attempt the takedown.

That’s because he never fought a wrestler. Ever!! It was an easy fight to call
 
Can’t wrestle. Not as technical of a striker.

Overeem fight.

He’d get Gane’d. Or worse.

End of.
Stipe:

Over the Hill. Knocked dead by a Jab in his last fight 2 years ago.

Struve Fight.

He’d be Rampage Jackson’d or worse.

End of.

A jab? Lol oh you don’t watch fights

Rampage got RNC’d. Ever seen stipe in trouble on the ground? Ever seen a submission come close?

Cuz Pav got a bully beat down and KO’d by overeem down there. Overeem. The guy who met the same exact fate…. Against stipe.
 
HW sucks donkey dick. The UFC paid so little that no legit talent wants to bother. Any wins are basically meaningless.

It’s not a pay issue, there just aren’t many guys that big willing to learn how to fight and work their way up.

There are countless elite athletes washing out of other sports at a young age. They’d transition to mma if they had what it takes. They ain’t making more doing anything else!
 
Gane was suppsed to do that!!!

So was DC!!!
The only thing to be said in defense of that post is that Pavlovich has power that Gane doesn’t

Problem is, he does have something Gane has: zero grappling!
 
I think if all parties were interested then the fight would've been scheduled for international fight week.

DC had superior grappling too.

I was saying Jones by wrestling all day even before he got an opponent at HW. I think Jones is good, not Gane is easy to take down.

of course its more interesting

however fights are not picked cause they are interesting, or challenging, etc

its about money
its about time for some of us to accept that. This aint a serious sport. Its a show.
 
by this logic stipe is a more intriguing matchup than ngannou
 
And it will all mostly be true. Jones waited for the perfect moment to move up. He should have moved up when Cormier was still competitive. Jones is very fearful of losing. He doesn't want a real direct and equal challenge. He always wants every chip possible stacked in his favor. Dude was bigger than most LHWs and STILL cheated....smh. Mounds of evidence and his behavior proves he's an unscrupulous scheming coward.
Managing your career and game planning for best results is considered unscrupulous and scheming? Not moving up to beat a guy you already beat multiple times is fearful of losing? Making weight for every flight without issue is being unfairly bigger than your opponents? Please start charging Jones to rent that empty space in your head, letting him stay there for free isn’t fair. Ok, not I get it, since he is taking advantage of you by living rent free in your head you see him as a cheating, size bully who is unscrupulous and scheming. Fair point, you should get professional help to evict him.
 
Yeah it is

Just thinking about Jones vs Pav makes me erect from a follicles stand point
