So Anthony Smith gets a video package to send him off but Stipe doesn't?

[TempleoftheDog]

Stipe pissed off the bald goof.

So did GSP.

They didn't suck upto them like Smith, DC, Bisping.

So they get nothing.

Remember after Stipe beat Ngannou, and snatched the belt away from Dana? Handed it to his coach to put it around Stipe’s waist.

Embarrassed that asshole Dana in a very public way.

And Dana deserved it.

The UFC had zero doubt that Ngannou would win. So it did my heart good to see Stipe completely dominate what the UFC was billing as the “Most dangerous man on the planet “.

Stipe loudly complained about money, which is why Dana wanted Ngannou to beat him.

They don't ever forget when fighters complain about money.

Aljo was kept off of PPV main cards for like five years despite being ranked because he complained about money after his first contract ended.

Is he really black?

He looks completely white to me.

Weird AF.

Stipe video would have taken away too much from Trump and Jones

 

[Harlekin]

Nobody would've understand a word from Stipe anyways

 

[gentel]

I have it on good authority that when Belal "Remember the Name" Muhammad retires, the video package will include the full VODs of his entire UFC career, and the several hours of footage will mean no undercard, just Belal replays and one final Belal title defense

It will still be a stacked card

Because Stipe wasn't a fighter, he was a firefighter.

 

[Pierce 34]

I don't think the ufc management ever liked Stipe, they wanted ngannou to be champ because he was at least easier to advertise. Until Ngannou packed his bags and left for more moolah making opportunities

Jon Jones illegally kneed Smith in the head during their fight, and rather than taking the DQ win, Smith fought on and lost. Dana doesn't forget such things.

 

[Tweak896]

Didn't Guida get skipped too? I know UFC doesn't want to do these video packages then they fight a year later.

 

[Ghostoftheville]

Did Arlovski get anything other than a mention from the broadcast team?

 

[markg171]

Pretty sure these usually depend on if the fighter has made it known they're retiring win or lose which gives the UFC time to make something

 

[CC27]

Wasnt it Stipe didnt officially say this is it going into that fight, if he beat Jones he was gonna have to give him a rematch, the money would have been too good.

Dont even remember did they not air anything on the next show once Stipe was officially done?

 

[Sms_productions713]

well they made that a bigger deal than it should have been

 

[svmr_db]

Smith made it known months ahead of time that this would be his final fight, Stipe left it up in the air and didn't commit to anything.

Analysts are more valuable to TKO Holdings than high-level fighters. Then again, so are popcorn poppers like Forrest compared to Chuck and Matt Hughes.
