Stipe gonna make Jones go sleepy

[RoñaCastroJr]

I don't think the Stipe who fought DC in their second fight beats Jones, let alone whatever version exists today. He was sloppy as fuck, getting outstruck by DC for 3 rounds until he finally figured out midfight that body punches were a weakness.

nah, man go rewatch the fight
dc ate some sneaky heavy punches to the face and at some point he lost drive.. and then stipe came with the body shots

Just imagine ... all the crying, Dana's face, the uproar in the stands, the victory from a humble working class man over a cheater, the UFC HW GOAT beating the LHW GOAT (and probably the MMA GOAT). Getting his check, getting his belt, vacating the belt because it will most likely be his last fight, the mumbling in his post fight interview in the octagon with Joe, leaving his gloves in the octagon and leaving the arena with a smile from ear to ear knowing he just wrote history in his last fight.

With all the ~recent upsets (Jizzy, Val, Nunes, Usman, Sterling, etc.) I don't take anything for granted no more, and won't be surprised one bit if Stipe somehow finds a way to beat Jones...!

Good point.

He certainly owned the ground game. Stuffing all but 1 of DC's attempts, while DC only stuffed 2 takedowns.

Seems to be the case here that Jones was able to out wrestle the Olympic wrestler.

Neither could keep the other down. Their wrestling canceled each other other.

I agree, DC had the ability to get up. But I think especially with the first match, there was this big deal made of DC feeling insulted about Jones arrogance when they first met about being able to take DC down...and that DC felt he was the better wrestler.

Then they fought and the statement was made that Jones was the better wrestler. There was nothing DC could do about it.

It was definitely a shock to DC. It looks like he just couldn't wrap his head around the physicality and strength difference in their wrestling exchanges. You can see in the 2nd fight DC is very confident in the TD but quick to bail of the pin. I think that shock fucked with DC a lot in that first fight

Stipe will KO Jones guaranteed if he lands just 1. Jones better be ready to run around the cage and hope Stipe tires.

Jons going to maul Stipe. Jon knows he doesn’t have HW punching power and he’s training accordingly. I honestly seen jon putting Stipe away inside the first round via sub, maybe tko. Either way, he’s going to put Stipe on the mat and finish him there.

jones takes it

Your saying Stipe will KO Jones if he lands just "one" - one punch and its over ??
