Stipe has a better chance against Jon than people expect

[MarioLemieux]

It's OK to be older at HW than the other divisions and Stipe looks younger/better than Jon does now holds his frame better and doesn't party all the time. Jones looked awkward on the feet against Gane and only won because Gane has no grappling Stipe can wrestle and punch way harder than Dominic Reyes who beat Jon and Jones is pillowfisted even at LHW.

Just waiting to see who pulls out next. By the time they actually fight, Stipe will be 50.

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

People aren't factoring in that Stipe has had all those years to rest and recover.

I agree. Beating Gane, even though he had the belt, isn't too impressive.

 

[TempleoftheDog]

Stipe hits harder than anybody Jones has taken a punch from. Of course he has a chance.

Stipe by TKO.

He didn’t have the belt, though. It was vacant.

 

[MarioLemieux]

Aspinall is the betting favourite against Jon and it would much easier for him to beat Jon but lets not sleep on Stipe he has been taking better care of himself and looks younger even though older plus he has a lot more lean muscle mass

Yeah, I think you make some great points. There's so many unknown factors coming in to that fight, its really impossible to make any credible prediction. Both guys getting older and being dormant for so long totally can change the equation.

I would love to see Stipe ktfo Jones but Jones is only signing up for the fight because he has reason to believe Stipe is mega declined.

Probably Winkledink has been talking to guys who Stipe trained with or something.

Jon isn't even with Jackson Wink anymore..

 

[SuperNerd]

100%

That's why this is lose-lose for Jon.

He smokes Stipe, and he smoked a old man.
He has a good fight with Stipe, he struggled with a old man.

JJ fans are going to become the biggest Stipe fanbois for the next few months.

 

[-Sideways-]

I see Jones taking Stipe down at will. This fight won't be competitive.

 

[laleggenda27]

Stipe is 42, has a full-time job, got flatlined in his last fight, and hasn't won a fight in more than 4 years.

That's all I need to know.

 

[Final Say]

I see Jones taking Stipe down at will. This fight won't be competitive.

Nobody has ever successfully employed a game plan resembling this against stipe.

 

[TriangleMonkey]

Happening in Nov?

 

[MarioLemieux]

I see Jones taking Stipe down at will. This fight won't be competitive.

Reyes and Gus easily stuffed Jon and they are smaller and not wrestlers like Stipe this will be a standup fight

 

[Rataria]

IDk Stipe is mad old now lol . Very unlikely. I dont even think Stipe ends up fighting. I think it will be Aspinal/Jones as crazy as that sounds. Jon gets the sub or get flatlined.

 

[dipstickjimmy]

I agree. Beating Gane, even though he had the belt, isn't too impressive.

Gane didn't have the belt. Never had the belt.

 

[g*r*b]

Nobody has ever successfully employed a game plan resembling this against stipe.

True. In fact nobody has ever taken Stipe down more than once in a fight.

 

[Odoylerules22]

Also worth noting the only time Stipe has lost has been from getting punched and KO'd. He more than likely won't have that worry against Jones unless his chin is shot to nothing.

TBH i have no idea how each will look. They don't fight enough.
