Media Stipe: Ill do what I want against Jones

[Final Say]

So Jones is scared of Aspinall... Noted...

I’m not sure I’d use the word scared, I just don’t think he’s interested in fighting what he perceives as a serious threat anymore at this stage of his career

Call it what you want….. lol

Stipe Miocic: 'I'm going to do what I want to do' at UFC 309 against Jon Jones

While everyone in the MMA space has had their say about the upcoming UFC heavyweight title fight at UFC 309, Stipe Miocic has laid low, preparing for the biggest fight of his career. On Nov. 16, Miocic (20-4 MMA, 14-4 UFC) will return to the octagon for the…

Stipes corpse maintained it will "do whatever he wants" in the Jones fight. Doesn't seem too likely but at least he's confident in himself even if nobody else is. Anyone at all picking Stipe? I see this as easy money for Jones and essentially a cop out of a fight.

I believe him. But what he's not saying is he just wants a sweet retirement check not anything about the fight.

Power punching is a high variance MMA strategy; power punchers are always going to be vulnerable to something because sitting on a power punch leaves you in a relatively weak defensive position in terms of distance, feet, and hands. Jones fights standing on the outside and in the clinch where he has low variance advantages over everyone he fights. He doesn't stand in power punching range and he's the best there's ever been at closing from the outside to takedown/clinch without leaving himself vulnerable to the power punch - his takedown in the Gane fight is the textbook example of how to do this. No one's even rocked Jones on the feet, and Stipe's too old and slow to have a decent chance of being the first to do so, much less being the first to knock him down or out.

Stipe's not getting a first round stoppage. The most likely first round stoppage by far is a submission by Jones.

Sure Jones could submit Stipe R1, that would be his only way to win that fast. Stipe aint no Cyril though and actually has good wrestling. He will be looking to stand or take Jones. Stipe is big and tall, good wrestling and Jones cant just hide behind his range with a guy as big as himself. That said, Stipe is aging and we have no idea what version of Stipe we will be seeing.

And Jones has the honor of being Hamills best
