Media Stipe: Ill do what I want against Jones

[loisestrad]

To me this is a 50-50 fight. Jones and Stipe has been fighting the same amount for the last few years, which is a fact that most people miss. Most of them on purpose, obviously.

Jones isn't a hw. Look at him. He's a LHW putting on a few pounds of mostly fat to get to HW..

And the age thing? They're pretty much the same age. 4 years is literally nothing.

And to add: Stipe, as far as I know, hasn't been abusing his body by drinking, snorting and so on. He might actually be younger than Jones in body age.

Come to think of it, I favor Stipe in this fight.

The best UFC HW ever. Prime Stipe lost to Struve lol. Sure all those wins you listed are impressive but he also lost to Jds, DC and Francis ( those last 2 badly ). Your L’s are part of your record and will have an impact on your goat eligibility.

Btw I like Stipe and I sincerely hope that he lands a hail mary on Jones to win. Would be glorious.

If you are going with that with Stipe, Fedor lost by KO twice to Ryan Bader......TWICE! He lost by TKO to Matt Mitrione, TKO to Bigfoot Silva, KO'd by MW Dan Henderson, and lost to an older Werdum. Miocic's list of loses is more impressive than Fedor's.

Can’t think of anyone with a better record.

Beaten ;

Jds
Werdum
DC
Francis
Overeem

Let us not forget:

Stipe is awesome. If Jon has to lose to anyone, I'm glad it could be him.

 

[VinceArch]

Bones will probably bite his nose off or some shit. Stipe will do nothing.

You think Stipe's just gonna sit their and let his nose get bit off?

 

[cws80us]

Stipe has an unbelievable record, probably the goat however he has been out too long.

Jones gets this done handily.

Jones is no spring chicken himself, and he's only had what like 1 fight 3 years, which was less than a round. So I think there's substantial ring rust on both sides. I expect this to be a competitive fight.

 

[FreedomCricket]

Is it just Jones' hate that pushes the Stipe corpse/age agenda?

Stipe just turned 42 in August.

Jones turned 37 in July.

This isn't a 34 y/o Jones versus 49 year old Stipe on a 7 fight losing streak.

Lol yup that must mean bader is the goat

Guess what, smart guy? ALL THOSE LOSSES happened after a decade of dominance and a crazy 30 fight streak. Stipe won’t even make it to his 30th fight. If he did, he would go on a cucuy losing streak lol. Fedor and Stipe are not comparable. All the great ones lose after years of dominance and damage to their body.

saying the stipe that lost to Struve was prime stipe proves you’re being dishonest. Age has nothing to do with it, he was in his prime well after that fight. In fact he got better after the JDS lost

That was his 10th fight at 30 years old… not a rookie or spring chicken by any means. But yeah… your favorite fighters prime conveniently begins when he goes on a winning streak. The worst thing is that I like and respect Stipe but you make me talk shit about the man. I’ m done but one last thing…. Fedor was beating everyone in rings by his 10th fight and went to pride to begin his reign. Cain destroyed Lesnar and Nog before losing to jds in his 10th fight and proceeded to avenge that loss. Jds beat Cro cop in his 10th fight.
…. could go on and on.

 

[RockyLockridge]

what if what he wants is to go to sleep and cash a cheque?

 

[IDGETKTFO]

Imagine Stipe dancing over the unconscious body of Jones while Dana goes RED '.'

The most amazing thing that could happen is Stipe knocking out Jones and retiring right on the spot. Then Dana will have to crown Aspinal as the rightful champ and Jones will have to look like a fool retiring.

 

[AndrewGolota48]

This is a 42-year-old Stipe who hasn’t fought in nearly 4 years.

What Stipe used to be is irrelevant against Jones as he’s probably a shell of himself now (and the betting markets reflect that belief).

Maybe, but that pretty much describes Jones other than the Gane fight. That fight could've been an aberration for all we know. Gane has a huge weakness that plays into the strength of Jones, whereas Stipe doesn't.

In all honesty I thought Gane was going to absolutely humiliate Jones at that point of his career, so what do I know.

 

[Pilo]

Probably true if what he wants is to get steamrolled.

Its that Jon is ducking Aspinall by fighting a guy way older that hasnt fought in 4 years, and his last loss was a brutal KO to another guy he should have fought.

Stipe is old even by MMA standards, and has a lot of miles in the tank.

Jones is trying to sell it as GOAT VS GOAT but its years too late and he knows it.

Its a cowardly retirement for a "Heavy weight champ".

 

[tymikeson]

a little taken out of context TS lol



"ill be prepared for whatever happens, im not going to wait for what jones going to do, im going to do what i want to do"

 

[Khaosan]

I know people shit on Tito for ducking Chuck, but Jones holding up the division for a retirement fight against a guy coming off a brutal KO loss who is 42 and hasn’t won a fight in 4 years is absurd, especially when there’s an active and defending interim champ.

lol I thought Arlovski was Mike Perry for a second

 

[Final Say]

He means he will do whatever the UFC wants... which is to take a dive so the division can move along LOL....stop acting tough for the sake of selling a fake fight

This fight is 10x more serious and competitive than the Gane fight.

The Gane fight was what people think this fight is. People have it totally backwards.

And yes, I said the Gane fight was a farce and walkover when it was announced

 

[Rationality]

Good that he is confident War Stipe

100% this. Don't count the old firefighter out. I believe he's got a chance if he comes into the fight healthy and in shape. Father time will have his day but I hope this fight isn't that time.

Prime Fedor lost to Dan Henderson. If Stipe beats Jones, he'd be ahead of Fedor just on the strength of his wins over Jones and DC. Loses to DC, JDS, and Francis are a lot better than losses to Bigfoot and Dan Henderson.
