[Pharenheit]

Who’s great grandpa is this?

Like I said to the other idiots complaining about this match-up, you don't have to watch it, you can just skip the event altogether if you're so against this fight. The people who buy PPVs don't care if Aspinall (or Blaydes) has to wait a little longer for a chance at the undisputed title. Just don't watch it, and stay away from the PBP.

Can we please not do this?

He looks fine. Pics don’t mean anything anyway, you ever see those photo exhibits where they show the same person with 5 or 6 different light exposures? You can look like 6 completely different people depending on the camera angle and lighting.

this fight might be really funny, Ik jon subbed gane in like 40 seconds but the one or two punches he threw looked cartoonish, this might be a dark comedy in MSG

 

[Bork Neslar]

He should not fight Jones.

 

[bambammccoy]

This hurts.

I remember watching him eat Struves uppercuts on some choppy stream now he's at the of the game facing the final boss. We gettin old

Just trying to rock the Frankenstein look.

And his last two fights ended with him getting KOd in the first round lol

4D chess move. He's setting up for a resurgence story line. He knows what he's doing. Trust the process...

He looked old and slow as fuck against Ngannou, I remember he even tried a younger looking haircut to hide it. Jon Jones is going to kill this man, a reasonable athletic commission wouldn't even sanction this fight.

 

[TheGreatA]

He looks way better than Jones. Actually in good shape there.

The guy looked old even when he was young so that's nothing new.

 

[Deceasedxo]

Legit looks the same as always.

 

[Staph infection]

At least he got rid of that stupid haircut that he had where his hair was in his face. I can't wait to see Jones choke this guy out in November of 2033.

 

[JBJ was here]

What about him looks ancient?

All the wrinkles.

 

[SalvadorAllende]

It's not THAT bad. Jones IS actually the legit HW champ, and Stipe is the latest reigning HW champ in the UFC.

Fight should have happened a year ago though, obviously, but it's nothing like Fedor-Rampage.

Jones has only one win at HW against a handpicked opponent and was coming off a few dubious wins at 205. A SD against Thiago Santos and a fight with Reyes that most people including myself thought he lost...

Stipe is geriatric. He has not fought in ages and last time we saw him in the cage he was outgrappled, outstruck and ended up sleeping in the canvas.

2-1 in his last 3 fights
fully healed
crazy to think jones has been fighting pro longer than stipe

also crazy weirdos here are ok at adesanya who is 1-2
in his last 3 fights getting title shots

hes also a natural HW btw
and also the HW GOAT but doesnt deserve 1 title shot?

so much biased

you weirdos said before that gane is a big natural HW
who would crush jones

also jones has the best resume all time the hardest
they cant even beat the D level version of jones
the worst version of him
that breaks your heart?

no one can surpass his resume not in this lifetime

 

[TheMadHatter]

stipe was never that good

 

[TheBulge]

OP might be some young punk who will have a heart attack if he spots a grey hair on his scalp.

The only relevant thing to be taken from that photo are the insanely thick wrists, hairline and how strong and in shape he looks.

 

[JBJ was here]

Stipe looks just fine.

here are some more pics from the same day when he visited the Cleveland Guardians.

Definitely looking better in these pics than in the OP's pic. Still looks older than he really is, but not quite like a 60 year old face on a 42 year old body.

 

[linvillegorge]

He doesn't look "ancient". He just looks like a man of his age in excellent shape.

Now, with that said, this formerly great fighter who is on the wrong side of 40, has basically been retired for three years, and got KTFO the last time we saw him in the cage absolutely should not be fighting for the UFC HW title.
