"I'd be looking for the knockout against Jon Jones is what I'd be looking for with him," Aspinall explained. "... I'd just be using my size on him, trying to push him back and knock him out. I think that Stipe Miocic has got big knockout power in comparison to Jon Jones. So I think he can knock him out."

Probably not

Probably not

It may be a huge cherry pick for Jon to face an 8th ranked 42 year old Stipe instead of the interim champ Aspinall, but everyone thinking Jon is some HW destroyer because he subbed Gane who is the worst grappler he ever fought is deluding themselves.

This will be the first time Jon tastes HW power, and Stipe is being underestimated big time. Some HW's peak in their early 40's and Stipe is looking fresh, huge and has had plenty of time to heal up.

This could backfire on Jones big time.

Stylistically Stipe has a great patch to victory ala Dom Reyes —- keep it standing

However how much is in the tank? Hasn’t won in 4 years and 42…

Realistically though the only person he fought in that time frame is Francis, who would KO Jones too.

Stipe will injure himself and fall awkwardly blowing out one of his legs when Jon attempts to take him down resulting in an anticlimactic TKO ref stoppage.

Stipe is on the smaller side as far as heavyweights go. Gane is much bigger.

Also Jon has been sparring with heavyweights his whole career. I don't think Stipes power will be shocking to him.

He's been scrapping with his brothers who are bigger than him his whole lifetime. Prob a good reason why he's such a nightmare in the clinch.

Ganes size is meaningless because that fight was never going to stay standing due to his low level grappling, and Stipe still has more power than Gane just not quite as good technique, even though he's a golden gloves boxing champ himself.

And Jon has put off banging with a true HW who is going all out in an actual fight with 4 oz gloves for a decade for a reason, he's terrified of being knocked out which he admitted to having nightmares about even at LHW.

He's taking this very seriously because he knows the margin for error at HW is zero.

He looks like a middle age guy in phenomenal shape.

Nicotine after a cardio session is crazy.

 

[AbominableJoman]

Stipe kod Overroid, Overeem hurt jones in sparring. Clearly Stipe will win. Science….

 

[MarioLemieux]

He looks like a middle age guy in phenomenal shape.

He looks younger than Jones.

He's lived a cleaner lifestyle.

Yeah, but how's his chin holding up?

I don't doubt he's lived a cleaner lifestyle, but it's still funny that the last post from Stipe in the OP is literally a commercial for a nicotine product....

 

[Uber_Noober]

I hope he’s juiced to the gills and gets the knock out,
