Stipe Miocic makes Jones quit first time on his career

[Poatan]

Stipe is old and Jones is counting on that but that will backfire him catastrophically. Stipe is going to outbox Jones and Jones won't be able to take him down. I think Stipe knocks Jones down in first round and Jones barely survises. Then he enters second round exhausted and gets saved by the ref. Jones is old and fragile too. Prime Stipe vs Prime Jones is not even close. Stipe beats him 10 times out of 10.

Your random opinion most certainly deserved a thread start! Good job champ.

 

[IronGolem007]

I think Jones is severely underestimating Stipe as well.

Forget the Ngannou fight; Jones does not have Ngannou's power, legit heavyweight body mass, and poses no KO threat at all.

 

[GluttonforPunishment]

Guess there's no need to watch the fight then.

 

[Chama]

TS Don't ever mention Jones kids again !

 

[ThaiSexPills]

I doubt it but I really hope he does and I’d absolutely love to see it

 

[Alpha_T83]

A lot of us will be hoping this happens, but it's unlikely.

 

[Shaolin Alan]

Bet your mom's house on it, TS!!

 

[NenadRS]

Yes, Looks like Jones really underestimated Stipe. It is hard to tell how Stipe will perform.

Both had great cardio so far. But Stipe is much older, Jones speaks like he is old veteran, but he is 37yo, Cormier was older that than in second fight vs him.

Jones hasn't received that many shots, not so many wars, he has big advantage in age and millage especialy.
Regardless of age, what Stipe went through vs JDS 1, DC 1/2/3, 2xFrancis, Jones hasn't endured in all of his fights combined. (which is to admire, but he was on PEDs also)

lol Jon Jones the MMA GOAT has "no KO threat at all"

tell that to DC

 

[Herwald]

Eye pokes, dude. Jon is guaranteed to win.

 

[Left Hook Lacy]

Could be. But the bookies must know something. Like Stipe didn't train for the last years. Or Stipe's training partners said he doesn't have it anymore.

 

[NoStoneUnturned]

I don't believe that Jon is underestimating Stipe. I think Jon's fight IQ is high and he well understands what Stipe brings. It all comes down to whether Stipe can be the guy to defy his age, which is 42.

Or bet everything you have and get six times the money back!

DC was fat, underreached, and vertically-challenged.

Stipe is fit, as tall as Jones, has more technical boxing skill, and hits harder than anyone Jones has ever faced.

I can’t imagine Jones ever quitting in a fight. He doesn’t quit. He makes his opponents quit.

You should rewatch that second fight and talk to me about Stipe’s great technical boxing skill. Yes, the body shots in the fourth round were impressive, but prior to that he was plodding forward with little to no head movement getting tagged constantly by big punches and just looking for a big punch of his own.

 

[TerraRayzing]

I don't see Jones ever quitting. He admitted he felt like quitting in the Reyes fight but still kept fighting. Also, he was pretty much the only one to match Prime DC in output and pace. Says a lot.
That said, dunno why I have this feeling that Stipe will upset Jones. Idk. Shades of Ronda and Holly.

 

[Ayreon]

Does Jones have a history of quitting?

Let me remember to all the wankers out there that he did not quit to Victor TRT Belfort's armbar.

100% of you would piss your pants only by staring into the eyes of Belfort, let alone being locked into an armbar.

Can't have gems like Lemur but we get to keep wet farts like Poatan
