Media Stipe Miocic was 'mad and upset', told Embedded crew to stop filming after Jones faceoff

[spinup]

he's irrelevant to the current situation

Stipe has the opportunity to do the best troll move ever if he pulls out now and Jones ends up facing Aspinall.
It would be the most hilarious situation in UFC history.

Is Cormier and jones on sight ? Or can they be in the same room these days

lol jones wont fight any late notice replacement

 

[BeastDanSevern]

This is not an easy fight for Bones. Bones will have to fight standing.

He will batter Stipe standing if he has to.

If he declines, with Aspinall being the official backup, he is never ever beating the ducking allegations.
Hilarious either way.

Im sure they can, but Jones says DC doesnt like him goin over there and trying to shake hands and play nice with him.

 

[Lord Pyjamas]

This is great for Stipe. Historically he fights more efficiently when he's pissed off and is a betting underdog (e.g. vs Ngannou 1 and DC 2).

I don't think Stipe can maintain being pissed off for more then a couple of minutes before going back to normal.
The words you are looking for is: When he feels he has something to prove!
And I agree with that!

 

[Streeter]

He will batter Stipe standing if he has to.

When last the he battered anyone standing? If Stipe hits him with the shots the last 2lhw fighters hit him with Bones got issues

He's never fought a late replacement in his career. That's how the whole sonnen decable started

 

[CasualBot]

Jones the type of guy to buy his own wolf tickets just to hype himself up internally.

 

[Islam Imamate]

Lmao it's just fake drama Jones is using to hype up this dogshit matchup.

Here's the fun part though, as MMA fans we can pretend to care and believe that Stipe has a chance but once he gets smoked we'll say "Nah Stipe was washed, it means nothing and now fight Tommy Aspinall"

 

[CombatCyborg]

I'd be pissed too, now people will believe Jon's lie and think Stipe is that kind of person when he's exactly the opposite. So Jon's acting like a victim, pretending he has this stellar reputation to uphold, while viciously lying and smearing Stipe who actually does have a great reputation that he worked hard for his whole life. Extreme slimeball shit.

[Pancake Sprawl]

It was a weird face off.

Jon refusing to shake hands and talking about Stipe dissing his kids, which no one seems to have a single bit of proof of.

Hopefully the non handshake curse strikes again tomorrow night, but odds are not the greatest in grandpa Miocic's favor.

and him borrowing Kamaru Usman's hat to wear was also weird

 

[Jeffy37]

Stipe is a legit hero. Legend. He deserves our respect. Its our responsibility to cherish our hero's. This Jones guy is a bum

 

[AstralPanda]

I’m pumped, I’m just a little upset they’re holding up the division for it

The other option would be to kick stipe out of a fight that he already had a full camp for and waited for like a year for. Either that or strip Jones.

Both of which would probably get far more backlash, especially since Tom is a relative newcomer with one big win under his belt.

Having precedence over 2 legends of the sport with a decade of seniority over him would be odd.

If Tom had been around before the Stipe bout was made, then I think the logic would hold up. Tom would be the obvious next in line.


Since they had this fight contractually signed before Tom came into the title picture, only thing that makes sense is they see it through.

 

[Fishmonger]

Is Tom upset though?

 

[markg171]

You do know Jones instead fought Vitor 3 weeks later right

 

[Morning Star]

Here's the fun part though, as MMA fans we can pretend to care and believe that Stipe has a chance but once he gets smoked we'll say "Nah Stipe was washed, it means nothing and now fight Tommy Aspinall"

It just reminds me of Tito stirring up shit with an old Ken Shamrock to distract from him ducking Chuck.
