The reason Miocic looked slow..

[The Witcher]

Everyone forgets Jones beat the living snot out of him in the first round, aint no way you dont look like a lesser version of yourself after that hiding.

Stipe was in great shape, looked focused and on point. Got flipped like an egg and elbowed to Bolivia.

Stipe wasnt a zombie due to age, he was a zombie cause Jones beat his ass badly in round one.

Oh yeah thats true, if you forget that he also looked slow in the first round before that happened.

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

Maybe he pulled a Forrest and xanned it up the night before

 

[SpedDaddyV]

Miocic looked slow because of the kicks to his ribs. Tom would be gasping for air if he got kicked like that wishing he was back in the pub having fish and chips.

 

[BFoe]

The reason he looked slow is because he is old.
You’re welcome.

Gaejthe took a beating off Max in the first round and came away with a badly broken nose.
He didn't look like the average amateur in my gym in round 2.

 

[Epsteins Guard]

Hmmmm.... what's more likely.... that everybody suddenly forgot the fight that they just watched less than 24 hours ago.... or that Stipe looked slow.

I'm going to go with Stipe looked slow.... because my eyes still work.

 

[Slabby]

Because he's old is the reason he's slow. Christ almighty he's been washed for at least 3 years.

 

[ThaiSexPills]

Who woulda thought the guy in his 40’s, who hasn’t won in 4 years or fought in 3 would be slow. No way, shocking.

Stipe knew he was a lamb to the slaughter and it was written all over his face but he made 5m to show up. He would have been stupid not to. What a joke of a title fight though

 

[The Witcher]

ok so the first round ass whooping had nothing to do with Stipe's performance. Its like, it had no effect whatsoever

 

[Neck&Neck]

He was sippin that syrup fosho

Did you watch anything before he got taken down or do you fast fwd to the Jones parts? lol

 

[Egészségére!]

Got flipped like an egg and elbowed to Bolivia.

Agree

The take-away is that Jones looked fantastic not that Stipe was lame


Although more like he got elbowed to Ecuador...

 

[Thepaintbucket]

Nothing about him looked focus. The dude was so low energy leading up to the fight. Then he gladly retired without a fuss.

Stipe looked underwater from the start. He was already starting to show signs of a decline against Ngannou. Now he’s older and inactive, it’s not a surprise. That’s what many predicted and why the fight was criticized.

 

[Gilday]

He looked slow from the get go, almost like he's 42 years old and retired 3 years ago

 

[Pancake Sprawl]

but what's the explanation of Jones looking slow? wasn't he a lot lighter in this fight? he moved like an old man himself.

 

[Typrune Goatley]

Its both. He was old and slow coming in, but yes, he got destroyed in the 1st round and that definitely took a lot out of him.

I was actually pretty impressed with Stipe's ability to survive on his back. He wasn't showing a whole lot of technical jiu jitsu, but he was extremely tough, patient, calm, using frames, and a couple times he recovered his guard while he was getting flattened out in half guard or side control, all while Jones was reigning punches and elbows.

I just wish Stipe used his jab more and cut off the ring better. He usually does those 2 things very well every fight. He definitely lost a lot of energy/explosion after the 1st round.

Stipe from 2016 would beat any version of Jon "Steroid" Jones

He looked slow from the get go, almost like he's 42 years old and retired 3 years ago

what's sad is 58 yr old 1 legged Mike Tyson for the first 30 secs of the 1st rd moved way faster than Stipe did in his first 30 secs of his fight.
