The reason Miocic looked slow..

[doggo]

Anybody in their early 40s definitely can feel the difference and drop in energy compared to their late 30s.

Stipe was slow because of his age.

If you're in your 20s or early 30s, don't speak on this comment

You're damn right I feel like crap since i've been in my 40's

The last time Stipe beat a fighter who won a match since was almost 7 years ago in early 2018, since then his only wins are over Cormier.

Those two fighting each other really was a bit of a closed shop, only DC beating Lewis inbetween before Stipe got destroyed by Francis and the standard of the fights between them progressively got worse.

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.

He looked like that in his training footage before the fight and also in the first round already as soon as the fight started. Blaydes (?) who saw him train confirmed that, i think he was injured. Ive never seen any fighter in UFC history, not even the fattest most out of shape HW’s, move so slow. My 86 yr old grandpa moves faster and he can barely walk…

I'd say even more than a loss of speed, anyone over 40 notices that endurance goes; you might have some snap to your shots for the first round, but it fades much faster than in your 20s or early 30s.

Then how you explain Jared and Glover? Glover had more energy than Stipe when he was the same age.. and Jared is 40 and has more energy than Stipe who is only 2 yrs older.

Edit: Stipe was already showing signs of decline in his 2nd fight with Francis. He did not look much better than he did here. Not to mention I think the inactivity played a huge part here. You can't be inactive in upper 30's and early 40's and return to competition without expecting a huge performance drop off.

 

[mister piscadinha]

he's 42 buddy, his last win was in 2020

Calling it now...

Stipe will be Jake Paul's next

It's individualized. Account wear and tear. Was glover faster in his early 30s or was he faster in his late 30s? Use your brain bro lol

Exactly brutha!!! I'm sure you felt better in your late 30s than early 40s.

Well of course inactivity doesn't help. But AGE IS A HUUUUGE FACTOR. How old are you?

Glover was a significantly better fighter in his early 30s. Jared is shot now.

 

[WhiteMousse]

That's really insightful. I thought it was because he's 42 and hasn't fought in four years.

 

[LostMyBlackBelt]

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

He also looked slow blowing on his soup at Denny's for lunch.

Are you in shape? I am 44 and still feel like I am in my 30's.. I Cut back on drinking and have a great diet.. Cardio 4 days a week.. Fend off that aging process as long as we can..

 

[Dbreiden83080]

His punches looked like they were on 0.75x in Youtube.

Have Jones take you down and beat you up for 4 min
Then kick you in the stomach mulitple times..
Lets see how fast you punch?

 

[Urluberluu]

Stipe is old and slow he was here for money

1 min into the fight Jones took him down and beat the crap out of him..
Then he went to work on the body kicks..
Sure Stipe is 42 but that is slowing down anyone..

He looked slow going to answer the phone asking him if he wanna fight for the world title.

He also had to ask em to speak up and shit.

Very lower end of 30's.

Glover was a significantly better fighter in his early 30s. Jared is shot now.

Glover being a better fighter in his early 30's doesn't really explain how he was still so competitive in his early 40's. A shot Jared still beats most of the lower ranked guys.

You may feel that way, I sure did. But your reaction time has slowed, you can't stop and turn as fast. You are not as flexible, you will get injured easier.

SHit all starts to fall apart in your 50's though. I run/hike over 1,000 miles a year and still lift some. But now my knees hurt every step, I can't turn as quickly, I have NO lift in my jumping anymore. I pull muscles very easily.

I got a bunch of body measurements and workout records from when I was a teen until today. I have about the same build now as when I was 23, but can't do the same things.

What was gameplan?
