Where is Stipe? (A lazy inquiry)

He works at the Valley View Fire Department in Ohio. The phone number is (216) 524-6469. Call and ask for Steepay.
 
Coming up on year 2 of the efforts to shut the octagon doors with he and jones within, I feel like I haven’t seen this guy in nearly a decade.

Sure I could answer some of these questions with even less key strokes on a googling, but I’d prefer to make it a discussion amongst the gang.

How old is stipe now? How long has it been since he’s last fought? How’s his training been going? Anybody have more of a personal finger on the pulse to this? Curious what sort of coverage the Stipe side of fight preparations and personal well being over the time elapsed has amounted to. Is he just popping in for one more big appearance check or is this gonna be a real fight? Can any sort of real challenge to Jon, who is clearly very visibly in a serious training camp, be expected of him?

From what I’ve seen it looks like Aspinal is training harder as an alternate.

Relying on the dribbles of training montage that come through the Insta etc isn't useful when it comes to Stipe. He went on quite a bit when he was on the Jaxxon podcast about how tight a lid he and his coaches deliberately keep over their activities in training camps. Even when it comes to Embeddeds, because the guy who films him for those is always the same guy and they've become good friends, and by now knows what NOT to film. No wonder all we get is pad-hitting and semi-arty shots of exhaustion.

Maybe the OnlyFans has more but die-hard Stipestan though I am, I'm still too embarrassed to find out. But I may sign up in a few days for the sake of the upcoming fight. Shit, I watched him on EBay Live shill some stuff yesterday morning, what pride could I possibly have left?

I don't think he's in it just for the paycheck. Can't remember the source, but I remember someone describing Stipe pounding his fist into his hand and saying of John "he's beatable, I know I can beat him." Stipe is very, very competitive in nature, even if it's just a game of beer pong. I don't know whether at this point he can be the real challenge you ask about, but this much I'm sure, he WILL NOT just phone it in.

Stellar share, friend. Thank you!
That’s great to read.
I’m a little worried for him, cause you know Jon is going very hard and is a crazy person. 42 is a worrisome time to return, especially with a long retirement oriented lay off, and to be returning to face an absolute killer.
If you do happen to get the info OF, altho I talked about screenshots it was in jest. I don’t want to infringe on stipe’s little side hustle or encourage anyone else to do so. Info like this is totally fair tho, and great. Thank you again!
 
I believe he is in Ohio
Some guy he picked up in his ambulance, right now, is probably all like, "Why the fuck does my ambulance driver keep getting out at every red light, taking his shirt off, and hitting the ambulance tires with a sledgehammer?!?"
