Will Jon Jones finish Stipe?

[GluttonforPunishment]

Bruh, you didn't like his in-depth, highly technical, multi-faceted analysis of this intriguing match up?

Why we gotta be this way man? lol

 

[Leinster Rugby]

Dont be on that my dude. We seen how he treated Gane.

And that stripper. And his wife. They got 'treated' didn't they.

I got ya bruh. But Im not talking about his personal life. Lots of people want to dive into that. Im not. Just what he does in the cage.

 

[melans]

Which bring us to my own analysis, which is:

For some reason this reminds me of the Silva Belfort KO.

 

[Shaun K]

He would kill stipe let it go jones haters that guy will never lose

He will lose one day, and it will happen to someone we expect him to walk over. And after it happens he will never be the same. happens to all the greats

I think Stipe clips Jones.

Stipe is used to facing much bigger, stronger men. Jones is not.

Stipe has the anti-have been grappling for Jones.
Jones doesn't have the answer for Stipe's size, legit-strength, and fistic power.

I think Jones will look good early, Stipe may be tentative.

But the longer it goes, the worse Jones looks, and the more Stipe's natural size + attributes will favor him.

With the multitude of "decisions"in the lower weight class, Jones does not have the power to hurt Stipe — but Stipe has the power to hurt Jones.

What you say makes sense. But I think Joens is just an overall better fighter and finds a way to get it done. He's better than DC who Stipe waged a back-and-forth three part war with.

I know I'm falling into the MMA math fallacy with that reasoning, but Jones is the ultimate villain. Sometimes evil always finds a way. Your prediction could very well play out, though, you'll look smart if it does.

41 y/o Stipe? Yeah Jones is gonna steamroll him.

Vs 2017 Stipe? Jones would join the KO’ed club.

You mean the Stipe who got ko'ed by Cormier, who Jones toyed with on two different occasions?

 

[snaportap21]

Jones conviction has me thinking yes.

I don’t think so. I see Jones winning a decision by mixing it up too well for Stipe and winning a comfortable decision. He loses a round or two at most. His kicks and takedowns will probably put him ahead on points. Stipe’s legs will get attacked constantly to keep a safe distance from Stipe’s underrated boxing (homeboy is Bisping with power).

I wouldn't call losing two rounds "comfortable".

 

[snaportap21]

Wasn’t Leon’s last win pretty “comfortable”?

 

[corrupted]

I think he fucks with his legs and eyes to keep him at distance and disturb his rhythm. Then frustrate him in to either a bad shot or scramble and then subbing him.

I wouldn't call a majority decision "comfortable", but I guess it depends on what you see as comfortable.

I see comfortable as never in danger of being finished while ahead on all scorecards.

Like Usman in the second fight - until he got finished

 

[Cartiac]

There is no poll needed, Yes Jones finishes him, but Stipe should last longer than Gane, maybe even make it to the second round. No one can compete with Jon Jones in his current form. HWs have no reference point to even prepare to have a chance against the skills, experience, and now size and strength of Jones. Jones is the "new breed" HW so many other large lumps with no real fighting skills or even training have been described.

There is much less challenge for Jones now at HW than there was during his LHW run where he had to face so many very highly skilled, accomplished, and skinny legend fighters.

 

[snaportap21]

But he lost the fight, though so scorecards were irrelevant. What are you talking about?

I'm talking about Usman-Leon 3 not being a "comfortable" win for Leon. It was a majority decision, and those - pretty much by definition - aren't "comfortable" wins.

Over and out.

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

Yes I think the fight will happen in July. I don't see why it would not happen. They both want it and so does UFC

 

[SenorFranko]

I think it would be a dreadful performance from Jones if he didn't finish old man Stipe.

 

[PurpleStorm]

Made a poll, which was easier than reading the thread.
